How do I contact the shelter about Blas?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. description handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Blas on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Blas if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — description 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 Blas 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 Blas 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 description early rather than rehoming privately; they know Blas 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.

Blas

Podenco · Male · Young · 2 years

S.P.A.P. Kimba Shelter Input 20 October 2025: Blas lived on the street for a while. Many people tried to save him, but he was very shy and ran away. He was very afraid of people. When we finally caught him and he came to Kimba, he was afraid of people for the first few days. But it did not take long before he calmed down and learned that hands can be kind as well as hurt. Nowadays he likes being with people, he is curious and wants to be petted. He gets along well with other dogs and is friendly. At Kimba he is with many dogs during the day and enjoys playing and running around. He is friendly to everyone. I was there with my son and he has no problems with children, but like any dog, they need to learn to respect boundaries. Blas is healthy, all tests were negative. He walks nicely on a leash.

S.P.A.P. Refugio Kimba 11 mei 2026: geadopteerd via het asiel. Input 20 oktober 2025: Blas leefde een tijdje op straat. Veel mensen probeerden hem te redden, maar hij was erg schuw en rende weg. Hij was erg bang voor mensen. Toen wij hem uiteindelijk konden vangen en hij bij Kimba kwam, was hij de eerste paar dagen erg bang voor mensen. Maar het duurde niet lang voordat hij kalmeerde en leerde dat handen niet alleen pijn doen, maar ook lief kunnen zijn. Tegenwoordig is hij graag bij mensen, is hij nieuwsgierig en wil hij geaaid worden. Hij is erg goed met andere honden en vriendelijk. Bij Kimba is hij overdag bij veel honden en houdt hij ervan om te ravotten en te spelen. Hij is vriendelijk tegen iedereen. Ik was er met mijn zoontje en hij heeft geen problemen met kinderen, maar zoals met elke hond moeten ze leren grenzen te respecteren. Blas is gezond, alle testen waren negatief. Hij loopt netjes aan de lijn.

About Blas

What life with Blas looks like

Blas is a medium-sized young adult podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

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.
