Eefje

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Welcome Eefje. First, let's "land". Your eyes radiate a certain expectancy at first. If your instinct tells you that you can trust some people, you nestle against them. Ready to be hugged. What a gigantic resilience a dog has and so unique that despite all the misery they still trust humans. You don't quite understand what has happened to you. Rescued from puppy mills, this treasure. She is 7 years old and we have named her Eefje. We are going to pamper her first. Delicious food, soft comfortable bed, lots of sleep and endless love. It's going to be okay Eefje, we'll take care of that. Only the very best dog friend deserves you.

Welkom Eefje Eerst maar even “landen”. Uit je ogen straalt een zekere afwachtendheid in eerste instantie. Als je instinct je vertelt dat je sommige mensen kunt vertrouwen, nestel je je tegen ze aan. Klaar om geknuffeld te worden. Wat is een hond toch gigantisch weerbaar en zo uniek dat ze ondanks alle ellende toch weer de mens vertrouwen. Je begrijpt het nog niet helemaal wat je allemaal is overkomen. Gered uit de broodfok deze schat. Ze is 7 jaar en wij hebben haar Eefje genoemd. We gaan haar eerst maar eens in de watten leggen. Lekker eten, zachte comfortabele mand, veel slapen en oneindig veel liefde Komt goed Eefje, daar zorgen wij voor. Alleen de aller aller beste hondenvriend(in) verdien jij.

About Eefje

What life with Eefje looks like

Eefje is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at DOC Oldenzaal 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 Eefje, answered.

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