Pablo

Male · Young · 2 years

Pablo is a young dog just two years old with an incredibly friendly and good nature towards people. He is eager to learn and already knows his basic commands, especially when there is something tasty involved. This makes training with food a great way to work with him. Pablo also has a lot of energy and would undoubtedly enjoy a owner who likes to go on adventures with him and can provide him with both physical and mental challenges. Pablo came to us as a stray, but it soon became clear that his story was a lot more complicated. Several people pointed to each other as possible owners, so it was especially important for us to look at what Pablo needs today. And that is still a big challenge. He currently reacts very intensely to other dogs and can be quite difficult to handle during walks. That's why we are looking for experienced owners who are confident and willing to guide him through this. We want walking to be something nice and relaxed for Pablo again, even when there are other dogs around. An experienced home that wants to invest time in training, but also wants to take Pablo on adventures and provide him with enough mental and physical challenges, could make a world of difference for him.

NL·Show original

Pablo is een jonge hond van net twee jaar oud met een ontzettend vriendelijk en goed karakter naar mensen toe. Hij is leergierig en kent zijn basiscommando’s al goed, zeker wanneer er iets lekkers tegenover staat. Dat maakt trainen met voeding een mooie manier om samen met hem verder aan de slag te gaan. Pablo heeft bovendien heel wat energie en zal ongetwijfeld genieten van een baasje dat graag met hem op pad gaat en hem zowel fysiek als mentaal voldoende uitdaging kan bieden. Pablo kwam als vondeling bij ons binnen, maar al snel bleek dat zijn verhaal een stuk ingewikkelder was. Verschillende mensen wezen naar elkaar als mogelijke eigenaar, waardoor het voor ons vooral belangrijk werd om te kijken naar wat Pablo vandaag nodig heeft. En daar ligt nog een flinke uitdaging. Naar andere honden reageert hij momenteel zeer intens en tijdens wandelingen kan hij ronduit moeilijk hanteerbaar zijn. Daarom zoeken we voor Pablo ervaren baasjes die stevig in hun schoenen staan en bereid zijn om hem hierin verder te begeleiden. We willen dat wandelen voor Pablo opnieuw iets fijns en ontspannen wordt, ook wanneer er andere honden in de buurt zijn. Een ervaren thuis die tijd wil investeren in training, maar Pablo daarnaast ook mee wil nemen op avonturen en hem voldoende mentale en fysieke uitdaging kan bieden, zou voor hem een wereld van verschil kunnen maken.

About Pablo

What life with Pablo looks like

Pablo is a young adult dog waiting at Dierenasiel Gent in Gent.

A young 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 Pablo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pablo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel Gent handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pablo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pablo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel Gent 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pablo 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 Pablo 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 Dierenasiel Gent early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pablo 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
