Toby

Male · Young · 3 years

Toby, 3 ans, est un croisé épagneul né en Albanie, plein de vie, joyeux, sûr de lui et très curieux. C’est un chien bien dans ses pattes, avec un vrai petit caractère et beaucoup d’humour. Son besoin principal est d’avoir beaucoup accès à l’extérieur : il adore passer ses journées dans le jardin, même lorsqu’il pleut. Il a surtout besoin d’explorer, de renifler et de découvrir son environnement. Ce n’est pas un grand sportif qui a besoin de courir pendant des heures, mais son instinct de chasse est très présent et il aime particulièrement suivre les odeurs. Toby est sociable avec les autres chiens en extérieur, néanmoins il peut faire de la protection de territoire lorsqu’un chien entre chez lui. Il n’est pas compatible avec les chats. Avec les humains, il est très sociable tout en restant indépendant. Il est très doux avec les enfants. Toby est également atteint de la maladie d’Addison, qui nécessite un traitement à vie. Il vit cependant très bien avec cette maladie et son traitement représente environ 20 € par mois. Nous recherchons donc pour lui une famille consciente de ses besoins, qui pourra lui offrir un environnement avec un accès important à l’extérieur, sans chats, et qui appréciera son côté unique et explorateur. Toby a besoin d’une famille qui acceptera de le laisser être pleinement lui-même : un petit personnage joyeux, confiant et attachant à sa manière. 🐾

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a young adult dog waiting at HumanIma ASBL in Ottignies (Brabant Wallon).

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 Toby, answered.

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