How do I contact the shelter about El?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Straydogs Rescue Nederland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw El on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt El if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Straydogs Rescue Nederland 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 El 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 El 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 Straydogs Rescue Nederland early rather than rehoming privately; they know El 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.

El

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 9 months

* The birth date is always an estimate. In the case of El, our team members who met her think she is two months older than currently estimated. ** For an explanation, please read Why we are careful about placing our dogs with families with young children. Information: Mid-January 2026 and again mid-March and May 2026, some of our team members visited Elisa's animal shelter in Romania, with which we work closely. Only the dogs that we expect will be happy in the Netherlands - and their adopters with the dog - are mediated by us. Friendly, cheerful El definitely belongs to this group! El is one of the pups that our team members have met twice now. Physically and in character, she looks a lot like a terrier. Cheerful, enthusiastic with her own will and a good dose of humor. El is enthusiastic towards both people and other dogs and enjoys attention, playing and walking together. She can sometimes be too enthusiastic towards younger pups and doesn't understand that she should perhaps be a bit more careful. Of course, it might also be that she is often not taken out of the kennel and therefore is a bit in "overdrive". A lovely, adventurous and cheerful girl, who brings life to the brewery where she is. The videos further down this page give a good impression of her, along with this video from March:

* De geboortedatum is altijd een schatting. In het geval van El vermoeden onze teamleden die haar ontmoet hebben dat ze 2 maanden ouder is dan nu geschat. ** voor een toelichting, lees Waarom wij voorzichtig zijn met het plaatsen van onze honden bij gezinnen met jonge kinderen alstublieft. Informatie: Medio januari 2026 en opnieuw half maart en mei 2026 is een aantal van onze teamleden een week lang op bezoek bij Elisa's asiel in Roemenië, waarmee we nauw samenwerken. Alleen de honden waarvan we verwachten dat ze gelukkig zullen worden in Nederland - en hun adoptanten met de hond - worden door ons bemiddeld. Vriendelijke, vrolijke El hoort daar zeker bij! El is één van de pups die onze teamleden nu driemaal ontmoet hebben. Qua uiterlijk en karakter heeft ze wat weg van een kruising Border Terriër. Vrolijk, enthousiast met een eigen wil en een flinke dosis humor. El is enthousiast naar zowel mensen als andere honden en geniet van aandacht, spelen en samen wandelen. Naar jongere pups is ze soms wat al te enthousiast en snapt ze niet dat ze dan misschien wat voorzichtiger moet zijn. Natuurlijk kan het ook zo zijn dat meespeelt dat ze zelden uit de kennel komt en ze daardoor op zo'n moment wat in "overdrive" staat. Een heerlijk, ondernemend en vrolijk meiske dus, dat leven in de brouwerij brengt waar ze ook is. De filmpjes verder naar onderen op deze pagina geven een goed beeld van haar, samen met dit filmpje van maart:

About El

What life with El looks like

El is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Straydogs Rescue Nederland in RC Nieuwe Pekela.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇳🇱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.
