How do I contact the shelter about Maak kennis met Boem?

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

Can I adopt Maak kennis met Boem if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam 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 Maak kennis met Boem 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 Maak kennis met Boem 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 DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maak kennis met Boem 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.

Maak kennis met Boem

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Young · 2 years

Hi, I'm Boem! Yes, Boem. Just like the sound I make when I bump into a door, a person or a strategically placed trash can with excitement. Oops. I now live at DOA! My previous owner wasn't very kind to me, so I got a new start. Let me tell you: I'm really good at new starts. Especially when they start with running, jumping or sniffing! I'm basically a bouncy ball on legs. If something happens, I want to join in. If nothing happens, I still want to join in. I think calmness is seriously overrated. But anyway, the people here have let me discover sniffing games. And I have to admit, it's actually pretty nice. My head gets calmer. Although of course I won't admit that too much, because imagine if they expect me to do it more often. All people are great. Really all people. If you're a human, you're automatically great. Cuddling? Fantastic! But only when there are no toys around, because otherwise those have to be convincingly thrown around first. Priorities, right. So are you looking for a cheerful, enthusiastic, sometimes overly enthusiastic friend? Someone who lovingly bounces you awake, loves to play with you, and secretly (but really, really secretly) also enjoys a quiet moment together? Then I'm Boem. And I can't wait to meet you!

Hoi, ik ben Boem! Ja, Boem. Net zoals het geluid dat ik maak als ik enthousiast tegen een deur, een mens of een strategisch geplaatste prullenbak knal. Oeps. Ik woon nu bij DOA! Mijn vorige baasje was niet zo lief voor mij en daarom mocht ik een nieuwe start maken. En laat ik je zeggen: ik ben héél goed in nieuwe starts. Vooral als ze beginnen met rennen, springen of snuffelen! Ik ben namelijk een echte stuiterbal op poten. Als er iets gebeurt, wil ik meedoen. Als er níets gebeurt, wil ik ook meedoen. Ik vind eigenlijk dat rust zwaar overschat wordt. Maar goed, de mensen hier hebben mij snuffelspelletjes laten ontdekken. En ik moet toegeven dat is eigenlijk best wel lekker. Mijn hoofd wordt er rustiger van. Al probeer ik dat natuurlijk niet te hard toe te geven, want stel je voor dat ze verwachten dat ik dat vaker ga doen. Alle mensen zijn leuk. Echt álle mensen. Als jij een mens bent, ben je dus automatisch leuk. Knuffelen? Fantastisch! Maar wel als er even geen speeltjes zijn, want anders moeten die eerst overtuigend worden rondgeslingerd. Prioriteiten, hè. Dus ben jij op zoek naar een vrolijke, enthousiaste, soms iets-te-enthousiaste vriend? Iemand die je met liefde wakker stuitert, graag met je speelt, en stiekem (maar echt héél stiekem) ook houdt van een rustig momentje samen? Dan ben ik Boem. En ik kan niet wachten om jou te ontmoeten!
