About Poche
What life with Poche looks like
Poche is a adult chihuahua dog waiting at Dierenasiel Schoten in Schoten.
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" β quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β to let them settle.
π§πͺAdopting 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 Poche, answered.
- How do I contact the shelter about Poche?
- Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel Schoten handles screening and the adoption contract directly β TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Poche on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
- Can I adopt Poche if I live in another country?
- Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β Dierenasiel Schoten 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 β¬100ββ¬350 in transport costs depending on distance.
- Is Poche 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 β ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
- What happens if Poche isn't the right fit?
- Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dierenasiel Schoten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Poche 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 β 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.
