Doedel

Labradoodle · Male · Adult · 4 years

Meet Doedel, a 4-year-old Labradoodle and an enormous happy egg who loves spending as much time as possible with his owner. At first he can be reserved, but once you gain his trust, he becomes your best friend. Doedel loves going out or being active so he would suit someone who enjoys taking him on adventures and giving him enough challenges. He likes playing outside with other dogs, but at home he prefers the peace and quiet. That's why we are looking for a home where he is the only pet. At home he is a calm dog who loves to snuggle up next to his owner on the couch. A place where he can do that would be ideal for him. Although Doedel hasn't had puppy training, he is eager to learn and easy to train. He has mastered basic commands well and enjoys working together with you. A garden is a must for this boy. He loves being outside and has great fun playing with a ball or other toys. We are looking for a quiet home for Doedel with one or two adults, no children and no other pets.

Maak kennis met Doedel, een 4-jarige Labradoodle en een enorm blij ei die het liefst zoveel mogelijk tijd doorbrengt met zijn baas. In het begin kan hij afwachtend zijn, maar zodra hij je vertrouwt, ben je zijn allerbeste vriend. Samen op pad gaan of actief bezig zijn vindt Doedel geweldig. Daarom past hij het beste bij iemand die graag onderneemt en hem voldoende uitdaging kan bieden. Buiten speelt Doedel graag met andere honden, maar thuis geniet hij juist van de rust. Daarom zoeken we voor hem een thuis waar hij het enige huisdier is. In huis is hij een rustige hond die graag lekker bij zijn baasje op de bank komt liggen. Een plekje waar hij dat ook mag blijven doen, zou voor hem ideaal zijn. Hoewel Doedel geen puppycursus heeft gevolgd, is hij leergierig en makkelijk te trainen. Hij beheerst de basiscommando's goed en vindt het leuk om samen te werken. Een tuin is voor deze jongen echt een must. Hij is graag buiten en vermaakt zich uitstekend met een balletje of ander speelgoed. Voor Doedel zoeken we een rustig thuis bij één á twee volwassenen, zonder kinderen en zonder andere huisdieren.

About Doedel

What life with Doedel looks like

Doedel is a large adult labradoodle dog waiting at Dierenasiel Utrecht in Utrecht.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Doedel, answered.

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