Rosy

Female · Young · 3 years

Vanaf de eerste blik op Rosy is het duidelijk : zij is een echte Chow Chow, met die iconische, zwarte tong. ​ Ook haar karakter is die van een Chow Chow: ze is een rustige hond, die zelden blaft, maar af en toe schattig ronkt als een goed draaiende motor. Ze is sociaal met mensen (inclusief kinderen) en andere dieren (inclusief katten). Ze rijdt vlotjes mee met de auto en wandelt braaf aan de leiband. In tegenstelling tot katten, is ze gek op water en in bad gaan. Dat is mooi meegenomen, want haar prachtige dikke vacht heeft regelmatig verzorging nodig. En daar geniet ze dus volop van. Rosy heeft leishmania. Dat houdt in dat ze om het (half)jaar een bloedtest moet ondergaan om na te gaan of de infectie actief is. Als dat het geval is, dan moet ze een tijdje allopurinolpilletjes nemen. Dat beïnvloedt haar vrolijkheid en levenskwaliteit geenszins.

About Rosy

What life with Rosy looks like

Rosy is a young adult dog waiting at SOS Zwerfhonden in Kruisem.

An 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 Rosy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rosy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SOS Zwerfhonden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rosy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rosy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SOS Zwerfhonden 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 Rosy 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 Rosy 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 SOS Zwerfhonden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rosy 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
