Alfie

Male · Young · 1 year

Alfie, neutered tomcat, 6 months, about 45 cm, abroad. Background Alfie and his brother were found by our contact person on a cold December evening in a ditch along a path. They were very young and lay close together to keep each other warm. Since they had no chance of survival and it was also New Year's Eve with a lot of fireworks, our contact person took them with her. Since then, Alfie has been waiting in her private shelter for his 'forever home'. Temperament. Alfie is a sweet, cheerful pup who loves to run and play. He is friendly towards people and other dogs. He enjoys being cuddled and getting treats. Who will give this nice young boy a wonderful future in the Netherlands?

Alfie, gecastreerd reutje, 7 maand, wordt ca. 45 cm, buitenland. Achtergrond Alfie en zijn broertje werden door onze contactpersoon op een koude december avond gevonden in een greppel langs een weggetje. Ze waren nog heel jong en lagen dicht tegen elkaar om elkaar warm te houden. Omdat zij geen enkele kans op overleven hadden en het bovendien bijna oud en nieuw was met veel vuurwerk, heeft onze contactpersoon ze meegenomen. Sindsdien wacht Alfie in haar privé opvang op zijn ‘forever home’. Karakter. Alfie is een lieve, vrolijke pup die het heerlijk vindt om te rennen en te spelen. Hij is sociaal naar andere mensen en honden. Hij vindt het heerlijk om geknuffeld te worden en snoepjes te krijgen. Wie geeft deze mooie jongen een heerlijke toekomst in Nederland?

About Alfie

What life with Alfie looks like

Alfie is a large young adult dog waiting at Stichting AAI in Amsterdam.

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.

🇳🇱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 Alfie, answered.

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