Beethoven

Male · Senior · 9 years

First love at first sight… do you believe in it? Well, it has happened to us. What a lovely little fellow is Beethoven. Besides, he is super-friendly, sociable, and playful. He is happy with very little. He likes to play with other puppies and is also very friendly towards them as well as us. How can it be that these puppies end up in an animal shelter in Poland? We simply cannot understand it. But well, our little brave Beethoven found it quite alright there and packed his bag and came to the Netherlands. Of course, we welcomed him with open arms, and it is also quite difficult to let him go. But we also give him a loving owner where he gets plenty of attention and where he is very much loved. Beethoven is just 6 years old, so he still has many years ahead of him. He has a beautiful coat, half-long, very soft, and a truly expressive head. If you don’t fall for that… come and meet this nice guy? Call: 06-50800245 or fill out the form:

Liefde op het eerste gezicht…geloven je daarin. Nou het is ons overkomen. Wat een heerlijk ventje is die Beethoven. Daarnaast is hij supervriendelijk, gezellig en speels. Hij is blij met heel weinig. Hij speelt graag met andere hondjes en is ook heel vriendelijk naar hun net als naar ons. Hoe kan het dat in Polen deze hondjes in een asiel terecht komen, dat kunnen we gewoon niet begrijpen. Maar goed, onze kleine stoere Beethoven vond het wel welletjes daar en heeft zijn koffertje gepakt en is naar Nederland gekomen. Uiteraard hebben wij hem met open armen ontvangen en het is ook best lastig om hem weer te laten gaan. Maar ook hem gunnen we een lieve baas waar hij lekker aandacht krijgt en waar er heel veel van hem gehouden wordt. Beethoven is net 6 jaar oud, dus heeft hij nog heel wat jaren voor de boeg. Hij heeft een prachtige vacht, iets halflang, heel zacht en een werkelijk geweldig expressief koppie. Als je daar niet voor valt….. Kom je kennismaken met deze leukerd?

About Beethoven

What life with Beethoven looks like

Beethoven is a small senior dog waiting at Stichting Huis voor Dieren in Netherlands.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇳🇱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 Beethoven, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Beethoven?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Huis voor Dieren handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Beethoven on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Beethoven if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Huis voor Dieren 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Beethoven 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 Beethoven 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 Huis voor Dieren early rather than rehoming privately; they know Beethoven 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.
