Adopt Dries

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Sometimes your heart overflows when you see a certain puppy. Dries fits this description perfectly. He was rescued from a Polish animal shelter and has come to the Netherlands. Dries is completely blind but does not suffer from it. He was likely born blind, so he doesn't know any different. His character is calm, very gentle, loving, patient, and easy to get along with. Dries really wants his own bed in the Netherlands. Are you perhaps the one who falls for this beautiful head and are looking for a sweet, calm housemate who is content to gnaw on a bone…? Then look no further and come meet Dries. Just like we did, you will surely fall for his beautiful character. Maybe soon! Call: 06-50800245 or fill out the form:

About Dries

What life with Dries looks like

Dries is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Huis voor Dieren in Netherlands.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇳🇱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 Dries, answered.

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