How do I contact the shelter about Felix?

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

Can I adopt Felix if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — description 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 Felix 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 Felix 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 description early rather than rehoming privately; they know Felix 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.

Adopt Felix

Podenco · Male · Puppy · 11 months

Ped-Dog Input 20 November 2025: Felix is one of the nine puppies born during the night of 9 April 2025. Their mother Maira was found half-starved on the street just two days earlier. The veterinarian said she was too weak to raise her puppies without help. Thanks to the intensive, 24-hour care of their foster mother, seven puppies have grown up healthy and are now looking for a happy, permanent home. Felix is a curious, gentle and open-minded puppy with a cheerful character. He gets along well with people and dogs. He grew up with his mother and brothers and sisters in a house with many other dogs. He is great with all of them: old and young, male and female. He has healthy social skills and enjoys exploring the world outside. He walks well on a leash and likes to sniff around and discover new hiding places. Riding in a car is no problem. Felix is ready to explore the world with a loving family and will certainly bring joy and pleasure. He loves outdoor activities, the beach and adventures in nature. At the same time, he enjoys cuddles and the love of people, and a warm spot on the couch next to you would be his winter dream. He likes to learn new things and would enjoy dog school or agility. He would be a perfect companion for an active family that loves outdoor activities, but also likes to be spoiled and receive lots of love from his owners.

Ped-Dog 13 mei 2026: geadopteerd via het asiel. Input 20 november 2025: Felix is een van de negen puppy's die geboren zijn in de nacht van 9 april 2025. Hun moeder Maira werd slechts twee dagen eerder half verhongerd op straat gevonden. De dierenarts zei dat ze te zwak was om haar puppy's zonder hulp groot te brengen. Dankzij de intensieve, 24-uurs zorg van hun pleegmoeder, zijn zeven puppy's gezond opgegroeid en zijn ze nu op zoek naar een gelukkig, permanent thuis. Felix is een nieuwsgierige, zachtaardige en ruimdenkende puppy met een vrolijk karakter. Hij kan perfect overweg met mensen en honden. Hij groeide op met zijn moeder en broertjes en zusjes in een huis met veel andere honden. Hij is geweldig met ze allemaal: oud en jong, reutje en teefje. Hij heeft gezonde sociale vaardigheden en houdt ervan om de wereld buiten te verkennen. Hij loopt goed aan de lijn en vindt het leuk om rond te snuffelen en nieuwe schuilplaatsen te ontdekken. Autorijden is geen probleem. Felix is klaar om samen met een liefdevol gezin de wereld te ontdekken en zal zeker vreugde en plezier brengen. Hij houdt van buitenactiviteiten, het strand en avonturen in de natuur. Tegelijkertijd geniet hij van knuffels en de liefde van mensen, en een warm plekje op de bank naast je zou zijn winterdroom zijn. Hij leert graag nieuwe dingen en zou genieten van hondenschool of agility. Hij zou een perfecte metgezel zijn voor een actief gezin dat van buitenactiviteiten houdt, maar tegelijkertijd graag verwend wordt en veel liefde van zijn baasjes krijgt.

About Felix

What life with Felix looks like

Felix is a medium-sized puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

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.
