Adopt Ohana

French Bulldog · Female · Senior · 9 years

Ohana is a French bulldog who came to us following her owner's move. She suffers from an infiltrating tumor in her jaw, which extends both horizontally and vertically, preventing her from opening her mouth properly. We don't know how fast this tumor will progress. It is not painful at the moment, but there will come a time when Ohana will no longer be able to eat. Despite her cancer, Ohana remains a very energetic dog. We will do everything to give her a gentle and loving end of life.

Ohana est une bouledogue français arrivée chez nous suite au déménagement de sa maîtresse. Elle souffre d’une tumeur infiltrante à la mâchoire, qui s’étend à la fois horizontalement et verticalement, l’empêchant d’ouvrir correctement la bouche. Nous ne savons pas à quelle vitesse cette tumeur va progresser. Elle n’est pas douloureuse pour le moment, mais viendra un jour où Ohana ne pourra plus s’alimenter. Malgré son cancer, Ohana reste une chienne très dynamique. Nous allons tout faire pour lui offrir une fin de vie douce et aimante.

About Ohana

What life with Ohana looks like

Ohana is a senior french bulldog dog waiting at Les Petits Vieux ASBL in Chièvres.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇧🇪Adopting from Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ohana, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ohana?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Les Petits Vieux ASBL handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ohana on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ohana if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Les Petits Vieux ASBL will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ohana already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ohana isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Les Petits Vieux ASBL early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ohana and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
