Adopt Flakey

Female

Hi there! The cutest Flakey here, you might have known me as Baby... but believe me, this name fits me much better than who I really am. I have now grown out of the 'baby' phase and am more of a teenager! I am a young, sensitive dog with a special character. I am actually a mix of an owcharka and a rottweiler, which means I am not only smart and eager to learn, but also watchful, loyal and independent. I stand firmly on my paws and know what I want. At the same time, I am a dog that can form deep bonds with her people, provided there is time and trust. I'm looking for a place that really suits me. Not an average household, but a home where they understand who I am and what I need. Someone with experience, who is clear and can give me the right guidance. A place with space, think of a yard or farm where I can use my natural watchfulness in a good way and just be a dog. I'm not a dog for everyone, but for someone who understands me and can offer me what I need, I am a companion for life.

Hoi daar! De allerliefste Flakey hier, al kende je me misschien nog als Baby… maar geloof me, deze naam past véél beter bij wie ik echt ben. Ik ben inmiddels wel uit het 'baby' gehalte gegroeid en nu meer een puber! Ik ben een jonge, gevoelige hond met een bijzonder karakter. In mij zit namelijk een mix van een owcharka en een rottweiler en dat betekent dat ik niet alleen slim en leergierig ben, maar ook waakzaam, loyaal en zelfstandig. Ik sta stevig in mijn poten en weet goed wat ik wil. Tegelijk ben ik ook een hond die zich diep kan hechten aan haar mensen, als daar de tijd en het vertrouwen voor wordt genomen. Ik ben op zoek naar een plek die echt bij mij past. Geen doorsnee huishouden, maar een thuis waar ze begrijpen wie ik ben en wat ik nodig heb. Iemand met ervaring, die duidelijk is en mij de juiste begeleiding kan geven. Een plek met ruimte, denk aan een terrein of boerderij waar ik mijn natuurlijke waakinstinct op een goede manier kan inzetten en gewoon hond kan zijn. Ik ben geen hond voor iedereen, maar voor iemand die mij begrijpt en mij kan bieden wat ik nodig heb, ben ik een maatje voor het leven.

About Flakey

What life with Flakey looks like

Flakey is a adult dog waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Flakey, answered.

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