How do I contact the shelter about ONYX?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Help Animals handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ONYX on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ONYX if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Help Animals 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 ONYX 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 ONYX 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 Help Animals early rather than rehoming privately; they know ONYX 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.

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 7 years

Abandoned: 13/04/2026 Race: Crossbred Border Collie Sex: Male Microchip: 981100004637886 Born: 17/03/2019 Country: Belgium At the shelter since: 13/04/2026 ONYX, a heartwarming and energetic companion looking for his family...Onyx is a charming male crossbred Border Collie who just wants to share his zest for life with a loving family. Gentle, affectionate, and dynamic, he has everything it takes to melt the hearts of those who take the time to get to know him. His personality and qualities: Onyx is a very social and friendly dog who deeply appreciates human presence. He loves interactions, playtime, and cuddles, and will show himself to be close to his adopters. His dynamic temperament makes him an ideal companion for people who love to move, go for walks, and share activities with their dog. He is not always at ease with children. He tends to react to children in motion during walks. He tolerates solitude fairly well, which is a real plus for a balanced daily life. Car trips do not pose any problem for him. His needs: Onyx will need a yard to thrive fully: he cannot live in an apartment. Like many Border Collie-type dogs, he needs stimulation, attention, and a warm presence to be happy. Certain aspects will remain to be discovered over time, particularly his cleanliness and his relationships with cats and other dogs. These aspects can be worked on and evaluated with gentleness and support. The ideal profile of his future adopters: Onyx will be happy with active people with a yard, ready to give him time, affection, and daily interactions. A family or adopters sensitive to his need for connection and willing to invest in the relationship will be perfect for him. Onyx is just waiting for you to write a new chapter in his life. If his adorable face and charming personality touch you, don't hesitate to contact us only by telephone at 02/523.44.16. We will be delighted to exchange with you and accompany you in this beautiful adoption journey.
