Adoptiepagina: Pablo

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 9 years

Hello everyone, I'm Pablo! A Stafford of almost 10 years old, and the caretakers here also affectionately call me 'the big round giant'. With my 40 kilos, I might still lose some weight in the future, but that doesn't take away from my enormous charm! When it comes to people, I'm a true all-around friend. I thoroughly enjoy attention and a nice scratch on my belly. As for other dogs, I react differently. According to my previous owner, I was always social with my kind, but here at the animal shelter, the caretakers find it difficult to judge that at the moment. At home, I'm a quiet and loving dog. I can stay alone at home for a few hours and then I'm very relaxed. However, I must honestly say that the stay in the animal shelter is becoming harder for me. I'd rather just be among people. Walking is no longer my favorite activity; I'd rather roam around the courtyard or lie cozily by the staff at their desks. Your future masters must be okay with the fact that I'm not a dog for long hikes anymore. A quiet, shorter walk is more than enough for me. When I arrived, I had a lot of itching and my eyes and paws were swollen. Fortunately, the caretakers put me on hypoallergenic food, which has completely eliminated my itching and made my skin look beautiful and calm. Only my paws are still a little swollen, so they still need some attention. It's important that I continue to eat this hypoallergenic food for the rest of my life. Currently, they are still washing my paws with a special shampoo, and they are looking into whether this will be necessary in the long term. Due to my age and size, X-rays were also taken of me. From this, it became clear that I have some mild signs of aging in my back and shoulders. This is fortunately minimal and fits well with my age and current weight. To ensure that I feel comfortable, I'm currently given a pain-relieving tablet every day. All in all, I'm an amazing, quiet senior looking for a warm home for my golden years. A soft bed, some attention, a quiet walk, and lots of coziness; that's really all I need as a big softie. Who gives me the chance to leave my shelter life behind and again be a beloved part of a loving family? Fill out the intake form below and who knows, you might be starting a new chapter with me soon! Before you bring a dog into your home, we're curious to know what comes with it. Read through by using this LICG pet biolimiter. Do you have any more questions? We're happy to answer them.

Hallo allemaal, ik ben Pablo! Een Stafford van bijna 10 jaar oud en de verzorgers hier noemen mij ook wel liefkozend ‘de grote ronde reus’. Met mijn 40 kilo mag er in de toekomst nog wel wat gewicht af, maar dat doet natuurlijk niets af aan mijn enorme charme! Als het om mensen gaat, ben ik een echte allemansvriend. Ik geniet volop van aandacht en een fijne kriebel op mijn bol. Naar andere honden reageer ik wisselend. Volgens mijn vorige eigenaar was ik altijd sociaal met soortgenoten, maar hier in het asiel vinden de verzorgers dat op dit moment lastig te beoordelen. In huis ben ik een rustige en lieve hond. Ik kan prima een aantal uurtjes alleen thuis blijven en stel me dan heel ontspannen op. Wel moet ik eerlijk zeggen dat het verblijf in het asiel me steeds zwaarder begint te vallen. Ik ben het liefst gewoon onder de mensen. Wandelen is alleen niet meer mijn favoriete bezigheid; het liefst scharrel ik wat rond op de binnenplaats of lig ik gezellig bij de medewerkers op kantoor. Mijn toekomstige baasjes moeten er dan ook oké mee zijn dat ik geen hond meer ben voor urenlange boswandelingen. Een rustig, korter rondje is voor mij méér dan genoeg. Toen ik binnenkwam, had ik veel last van jeuk en waren mijn ogen en pootjes opgezet. Gelukkig hebben de verzorgers me op hypoallergene voeding gezet, waardoor mijn jeuk helemaal is verdwenen en mijn huid weer mooi rustig is. Alleen mijn pootjes zijn nog licht gezwollen, dus dat blijft wel wat aandacht nodig hebben. Het is belangrijk dat ik deze hypoallergene brokken de rest van mijn leven blijf eten. Momenteel wassen ze mijn pootjes nog met een speciale shampoo, en er wordt nog gekeken of dit op de lange termijn nodig blijft. Vanwege mijn leeftijd en formaat zijn er ook röntgenfoto’s van mij gemaakt. Hieruit bleek dat ik wat lichte ouderdomsverschijnselen heb in mijn rug en schouders. Dit is gelukkig minimaal en past goed bij mijn leeftijd en huidige gewicht. Om te zorgen dat ik me lekker comfortabel voel, krijg ik momenteel elke dag een pijnstillingstabletje. Al met al ben ik een ontzettend lieve, rustige senior die op zoek is naar een warm thuis voor mijn gouden jaren. Een zachte mand, wat aandacht, een rustig wandelingetje en vooral veel gezelligheid; meer heb ik als grote goedzak eigenlijk niet nodig. Wie geeft mij de kans om mijn asielleven achter me te laten en weer lekker deel uit te maken van een liefdevol gezin? Vul dan onderstaand intakeformulier in en wie weet kunnen jullie binnenkort van start! Voor je een hond in huis haalt zijn wij benieuwd of je weet wat er allemaal bij komt kijken. Lees je in door middel van deze LICG huisdierenbijsluiter. Heb je daarna nog vragen? Wij beantwoorden ze graag.

About Adoptiepagina: Pablo

What life with Adoptiepagina: Pablo looks like

Adoptiepagina: Pablo is a medium-sized senior american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at ROZE Eindhoven in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Adoptiepagina: Pablo, answered.

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