Snatch

Belgian Malinois · Male · Senior · 10 years

Dogs listed as needing rescue have an even more urgent need to find a family. This can be due to their age, a specific health issue, or distress at the shelter. Snatch arrived at the shelter following an authority-ordered seizure. He lived with 18 other dogs in an unsanitary living space, where hygiene and living conditions were no longer acceptable. At the shelter, Snatch can appear imposing in his cage, but he hides his true nature well. Once removed from this environment and made comfortable, he turns out to be a very charming, friendly dog, sociable with humans. Like any dog, he has his preferences, and certain people may appeal to him more than others. Snatch also turns out to be a very food-oriented dog (watch out for fingers! Although, with age, he has fewer teeth). He also benefits from a specially adapted diet due to digestive sensitivities. Despite his past, Snatch remains an affectionate, cuddly, and still playful dog. He is also a Malinois who loves learning and being stimulated: he will enjoy activities that allow him to think and work with his human.

Les chiens signalés en « sauvetage » ont un besoin encore plus urgent de trouver une famille. Cela peut être lié à leur âge, une pathologie particulière ou un mal-être au refuge. Snatch est arrivé au refuge à la suite d’une saisie. Il vivait avec 18 autres chiens dans un logement insalubre, où l’hygiène et les conditions de vie n’étaient plus acceptables. Au refuge, Snatch peut se montrer impressionnant en cage, mais il cache bien son jeu. Une fois sorti de cet environnement et mis en confiance, il se révèle être un chien très chouette, sociable avec l’humain. Comme tout chien, il a ses préférences, et certaines personnes lui reviennent moins que d’autres. Snatch se révèle etre aussi un chien très gourmand (attention aux doigts ! Même si, avec l’âge, il a de moins en moins de dents). Il bénéficie également d’un régime alimentaire adapté en raison de sensibilités digestives. Malgré son passé, Snatch reste un chien affectueux, câlin et encore joueur. C’est aussi un malinois qui aime apprendre et être stimulé : il appréciera les activités qui lui permettent de réfléchir et de travailler avec son humain.

About Snatch

What life with Snatch looks like

Snatch is a senior belgian malinois dog waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Snatch, answered.

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