Adopt THOR

English Bulldog · Male

THOR, in contrast to what the name suggests, is absolutely not a thundercloud but a cute dog with a big personality factor! More like a sunshine in the house. THOR has been surrendered due to family issues and the people unfortunately can no longer take proper care of him. He is a easy dog to go for a walk with, of course, he also has his own character. So he knows what he wants. There's a bit of spunk in him. We are still looking for a new home for him where no other animals are present. According to the previous owners, he doesn't like other dogs. And a little garden to let off some energy would be great. ZINDELIJK: yes WAGENZIEK : no KINDEREN : yes HONDEN : no KATTEN : no ANDERE DIEREN :

Thor , in tegenstelling tot wat de naam zegt, is absoluut geen donderwolk maar een grappig hondje met een groot aaibaarheidsfactor! Eerder een zonnetje in huis. Thor is afgestaan omdat er familiale problemen zijn en de mensen er helaas niet meer goed voor kunnen zorgen. Het is een gemakkelijke hond om mee te gaan wandelen maar natuurlijk heeft hij ook zijn eigen karakter. Dus hij weet wat hij wil. Er zit pit in. We zoeken toch wel een nieuwe thuis voor hem waar geen andere dieren aanwezig zijn. Volgens de vorige eigenaars houdt hij niet van andere honden. En een tuintje om zijn energie kwijt te kunnen zou heel fijn zijn. ZINDELIJK: ja WAGENZIEK : nee KINDEREN : ja HONDEN : neen KATTEN : neen ANDERE DIEREN : onbekend

About THOR

What life with THOR looks like

THOR is a large adult english bulldog dog waiting at Dierenwereldkruis VZW in Bornem.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 THOR, answered.

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