Cindy

Mixed Breed Β· Female Β· Young Β· 1 year

Cindy is a one-year-old female dog who is looking for a special home. She is small but incredibly brave. Unfortunately, Cindy is blind and has some mental issues. She lives in her own world and needs help with eating. She also doesn't know where to go to the bathroom, so accidents can happen anywhere (even inside). We are looking for a place that will fully accept her. She is currently in the Netherlands, so you can meet her! Maybe someone wants to give her another chance πŸ™πŸ»πŸ€ Longer summary: Cindy got parvo as a puppy and due to a medical error, blood poisoning was added on top πŸ˜” This is why she became blind and got a mental blow. This is now expressed in sometimes epileptic seizures. She can run around in circles due to stress and the environment must be safe so she doesn't hurt herself ❀‍� She gets medication for this which has already taken the sharp edges off fortunately πŸ™πŸ» The mental issues are expressed as follows: - She lives mostly in her own world and doesn't react like a "normal" dog to the environment. - She needs help finding her food. - She does her needs everywhere, also inside. What can she DO? She walks proudly and makes the most of it. She seems to enjoy lying in her bed, preferably in the sun πŸ₯Ήβ˜€ She also enjoys her food and cuddles! She sleeps a lot, but when she's awake, she likes to walk around πŸ’ͺ🏻 Loving people in the Netherlands gave her a chance and tried their best to be her forever home 🩷 Their current dog is afraid of Cindy's sometimes unpredictable behavior πŸ˜” Before we let her come back, we still want to try once more to find that one needle in the haystack for her πŸ™πŸ½ For more information, don't hesitate to send us a message πŸ€ We will answer all questions with love! We are hopeful for Cindy 🩷✨

🌸 Cindy 🌸 Op zoek naar een heel speciaal huisje voor Cindy! 🏑 Korte samenvatting: Cindy is een teefje van rond een jaar oud. Klein van stuk maar ongelooflijk dapper 🩷 Helaas is Cindy blind en heeft ze wat mentale bijzonderheden. Zo leeft ze in haar eigen wereldje en heeft ze hulp nodig met eten. Daarnaast ziet/weet ze niet waar ze haar behoeften doet, dus ongelukjes kunnen overal (ook binnen) gebeuren πŸ˜” Voor Cindy zoeken we een plekje die haar volledig accepteert. Ze is momenteel al in Nederland, dus te ontmoeten! Wellicht is er iemand die haar nog een kans wilt geven πŸ™πŸ»πŸ€ Langere samenvatting: Cindy heeft als pupje parvo gekregen en door een medische fout kwam daar bloedvergiftiging bovenop πŸ˜” Hierdoor is ze blind geworden en heeft ze mentaal een flinke klap gekregen. Dit uit zich nu in soms epileptische aanvallen. Dan kan ze door de stress wat rondjes rennen en moet de omgeving veilig zijn zodat ze zichzelf niet bezeert ❀‍� Ze krijgt hiervoor medicatie wat de scherpe randjes er al af heeft gehaald gelukkig πŸ™πŸ» De mentale bijzonderheden uiten zich als volgt: - Ze leeft vooral in haar eigen wereld, en reageert niet zoals een \"normaal\" hondje op de omgeving. - Ze heeft hulp nodig met haar eten vinden. - Ze doet haar behoeften overal, ook binnen. Wat kan ze WEL? Ze wandelt stoer rond en maakt er het beste van. Ze lijkt enorm te genieten van in haar mandje liggen, het liefst in de zon πŸ₯Ήβ˜€ Ze geniet ook erg van har eten en knuffels! Ze slaapt veel, maar als ze wakker is dappert ze dus lekker rond πŸ’ͺ🏻 Lieve mensen in Nederland gaven haar een kans en hebben mΓ©r dan zo goed mogelijk geprobeert haar forever home te zijn 🩷 Hun huidige hondje heeft echter nogal schrik van het soms onvoorspelbare gedrag van Cindy πŸ˜” Voor we haar terug laten komen willen we toch nog een keer proberen die ene speld in de hooiberg te vinden voor haar πŸ™πŸ½ Voor meer informatie twijfel niet om ons een berichtje te sturen πŸ€ We beantwoorden met liefde alle vragen! Wij zijn hoopvol voor Cindy 🩷✨

About Cindy

What life with Cindy looks like

Cindy is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Dogs Europe in Amersfoort/Vlissingen (NL-wide).

A young 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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±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 Cindy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cindy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope for Dogs Europe handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cindy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cindy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Hope for Dogs Europe 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Cindy 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Cindy isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hope for Dogs Europe early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cindy 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 β€” 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.
