Adopt Baco

English Bulldog · Male · Adult · 4 years

In the prime of my life and then you want something. Here at the animal shelter, I am the friendliest guy you can meet. I am very well-behaved, walk nicely on a leash, fetch my ball, and sit nicely when asked. I am a dog that likes to work one-on-one with my owner. It's clearly noticeable that there is a good basis in me regarding obedience. Also at the animal shelter, I participated in a training session with Dutch Celldogs, and I really found that very enjoyable. For my owner, I am a fantastic dog. After we have had a nice walk and been active, I happily plop down at your feet. I am not completely problem-free. I am actually insecure by nature and in certain situations, I can find certain people who approach us directly stressful. If you as an owner act in such a way that I don't need to worry about it, then there is absolutely nothing wrong. Especially because I clearly indicate when I find a certain situation difficult, which allows you as an owner to easily respond by, for example, asking for my attention so that we can continue our walk happily together. At home, I am a wonderful dog for my owner. I can sleep extremely well and am also quite laid-back. What I do find difficult is a household with multiple people. Something always happens, and everyone who interacts with me differently finds me difficult. Structure, calmness, and routine are what I benefit most from, combined with the right amount of exercise and positive input from my owner. If this picture fits, then I am the most fantastic dog you can imagine, and certainly lovers of my breed/kind know how fun and well... also how stubborn we can be 😉 I am not rehomed with other animals or children. If you are interested in me, my caregivers will gladly receive an email with information about, among other things, your experience with dogs, your living and lifestyle situation, and what your expectations are for your new housemate. You can email to and please also mention your phone number there.

In de bloei van mijn leven en dan wil je wat. Hier in het asiel ben ik de meest gezellige kerel die je kunt treffen. Ik ben heel braaf, loop netjes mee aan de lijn, apporteer mijn balletje en ga netjes zitten als je het vraagt. Ik ben een hond die graag één op één met mijn baas aan de slag is. Er is duidelijk merkbaar dat er een goede basis in mij zit qua gehoorzaamheid. Ook in het asiel heb ik mee gedaan met een training van Dutch Celldogs en dat vond ik echt heel erg leuk. Voor mijn baas ben ik een fantastische hond. Als we zo over de dag lekker gewandeld hebben en actief zijn geweest dan plof ik tevreden neer aan je voeten. Helemaal probleemloos ben ik niet. Ik ben van inborst eigenlijk onzeker en in bepaalde situaties kan ik bijvoorbeeld bepaalde mensen die ons direct benaderen spannend vinden. Als jij je als baas zo opstelt dat ik mij daar dus geen zorgen over hoeft te maken dan is er dus ook helemaal niks aan de hand. Zeker omdat ik heel goed aangeef als ik een bepaalde situatie lastig vindt, waarop jij als baas dus dan ook makkelijk op in kan spelen door bijvoorbeeld even mijn aandacht te vragen zodat we samen vrolijk door kunnen met onze wandeling. In huis ben ik een heerlijke hond voor mijn baas. Ik kan ontzettend lekker slapen en ben dan ook wel op mijn rust gesteld. Wat ik wel lastig vind is een huishouden met meerdere personen. Er gebeurd dan altijd wel wat en iedereen die weer anders met mij omgaat vind ik lastig. Structuur, rust en regelmaat dat is waar ik het meeste baat bij heb in combinatie met de juiste dosis beweging en positieve input van mijn baas. Als dit plaatje klopt dan ben ik de meest fantastische hond die je je maar kunt wensen en zeker liefhebbers van mijn ras/soort weten hoe leuk en tja.. ook hoe eigenwijs wij kunnen zijn 😉 Ik word niet bij andere dieren of kinderen herplaatst. Heeft u interesse in mij? Dan ontvangen mijn verzorgers graag een mail met informatie over onder andere uw ervaring met honden, uw woon en leefsituatie en wat uw verwachting is van uw nieuwe huisgenoot. U kunt mailen naar en vermeld daar ook graag uw telefoonnummer bij.

About Baco

What life with Baco looks like

Baco is a adult english bulldog dog waiting at Dierenasiel Crailo in Hilversum.

An 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 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 Baco, answered.

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