Bram

Male · Adult · 6 years

Bram, a 6-year-old Heidewachtel, is a sweet, playful, enthusiastic, and eager to learn dog. He is generally calm indoors. He likes to sleep in his own spot or curl up on the couch with you. He keeps an eye on you and enjoys challenging you to a game. He's a true companion! He's not really watchful, okay, he'll announce someone walking by and when the doorbell rings, he'll excitedly investigate with his blanket in his mouth. But he likes to be guided to his spot to observe from there. Bram gets along well with children, but they should be older than about 6 years. The children need to understand that a dog doesn't always like something and also needs rest. Only when he was a puppy was there a crate in the house, but now there isn't.

In huis is hij over het algemeen rustig. Hij slaapt graag op zijn eigen plekje of ligt hij lekker bij je op de bank. Hij houdt je in de gaten of laat zich graag uitdagen voor een spelletje. Hij is echt een maatje van de baas! Waaks is hij niet echt, oké, hij zal aankondigen dat er iemand langs loopt en als de bel gaat zal hij enthousiast met zijn kleedje in de mond op onderzoek uit gaan. Maar hij laat zich graag op zijn plaats sturen om het vanaf daar te aanschouwen.Bram kan prima met kinderen zijn, alleen wel ouder dan ongeveer 6 jaar. De kinderen moeten kunnen begrijpen dat een hond iets ook niet leuk vindt en ook rust nodig heeft. Alleen als pup was er een bench in huis, nu is e

About Bram

What life with Bram looks like

Bram is a adult dog waiting at Stichting Zino 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bram, answered.

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