Adopt Maak kennis met Bugs

Male

Hi, my name is Bugs and together with my nestmate Bunny, we are turning everything upside down here. We don't like to sit still, we are much too lively for that. Right now we are staying with a foster family so we can be properly socialized and get lots of attention. The veterinarian thinks we are two males but it's so hard to tell now that we are still so young. By the end of May we will be ready for the next step. Who will we be moving in with?

Hoooi mijn naam is Bugs en samen met mijn nestgenootje Bunny zetten we de boel hier op zijn kop. Stilzitten doen we niet aan, daar zijn we veel te vrolijk voor. Op dit moment logeren we bij een pleeggezin zodat we goed gesocialiseerd kunnen worden en veel aandacht krijgen. De dierenarts denkt dat wij twee mannetjes zijn maar dat is ZO lastig te zien nu we nog zo jong zijn. Rond eind mei zijn we klaar voor de volgende stap. Bij wie mogen we dan komen wonen?

About Maak kennis met Bugs

What life with Maak kennis met Bugs looks like

Maak kennis met Bugs is a adult dog waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Maak kennis met Bugs, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maak kennis met Bugs?
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 Bugs on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maak kennis met Bugs 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 Bugs 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 Bugs 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 Bugs 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.
