Binkie

Male · Adult · 8 years

Hello I am Binky, a uncertain Romanian boy of 7 years old. I have already spent some time in the animal shelter before and had a year to enjoy my own home. Unfortunately I did not get the guidance I actually needed there and the stress became too much. I am a sensitive boy and have difficulty dealing with changes and unexpected events. I can really enjoy a scratch but hugging is not always so pleasant for me. I show this very subtly so a new owner must be willing to take the time to learn to understand me and my subtle dog language. I am not very playful with toys and such, but I like to go for a good walk and walk well on the leash. Off-lead walking is not an option for me because I might run towards people I don't know due to my uncertainty. I can stay alone at home for a while but since I have been in the animal shelter again for a while this might need to be built up again slowly. I am looking for a quiet household without other pets and with a maximum of two adults. Are you interested and above all have time to offer this little fellow a new home? Then send an email with information about among other things your experience with dogs, your living and lifestyle situation and what your expectations are of your new housemate. You can email to and also mention your phone number there so we can contact you to discuss everything about this little fellow.

Hallo ik ben Binkie, een onzekere Roemeense knul van inmiddels 8 jaar oud. Ik heb al eens eerder een poos in het asiel gezeten en heb een jaartje kunnen genieten van mijn eigen thuis. Helaas kreeg ik daar niet helemaal de begeleiding die ik eigenlijk nodig heb en werd de spanning me te veel. Ik ben een gevoelige jongen en kan lastig omgaan met veranderingen en onverwachte gebeurtenissen. Ik kan erg genieten van een aai maar echt knuffelen vind ik niet altijd even leuk. Dit laat ik maar heel subtiel zien dus een nieuwe eigenaar moet de tijd willen nemen om mij en mijn subtiele hondentaal te leren begrijpen. Ik ben niet heel speels met speelgoed en dergelijke, maar ik ga graag lekker een flink stuk wandelen en loop braaf mee aan de riem. Los lopen is voor mij geen optie omdat ik uit onzekerheid uit kan vallen naar mensen die ik niet ken. Ik kan prima eventjes alleen thuis blijven maar omdat ik al weer een poosje in het asiel zit moet dit misschien weer rustig opgebouwd worden. Ik zoek een rustig huishouden zonder andere huisdieren en met maximaal twee volwassenen. Heeft u interesse en vooral tijd om deze kanjer een nieuw huis te bieden? Stuur dan 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 zodat wij contact met u op kunnen nemen om alles over deze kanjer te bespreken.

About Binkie

What life with Binkie looks like

Binkie is an adult 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 Binkie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Binkie?: 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 Binkie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Binkie 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Binkie 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 Binkie 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 Binkie 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.
