TIM

Male · Young · 2 years

TIM Date of birth: 01/01/2024 Height: 69 cm Weight: 32 kg Microchipped, vaccinated, treated against parasites, and neutered. A cross between a Shepherd and a Golden Retriever. Tim is an exceptionally sweet, gentle, and affectionate dog with no trace of aggression. He combines the beauty and softness of a Golden Retriever with the intelligence, loyalty, and attentiveness of a Shepherd. He is a big cuddly teddy bear with a warm heart who greatly enjoys human contact. Tim gets along well with other dogs. In a new environment he may be a little unsure or cautious at first, but once he senses he is safe, he adapts quickly. Then he shows his true character: calm, friendly, and incredibly grateful. Tim was found on the street, and unfortunately we do not know exactly what happened to him. Perhaps he was lost, perhaps he escaped somewhere, but no one came looking for him. Volunteers took him off the street and brought him to a private shelter, where he received all the necessary care and safety. Now, under the guidance of our foundation, we have decided to give him the chance to finally find his own warm home and a loving family. Tim is about two years old. He is in good health, has healthy teeth, and has no known medical problems. He loves people and gets along well with children from about seven years old. With smaller children, his size can sometimes make him a bit clumsy. He does not guard his food and has a stable, balanced temperament. At the shelter, Tim is given porridge with meat, but we are gradually switching him to super-premium dry food. Tim fits into almost any family willing to give him love, attention, and some patience during the adjustment period. In return, you get a loyal, gentle, and sincere friend for life. Take a good look at this big teddy bear — perhaps he is exactly the dog you have been searching for for so long. Tim finally deserves a home of his own and people who will never abandon him again. The adoption fee is €450 (partly covering transport costs, vaccines, passport, and electronic microchip).

TIM TimGeboortedatum: 01/01/2024Hoogte: 69 cm Gewicht: 32 kg Gechipt, gevaccineerd, behandeld tegen parasieten en gecastreerd.Kruising tussen een herder en een golden retriever. Tim is een buitengewoon lieve, zachte en aanhankelijke hond zonder enige vorm van agressie. In hem komen de schoonheid en zachtheid van een golden retriever samen met de intelligentie, trouw en oplettendheid van een herder. Hij is een grote knuffelbeer met een warm hart, die enorm geniet van menselijk contact. Met andere honden gaat Tim goed om. In een nieuwe omgeving kan hij in het begin wat onzeker of voorzichtig zijn, maar zodra hij merkt dat hij veilig is, past hij zich snel aan. Dan laat hij zijn echte karakter zien: rustig, vriendelijk en ontzettend dankbaar. Tim werd op straat gevonden en we weten helaas niet wat er precies met hem gebeurd is. Misschien was hij verdwaald, misschien is hij ergens ontsnapt, maar niemand kwam hem zoeken. Vrijwilligers hebben hem van straat gehaald en naar een privéopvang gebracht, waar hij alle nodige zorg en veiligheid kreeg. Nu hebben wij besloten hem onder begeleiding van onze stichting de kans te geven om eindelijk zijn eigen warme thuis en een liefdevolle familie te vinden. Tim is ongeveer twee jaar oud. Hij heeft een goede gezondheid, mooie tanden en geen bekende medische problemen. Hij houdt van mensen en gaat goed om met kinderen vanaf ongeveer zeven jaar. Bij kleinere kinderen kan hij door zijn formaat soms wat onhandig zijn. Hij bewaakt zijn voer niet en heeft een stabiel en evenwichtig karakter. In de opvang krijgt Tim pap met vlees, maar we schakelen hem geleidelijk over op droogvoer van superpremiumkwaliteit. Tim past in vrijwel ieder gezin dat bereid is hem liefde, aandacht en wat geduld tijdens de aanpassingsperiode te geven. In ruil daarvoor krijg je een trouwe, zachte en oprechte vriend voor het leven. Kijk eens goed naar deze grote knuffelbeer — misschien is hij precies de hond waar jullie al zo lang naar zoeken. Tim verdient eindelijk een eigen thuis en mensen die hem nooit meer in de steek laten. De adoptie kosten bedragen €450 (een deel van vervoerkosten, vaccins, paspoort, elektronische chip).

What life with TIM looks like

TIM is a large young adult dog waiting at Furever Home in Belgium.

A young 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 TIM, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TIM?

Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Furever Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw TIM on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt TIM 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 Furever Home whether they will for TIM, 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 TIM already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Furever Home lists TIM as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Furever Home, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.

What happens if TIM isn't the right fit?

Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Furever Home about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know TIM 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.
