How do I contact the shelter about Finja?

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 Finja on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Finja 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 Finja 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 Finja 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 Finja 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 Finja

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy

Welcome Finja This mixed breed Portuguese Mastin was rescued together with her brother Balou. In Portugal, our colleagues there have been bottle-raising them, and they've done a fantastic job. They've grown very well. Balou has already found a place, but we're still looking for a home for Finja. She's great! Large and very cuddly for a 4.5-month-old. She still needs to learn about cleanliness, staying home alone, and of course, she doesn't know any Dutch commands yet. She will grow into a large lady, around 60cm tall. Naturally, these dogs protect the home and family, and Finja is not a dog for an apartment. We prefer to find people who live outside, where she can roam freely on the yard. If you're seriously interested in this beautiful lady, please feel free to email or call. Finja is a beautiful female dog, a mix of Rafeiro do Alentejo, with an estimated birthdate of January 17, 2026, and she is expected to be around 60cm tall.

Welkom Finja Deze kruising Portugese Mastin is samen met haar broertje Balou gered. In Portugal door onze collega’s aldaar met de fles groot gebracht. Dat hebben ze fantastisch gedaan. Ze zijn heel goed gegroeid. Balou heeft inmiddels een plek gevonden maar voor Finja zijn we nog op zoek. Ze is gaaf! Groot, en lekker lomp voor de 4.5 mnd jong. Ze moet alles nog leren qua zindelijkheid, alleen thuis blijven en kent uiteraard nog geen Nederlandse commando’s. Het wordt een grote dame, ca 60cm groot. Van nature zijn het honden die huis en gezin beschermen. Finja is dan ook geen hond voor een appartement. Bij voorkeur zoeken we mensen die buitenaf wonen waar ze lekker zelfstandig op het erf kan rondscharrelen. Bij serieuze belangstelling voor deze pracht dame, graag even mailen of bellen Finja is een prachtige teef, een mix Rafeiro do Alentejo, met een geschatte geboortedatum van 17 januari 2026 en zij zal naar verwachting circa 60 cm hoog worden.

About Finja

What life with Finja looks like

Finja is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at DOC Oldenzaal in Netherlands.

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.
