Blitz

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Hoi, I'm Blitz! A 10-year-old Boomer, although you might not think so at first glance. I ended up at Dierentehuis De Mère because my owner could no longer care for me due to health reasons. It was sad, of course, but I hope to find a new place where I can enjoy my golden years. I must admit, I don't always look very cheerful. My face naturally looks a bit grumpy, but don't let that fool you! Behind that somewhat angry face is the sweetest and most adorable dog you'll ever meet. A real little charmer! When I arrived here, I needed some extra care. My ears were infected, but fortunately, I received treatment. However, I still need to use my ear spray (Virbac Cortotic) twice a week. My skin and coat also needed some attention, so I'm on Royal Canin Anallergenic food and must continue eating it. I get along well with other dogs. Cats and children are just not my thing. So I'm looking for a quiet home where I can be myself and where my care is well taken care of. Are you looking for a sweet, cozy dog that might look like he's having a bad day, but will steal your heart? Then I might just be your new housemate! I don't need a big adventure anymore, just a cozy bed, loving people, and lots of cuddles. Is there a spot for my little, somewhat grumpy face? ❤️

Hoi, ik ben Blitz! Een Boomer van 10 jaar oud, al zou je dat misschien niet meteen zeggen als je mij ziet. Ik ben bij Dierentehuis De Mère terechtgekomen omdat mijn baasje door gezondheidsredenen helaas niet meer voor mij kon zorgen. Dat was natuurlijk verdrietig, maar ik hoop nu een nieuw plekje te vinden waar ik mijn oude dagjes nog heerlijk mag doorbrengen. Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik niet altijd even vrolijk kijk. Mijn snoetje staat van nature een beetje op standje chagrijnig, maar laat je daardoor niet voor de gek houden! Achter dat ietwat boze koppie zit namelijk het allerliefste en schattigste hondje verstopt. Een echte kleine charmeur dus! Toen ik hier kwam, had ik wat extra verzorging nodig. Mijn oortjes waren flink ontstoken, maar gelukkig ben ik daarvoor behandeld. Wel moet ik mijn oorspray (Virbac Cortotic) blijvend twee keer per week blijven gebruiken. Ook mijn huid en vacht hadden wat aandacht nodig. Daarom krijg ik Royal Canin Anallergenic en moet ik dit voer ook blijven eten. Met andere hondjes kan ik prima overweg. Katten en kinderen zijn alleen niet helemaal mijn ding. Ik zoek daarom een rustig thuis waar ik lekker mezelf mag zijn en waar mijn verzorging goed wordt bijgehouden. Ben jij op zoek naar een lief, gezellig hondje dat misschien kijkt alsof hij net zijn dag niet heeft, maar ondertussen je hart helemaal inpakt? Dan zou ik zomaar jouw nieuwe huisgenootje kunnen zijn! Ik hoef geen groot avontuur meer, maar gewoon een fijn mandje, lieve mensen en heel veel gezelligheid. Is er bij jou nog een plekje vrij voor mijn kleine, ietwat norse snoetje? ❤️

About Blitz

What life with Blitz looks like

Blitz is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Dierencentrum De Mère 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 Blitz, answered.

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