How do I contact the shelter about Bruno?

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

Can I adopt Bruno if I live in another country?

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

Bruno

Male · Young · 2 years

Bruno, neutered male dog, 2 years old, approximately 55 to 60 cm tall, foreign. Background. Bruno came into the shelter a few months ago because his owner no longer wanted to care for him. This owner had kept Bruno on a leash since he was a puppy. Because Bruno sometimes had sores on his neck, he would let him off the leash for a while. Then Bruno would go to the shelter to play with the other dogs. His owner would then pick him up again. Until one day Bruno was limping a little and was taken to the vet by people. The vet called the owner and told him that Bruno needed to be examined, neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. The owner then said he didn't want to spend any money on his dog. And so Bruno ended up in the shelter. The wounds on his neck have healed, although his neck is still a bit bare. Bruno enjoys his (reasonable) freedom, the dogs mainly run in groups together and are not kept in small kennels. But of course Bruno is also looking for his own place and his own owner. Character. Bruno is an energetic, cheerful, loving dog who loves to run around. He has a few big friends in the shelter, but he gets along well with all the dogs. Sometimes Bruno is overly enthusiastic, for example when he gets a treat. He mainly shows this by barking. We are looking for a home for Bruno where he can also be outside a lot. Bruno would greatly appreciate a dog-friendly person as well as (long) walks. Because of his barking, he could scare children, but older children are no problem.

Bruno, gecastreerde reu, 2 jaar, ca. 55 tot 60 cm. hoog, buitenland. Achtergrond. Bruno is een aantal maanden terug in de shelter gekomen omdat zijn baasje hem niet meer wilde verzorgen. Deze eigenaar heeft Bruno vanaf puppy aan de ketting gehad. Omdat Bruno af en toe last had van wondjes aan zijn hals liet hij hem dan even loslopen. Bruno liep dan zelf naar de shelter om te spelen met de andere honden. Z’n baasje haalde hem dan weer op. Tot Bruno op een dag een beetje mank liep en hij door mensen naar de dierenarts werd gebracht. Deze dierenarts belde de eigenaar en vertelde dat Bruno onderzocht moest worden, moest worden gecastreerd, gechipt en gevaccineerd. De eigenaar zei toen dat hij geen cent aan zijn hond uit wilde geven. En zo kwam Bruno in de shelter terecht. De wonden aan zijn hals zijn genezen, alhoewel zijn hals nog wat kaal is. Bruno geniet van zijn (redelijke) vrijheid, de honden lopen voornamelijk in roedels bij elkaar en zijn niet opgesloten in kleine kennels. Maar Bruno is natuurlijk ook op zoek naar zijn eigen plek en zijn eigen baasje. Karakter. Bruno is een energieke, vrolijke, lieve hond die graag rondrent. Hij heeft een paar grote vrienden in de shelter, maar hij kan met alle honden goed opschieten. Af en toe is Bruno overenthousiast, bijvoorbeeld als hij een snackje krijgt. Dat uit hij voornamelijk door te gaan blaffen. We zoeken voor Bruno een thuis waar hij ook veel buiten kan zijn. Bruno zal een hondenvriend erg op prijs stellen evenals (lange) wandelingen. Door zijn geblaf zou hij kinderen aan het schrikken kunnen maken, grotere kinderen is geen probleem.

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a extra-large young adult dog waiting at Stichting AAI in Amsterdam.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
