How do I contact the shelter about Tyson?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel Genk handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tyson on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tyson if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel Genk 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 Tyson 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 Tyson 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 Dierenasiel Genk early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tyson 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.

Tyson

Border Collie · Male · Senior · 14 years

Tyson is a 08-02-2025-born Border Collie mix. He can get along with other dogs (female) and cats (unknown). He is not suitable for an apartment and needs a house with a garden. He is okay with children (14+). The animal police visited his home several times, imposing conditions that his owners did not follow. Eventually, Tyson was taken into custody. This dog is full of life. His motto is to be active, but he needs to find some peace. He is always on the go, so a good balance between challenge and rest is very important for Tyson. He enjoys working, hangs on your words to work together, and his nose works very well: the snuffle mat is expertly robbed, but the real challenge for Tyson is commands, agility, or dog sports. Tyson is friendly to people, loves to walk, and is friendly to all caregivers. Even the vet is greeted kindly and he is medically fine. For active people, Tyson is an ideal companion. People familiar with Border Collies will recognize a lot in Tyson. We are looking for a home with a garden for this active dog with people looking for an active dog. Children from 14 years old are possible for Tyson. Are you interested in Tyson? Fill out our questionnaire on the website or send an email.

Ras: kruising Border Collie Leeftijd: 08-02-2025 Kan met andere honden: ja, stabiele teef Kan met katten: ? Kan op een appartement: nee, een huis met een tuin Kan met kinderen: ja, 14+ De dierenpolitie was al enkele keren aan huis gegaan. Er werden herhaaldelijk voorwaarden opgelegd, maar zijn eigenaren hielden zich hier niet aan. Uiteindelijk verbleef Tyson in een vuil waskot, zonder eten en drinken. Dit was de spreekwoordelijke druppel: Tyson werd in beslag genomen. Deze man zit vol levensvreugde. Actief bezig zijn is zijn motto, waarin er nog wat werk aan het vinden van rust is. Hij staat veel ‘aan’, dus een mooie balans tussen uitdaging en rust is voor Tyson heel belangrijk. Hij werkt graag, hangt aan je lippen om samen te werken en zijn neus werkt heel goed: de snuffelmat wordt vakkundig leeggeroofd, maar de echte uitdaging zit hem voor Tyson in commando’s, agility of hondensport. Tyson is sociaal naar mensen, wandelt graag en is vriendelijk naar alle verzorgers. Zelfs de dierenarts wordt vriendelijk begroet en hij is medisch ook helemaal in orde. Voor actieve mensen is Tyson een ideale kameraad. Mensen die bekend zijn met border collies, zullen in Tyson veel herkennen. We zoeken voor deze actieve man een huis met een tuin bij mensen die op zoek zijn naar een actieve hond. Kinderen vanaf 14 jaar behoren tot de mogelijkheden voor Tyson. Heb je interesse in Tyson?

About Tyson

What life with Tyson looks like

Tyson is a senior border collie dog waiting at Dierenasiel Genk in Genk.

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.
