How do I contact the shelter about Chilifox?

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

Can I adopt Chilifox if I live in another country?

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

Adopt Chilifox

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 11 months

Triple A Benelux Input 5 June 2026: Chilifox or her shortened name, Chichi, is absolutely a very special Podenco girl. The name Chilifox isn't just a coincidence. With her beautiful feline appearance combined with the character of a mild Spanish pepper, Chichi is the unique dog she is. Her silky fur feels incredibly soft, so petting her might just become your new hobby. In the presence of unfamiliar people, she is initially a bit shy, but once she notices that other dogs are comfortable with you, she suddenly becomes cuddly, playful, and starts sharing kisses. Chichi still seems like a puppy, but the vet confirmed that she must have been around 8-10 months old when she arrived at our animal shelter. She didn't have a microchip when she was found on the street with her companion, Petra (an Espagneul Breton). Chichi is hopelessly in love with Petra, stays by her side, and never stops cuddling her. Of course, it would be wonderful if these two could be adopted together, but it's not necessarily required. Chichi loves all the dogs she meets and will be happy in her new home with any playful, social dog by her side. A companion for the desired direction and trust. Chichi cannot be adopted as the only dog in the household! We are also looking for a place for her in a quiet environment, close to nature with a secure, fenced-in garden where she can run freely without constantly being on a leash. With a shoulder height of 39 cm, Chichi is a small dametje. Do you perhaps have a spot for her where she can become friends with your other dog(s)? She loves it and will undoubtedly jump at the chance when the time comes!

Triple A Benelux Input 5 juni 2026: Chilifox of afgekort Chichi is absoluut een heel apart Podenco -meisje.De naam Chilifox komt niet uit de lucht vallen. Een prachtig vosachtig uiterlijk tezamen met het karakter van een mild Spaans pepertje maakt Chichi tot het bijzondere hondje wat ze is. Haar donsachtige vachtje voelt super zacht aan, dus aaien zou zomaar eens je nieuwe hobby kunnen worden. In het bijzijn van onbekende mensen is ze in beginsel nog verlegen, maar als ze in de gaten heeft dat andere honden zich bij jou op hun gemak voelen dan wordt ze zelf ineens ook knuffelig, speels en worden er ook vrij snel kusjes uitgedeeld. Chichi lijkt nog steeds een puppy, maar de dierenarts bevestigde dat ze zo’n 8-10 maanden oud moet zijn geweest toen ze bij ons in het asiel aankwam. Ze droeg geen microchip toen ze samen met haar vriendin Petra (een Espagneul Breton) op straat werd gevonden. Chichi is tot over haar oren verliefd op Petra, blijft aan haar zijde en stopt niet met haar te knuffelen. Natuurlijk zou het super zijn als deze 2 samen geadopteerd kunnen worden, maar het is niet per se noodzakelijk. Chichi houdt immers van alle honden die ze tegenkomt en zal in haar nieuwe thuis ook happy zijn met een willekeurige speelse, sociale hond aan haar zijde. Een maatje voor de gewenste sturing en vertrouwen. Chichi kan niet geadopteerd worden als enige hond in huis!We zoeken voor haar bovendien een plek in een rustige omgeving, dichtbij de natuur met een veilig omheinde tuin waar ze vrij kan los lopen en rennen zonder telkens aan de riem te hoeven. Met een schouderhoogte van 39 cm is Chichi een klein dametje. Heb jij misschien een plekje voor haar waar ze vriendjes mag worden met jullie andere hond(en)? Ze hoort het graag en springt ongetwijfeld een gat in de lucht als het zover is!

About Chilifox

What life with Chilifox looks like

Chilifox is a small puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇳🇱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.
