Bak

Mixed Breed · Male · 11 months

Arme Bak bracht vrijwel zijn hele jeugd door aan een ketting van amper 1 meter lang. Nul bewegingsvrijheid dus…Onze rescuer greep in. Wat een geluk voor hem, want zulke grote honden worden niet snel geholpen. Het is gewoonweg ook lastige om hier een thuis voor te vinden. Bak is zeer waarschijnlijk een sharpalanic mix en heeft dus wel een ervaren hand nodig. Normaal gesproken zijn het waakse types. Ook wat ruimte is wel een vereiste. Nu Bak in de shelter verblijft gaat het heel erg goed met hem. Hij heeft nog wat ondergewicht, maar daar wordt aan gewerkt. Hij is erg sociaal met andere honden, ondanks dat hij daar zijn leven lang weinig tot geen contact mee heeft gehad. Ook met katten is het geen enkel probleem. Hij geniet nu in elk geval van de vrijheid, die hij eerder niet kende. We hopen dat we hem gauw een warm thuis kunnen bieden.

About Bak

What life with Bak looks like

Bak is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Dogs on a Journey in Netherlands.

An 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 Bak, answered.

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