Honden ter adoptie

Male · Young · 2 years

This is Albus. Albus is a male dog with an estimated birthdate of September 2024. He weighs approximately 30–35 kg and has a withers height of about 60–65 cm. Right now, Albus is living with his owner in Vleuten. Unfortunately, she cannot offer him what he needs, so we are looking for a new place where Albus can be more himself. Albus is a kind and cheerful dog. He enjoys playing, eagerly chases balls, and finds treasure hunts absolutely great. He likes people, but he needs some time to get used to new people. When people initially ignore him, his curiosity quickly takes over and he comes forward on his own. Walking on a leash is difficult for Albus and he actually doesn't want to do it. Being alone at home is also hard for him; a short period is okay, but multiple hours are still too much for him. What are we looking for for Albus? 🏡 A house with possibly another dog-friendly companion 🌿 A nice garden where he can run around happily 🐕 A place where long walks are not necessary, but where he can just be a normal dog. Albus can live with children and also with cats, as long as the cat is not easily impressed by dogs.

Dit is Albus. Albus is een reu met een geschatte geboortedatum van september 2024. Hij weegt ongeveer 30–35 kg en heeft een schofthoogte van ongeveer 60–65 cm. Ruim een jaar geleden is Albus geadopteerd. Helaas waren Albus en zijn vorige baasje geen match, ze kon hem niet bieden wat hij nodig had. Albus is bij ons terug gekomen in onze opvang waar hij veel meer zich zelf kan zijn. Hij is dus ook enorm gegroeid en doet het hier heel goed. Albus is een lieve en vrolijke hond. Hij speelt graag, rent enthousiast achter balletjes aan en vindt zoekspelletjes helemaal geweldig. Mensen vindt hij leuk, maar hij moet wel even de tijd krijgen om aan nieuwe mensen te wennen. Wanneer mensen hem in het begin wat negeren, wint zijn nieuwsgierigheid het al snel en komt hij vanzelf kennismaken. Aan de riem lopen vindt Albus lastig en dat wil hij eigenlijk niet. Dat gaan we hier nog met hem oefenen. We zijn er van overtuigd dat hij dit kan leren. Alleen thuis blijven gaat hier heel goed, maar hij heeft hier wel andere hondenmaatjes om zich heen en is dus nooit echt alleen. Wat zoeken we voor Albus? 🏡 Een huis met bij voorkeur een andere hondenvriend 🌿 Een fijne tuin waar hij lekker kan ravotten 🐕 Een plek waar lange wandelingen niet noodzakelijk zijn, maar waar hij gewoon lekker hond mag zijn Albus kan samenleven met kinderen en ook met katten, zolang de kat niet snel onder de indruk is van honden.

About Honden ter adoptie

What life with Honden ter adoptie looks like

Honden ter adoptie is a large young adult dog waiting at SOS Dogs Nederland in NN Didam.

An 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.

Note from the shelter: Separation anxiety, leash training issues, needs gradual socialization with new people

🇳🇱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 Honden ter adoptie, answered.

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