Ollie

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 5 years

Ras: Border Collie Geboortedatum: 02/06/2021 Geslacht: reu Steriel: nee Zindelijk: ja Kan alleen blijven: ja Kan mee in de auto: ja Andere honden: ja Katten: neen Kinderen: neen Hoi iedereen, Maak kennis met Ollie! Ollie is een lieverd voor mensen die zelf rustig van aard zijn. Ollie wordt namelijk snel overprikkeld waardoor bruuske, onverwachte bewegingen en geluiden van bijvoorbeeld kinderen ‘too much’ zijn. Wat van hem is, of wat hij “ervaart” als van hem, ís ook van hem. En dat maakt hij duidelijk op de typische hondenmanier, namelijk door zijn tanden erin te zetten. Ook als dat nu toevallig van jou is. Opruimen en managen is dus de boodschap! Dat is nog de reden waarom we hem niet bij jonge kinderen plaatsen. Ollie vindt het heerlijk om met zijn eigenaar de velden in te trekken, waar hij veilig aan een lange lijn (géén flexi) de ruimte kan benutten om alle laatste nieuwtjes op te snuiven. En na een deugddoende wandeling kan hij languit genieten van een zachte mand in de buurt van zijn familie… Op reis? Joepie! Ollie gaat met plezier mee op korte of langere autoritten en vindt kamperen zalig ! Katten (zowel binnen als buiten) zijn géén optie! Ben jij het avontuurlijke gezin dat deze jongen verder weet uit te dagen? Kan je hem die uitdaging bieden terwijl je ook voor hem de rust, kalmte en structuur bewaakt? Geen (klein-)kinderen in het vooruitzicht? Contacteer ons dan snel !

About Ollie

What life with Ollie looks like

Ollie is a adult border collie dog waiting at vzw Helping Dogs in Belgium.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇧🇪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 Ollie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ollie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. vzw Helping Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ollie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ollie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — vzw Helping Dogs 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 Ollie 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 Ollie 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 vzw Helping Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ollie 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
