How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?

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

Can I adopt Bobby if I live in another country?

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

Adopt Bobby

Mixed Breed · Unknown · 6 months

Bobby: an incredibly loving and enthusiastic 6-month-old boy looking for a loving home! Bobby was found on the street as a puppy in Bulgaria and was taken in by kind people. Soon we were asked if we would like to welcome him, and we did. Bobby recently came to us and we are looking for a nice place for this great guy! Bobby is truly a wonderful dog! He is incredibly loving and gentle, super social and just a real treasure. Bobby is also really a worker and loves to train with you. He can really focus completely on you for minutes and wants to do everything for you with love (and in return for a treat😉). We are really impressed how he already has such concentration at such a young age! Also very nice is that he can switch well from working to relaxing. Because Bobby really likes to learn, we are looking for people who also really enjoy training and taking courses and who, like Bobby, become happy about it! Bobby is very social with dogs and also lived together with other dogs. Therefore, he could share his new home with another dog. He also takes cats very calmly and could share his new home with a cat. Bobby is used to living indoors and is housebroken, knows the car and could also be left alone with the other dogs for a while. Of course, this will have to be built up again in his new home, especially if he ends up being the only dog there. Bobby is very fond of food and this is one of the reasons why we don't place him with young children. He will want to take it from their hands and he doesn't always take it gently. Also, he will go through puberty and, given that there is some herding dog blood in him, we think a family with young children is simply not suitable. A home without children or with older children is no problem. Bobby is really a great dog looking for experienced people who like to train with him, go for long walks and also appreciate his loving character. Then he will do his best for you and you will get a fantastic dog back!

Bobby: een ontzettend lief en werklustig ventje van 6 maanden jong die opzoek is naar een liefdevolle plek! Bobby is als jong pupje op straat gevonden in Bulgarije en is opgevangen door lieve mensen. Al snel kregen wij de vraag of wij hem welkom wilden heetten en dat wilden wij. Bobby is recent bij ons gekomen en we gaan dit geweldige kereltje hebben zoeken naar een fijne plek! Bobby is werkelijk een heerlijke hond! Hij is ontzettend lief en zachtaardig, is super sociaal en gewoon weg een schatje. Bobby is ook echt een werker en vindt het geweldig om met je te trainen. Hij kan dan echt minutenlang volledige aandacht hebben voor jou en wilt alles met liefde voor je (en in ruil voor een snoepje😉) voor je uitvoeren. Wij zijn ook echt onder de indruk hoe hij op zo’n jonge leeftijd al zo’n concentratie kan hebben! Wat ook heel mooi is, is dat hij vrij goed kan schakelen van werken naar weer ontspannen. Omdat Bobby zo graag dingen wilt leren zoeken wij wel mensen voor hem die dit ook echt leuk vinden. Die met het gaan trainen en op cursus gaan en net als Bobby hier blij van worden! Bobby is erg sociaal met honden en leefde ook samen met andere honden. Hij zou zijn nieuwe huis dus kunnen delen met een andere hond. Ook katten vindt hij heel normaal en zou zijn nieuwe huis kunnen delen met een kat. Bobby is gewend in huis en is zindelijk, kent de auto en kon met de andere honden ook al eventjes alleen blijven. Uiteraard zal dit in zijn nieuwe huis weer opgebouwd moeten worden, zeker als hij ergens als enige hond zal komen te wonen. Bobby is erg gek op eten en dit is onder andere een reden waarom we hem niet plaatsen bij jonge kinderen. Hij zal dat uit hun hand willen pakken en hij pakt niet altijd zachtjes. Ook zal hij nog in de puberteit komen en gezien er toch wat herder bloed doorheen zit, lijkt ons een gezin met jonge kinderen gewoon niet geschikt. Een plek zonder kinderen of wat oudere kinderen is geen probleem. Bobby is dus werkelijk een geweldige hond die opzoek is naar ervaren mensen die lekker met hem gaan trainen, lange wandelingen gaan maken en ook houden van zijn lieve karakter. Dan zal hij zijn uiterste best voor je doen en krijg je er een fantastisch hondje voor terug!

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen in Netherlands.

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.
