Balou ♂ pup

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Little Balou was thrown out on the streets in Bosnia with two other puppies and their mother Octavia. A cruel man took them but beat them and didn't care for them. Luckily, we were able to take them in. Balou is now with his family in a foster home in the Netherlands. He is very sweet and still trusts humans, but he finds everything very exciting. Balou can get along with other dogs and cats. He was born in October 2025 and is a medium-sized dog (knee height). He has been vaccinated, chipped, and dewormed and can be admired in a foster home in Wilhelminaoord.

About Balou ♂ pup

What life with Balou ♂ pup looks like

Balou ♂ pup is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at stichting Idemo in Netherlands.

An young 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 Balou ♂ pup, answered.

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