Robin

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 16 years

Tragic story of Robin. His owner was found dying and eventually passed away at the hospital. Robin as well as the 2 cats had not been fed for several days. It's a lovely little dog, full of energy who, without a doubt, will enjoy his retirement and bring some good cheer!

FR·Show original

Triste histoire que celle de Robin. Son maître a été retrouvé agonisant et est finalement décédé à l’hopital. Robin ainsi que les 2 chats n’avaient plus été nourris depuis plusieurs jours. C’est un chouette petit chien, monté sur ressort qui, sans aucun doute, va profiter de sa retraite et amener de la bonne humeur !

About Robin

What life with Robin looks like

Robin is a small senior yorkshire terrier 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). Shelters often include microchipping, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract, but confirm with the shelter what is covered. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Robin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Robin?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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 Robin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Robin if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Les Petits Vieux ASBL whether they will for Robin, what they require (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 Robin already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Robin. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Les Petits Vieux ASBL, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Robin isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Les Petits Vieux ASBL about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Robin 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.
