Carolina (Sisi)

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 8 years

Hoi ehh... ik ben Carolina en Ja, ik vind dit dus best spannend om te vertellen. Nieuwe mensen en zo… ik weet nooit zo goed wat ik ermee moet. Maar goed, ik ben een Border collie‑mix van 8 jaar en ik zit nu bij DOA omdat ik toe ben aan mijn volgende hoofdstuk. Een nieuw baasje, een nieuw begin, een nieuwe knuffelplek! Zoiets. Als je me voor het eerst ziet, denk ik waarschijnlijk Oei… wie ben jij en waarom kijk je naar mij? Maar geef me een beetje tijd, een beetje geduld en… oké, eerlijk is eerlijk… iets lekkers en dan ben ik zo om. Dan kom ik voorzichtig dichterbij, snuffel even, en voor je het weet sta ik tegen je aan geplakt voor een heerlijke knuffelsessie. Vooral als jij lekker op een stoel of bank zit, dat vind ik de perfecte knuffelhoek. Spelen met een bal of flostouw? Nee joh, laat anderen dat maar doen. Ik ben meer van de gezellige wandelingen, lekker samen op pad. Of spelen met een ander hondje, dat vind ik dan weer wél leuk. Nieuwe omgevingen ontdekken vind ik spannend, maar ik doe het graag zolang jij maar in de buurt bent. Ik zoek je dan ook regelmatig even op voor steun, gewoon om te checken of alles nog oké is. Dus… dat ben ik. Een lieve, gevoelige dame die soms een beetje moed nodig heeft, maar die je daarna haar hele hart geeft. Misschien ben jij wel degene die mij helpt aan die volgende stap.

About Carolina (Sisi)

What life with Carolina (Sisi) looks like

Carolina (Sisi) is a adult border collie 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

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 Carolina (Sisi), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Carolina (Sisi)?
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 Carolina (Sisi) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Carolina (Sisi) 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 Carolina (Sisi) 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 Carolina (Sisi) 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 Carolina (Sisi) 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.
