Clara

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Clara - a cheerful playful dog who deserves her own golden basket! Clara is an incredibly sweet, social and active lady of about 8 years old. With her approximately 18 kg, she is a medium-sized dog with a wonderfully cheerful character! There is one thing Clara really loves: TOYS! 🎾🧸 She prefers to collect all her toys in her kennel, so she has a whole stash to play with. Give her a ball and she's the happiest dog in the world! She can entertain herself for hours. Clara is not possessive about her toys and will not attack other dogs for a toy. She is social and friendly to other dogs and people, both men and women. She actually likes everyone! Clara was once rescued from the street by our rescuer, on behalf of a German foundation. Unfortunately, she tested positive for heartworm. The foundation decided not to take care of her anymore. Fortunately, Clara was not left to her fate. Our foundation raised money to give her the heartworm treatment she so badly needed. Thanks to everyone who contributed! Clara is currently being treated. As soon as she is completely heartworm-free, she will finally be able to travel to her own home! Clara has had several litters in her life. That can also be seen on her body, with clearly visible, enlarged mammary glands. We are looking for a loving home where Clara can finally enjoy her own place. A master who appreciates her cheerful, active character, likes to play with her and gives her all the love she deserves. Who gives this sweet playful dog the chance of a beautiful future?

❤️ Lieve Clara – een vrolijke speelvogel die haar eigen gouden mandje verdient! Clara is een ontzettend lieve, sociale en actieve dame van ongeveer 8 jaar oud. Met haar circa 18 kilo is ze een middelgrote hond met een heerlijk vrolijk karakter! Er is één ding waar Clara écht dol op is: SPEELGOED! 🎾🧸Ze verzamelt het liefst al haar speeltjes in haar kennel, zodat ze een hele voorraad heeft om mee te spelen. Geef haar een balletje en ze is de gelukkigste hond ter wereld! Ze kan zich urenlang vermaken. Clara is niet bezitterig over haar speelgoed en zal andere honden niet aanvallen om een speeltje. Ze is sociaal en vriendelijk naar andere honden en mensen, zowel mannen als vrouwen. Eigenlijk vindt ze iedereen leuk! Clara werd ooit van de straat gered door onze rescuer, in opdracht van een Duitse stichting. Helaas bleek ze positief te testen op hartworm. De stichting besloot daarop zich niet langer over haar te ontfermen. Gelukkig werd Clara niet aan haar lot overgelaten. Onze stichting heeft geld ingezameld om haar de hartwormbehandeling te kunnen geven die ze zo hard nodig heeft. Dank aan iedereen die daaraan heeft bijgedragen! Op dit moment wordt Clara behandeld. Zodra ze volledig hartwormvrij is, mag ze eindelijk afreizen naar haar eigen thuis! Clara heeft in haar leven al meerdere nestjes gehad. Dat is ook aan haar lichaam te zien, met duidelijk zichtbare, vergrote melkklieren. We zoeken een liefdevol thuis waar Clara eindelijk mag genieten van haar eigen plekje. Een baasje dat haar vrolijke, actieve karakter waardeert, graag met haar speelt en haar alle liefde geeft die ze verdient. Wie geeft deze lieve speelvogel de kans op een mooie toekomst?

About Clara

What life with Clara looks like

Clara is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Dogs on a Journey in Netherlands.

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 Clara, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Clara?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dogs on a Journey handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Clara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Clara if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Dogs on a Journey 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 Clara 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 Clara 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 Dogs on a Journey early rather than rehoming privately; they know Clara 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.
