Stan Optie

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Chihuahua (reu) Stan is een ontzettend lieve en aanhankelijke chihuahuaman. Door de ziekte van zijn baasje moet hij helaas opnieuw op zoek naar een nieuwe thuis. Het is al de tweede keer dat Stan zijn vertrouwde omgeving moet achterlaten en opnieuw moet beginnen. Stan geniet volop van knuffels, komt heel graag op schoot zitten en volgt zijn vertrouwde mensen het liefst overal. Hij houdt van gezelschap en is het gelukkigst wanneer hij dicht bij zijn mensen mag zijn. Ook gaat hij heel graag mee op wandeling. Stan kan goed overweg met andere honden. Hij leefde voorheen samen met een kind van zeven jaar. Voor hem zoeken we een thuis zonder kleine kinderen, maar respectvolle kinderen die begrijpen wanneer een hond rust nodig heeft, zijn zeker mogelijk. Het is belangrijk dat Stan tijdens het eten met rust wordt gelaten. Of Stan met katten kan samenleven, is momenteel niet gekend. Een warme en stabiele thuis waar Stan opnieuw liefde, rust en geborgenheid mag vinden. Hij zoekt mensen die hem veel aandacht willen geven, graag met hem wandelen en zijn grenzen respecteren. Omdat Stan nu voor de tweede keer op zoek moet naar een nieuwe thuis, hopen we dat zijn volgende plekje ook echt zijn definitieve thuis wordt. Een plek waar hij zich veilig en geliefd mag voelen en waar hij voor altijd kan blijven. Wie geeft deze lieve jongen eindelijk de vaste thuis die hij zo verdient? Stan moet tijdens het eten met rust worden gelaten.

About Stan Optie

What life with Stan Optie looks like

Stan Optie is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at VZW The Lucky Stars in Belgium.

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" — 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 Stan Optie, answered.

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