How do I contact the shelter about Fuzzy?

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

Can I adopt Fuzzy if I live in another country?

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

Fuzzy

Chihuahua · Male · Senior · 13 years

This is our 13-year-old Chihuahua Fuzzy. He comes from a busy household and couldn't handle it well. Fuzzy has been with us for a while now and is finally ready for adoption. Fuzzy wants to get to know you first. Once you're comfortable, he'd love to be with you all day. He loves walks, but cuddling is his favorite. It's important to know dog language with Fuzzy, as he can react sensitively in some places. Fuzzy is a real Chihuahua and will let you know if he needs something. Fuzzy is known to have epilepsy. The daily medication he takes keeps the seizures under control. Additionally, Fuzzy has a heart murmur, cataracts, and his teeth were extremely dirty. His teeth have recently been cleaned and a few teeth have been removed. Fuzzy is always taken out on a harness due to a past neck hernia. This old dog still enjoys going out. We're looking for a quiet place for him to live out his final years. He gets along well with older, calm dogs. Cats are no problem for him either. We won't place him with children, as it's too busy for him. Interested in Fuzzy? Contact us at and mention in your motivation at least: Sensitive, eager to learn, and brave when needed. Give Bella some time and she'll give you her whole heart.

Dit is onze stoere Chihuahua Fuzzy van 13 jaar oud. Hij komt uit een druk huishouden en kon hier niet zo goed tegen. Inmiddels verblijft Fuzzy al een poosje bij ons en is hij eindelijk klaar voor adoptie. Fuzzy wil je eerst even leren kennen. Als het eenmaal goed zit, is hij het liefst heel de dag bij je. Wandelen vindt hij heerlijk, maar knuffelen doet hij het allerliefst. Bij Fuzzy is het belangrijk dat je de hondentaal goed kent, hij kan op sommige plekken namelijk gevoelig reageren. Fuzzy is een echte chihuahua en laat als het moet goed van zich horen. Fuzzy is bekend met epilepsie. De medicatie die hij daar dagelijks voor krijgt, houdt de aanvallen onder controle. Daarnaast heeft Fuzzy last van een hartruis, staar en was zijn gebit enorm vies. Zijn gebit is recent gereinigd en een aantal tanden zijn getrokken. Fuzzy wordt bij ons altijd uitgelaten met tuig vanwege een nekhernia in het verleden. Dit opaatje vindt het nog erg gezellig om erop uit te gaan. We zoeken voor hem een rustige plek waar hij zijn laatste jaren mag wonen. Met oudere, rustige honden kan hij prima overweg. Ook katten is voor hem geen probleem. We plaatsen hem niet bij kinderen, dat is te druk voor hem. Interesse in Fuzzy? Neem contact op via en vermeld in uw motivatie minstens: Gevoelig, leergierig en dapper als het moet. Geef Bella even de tijd en ze geeft je haar hele hart.

About Fuzzy

What life with Fuzzy looks like

Fuzzy is a medium-sized senior chihuahua dog waiting at Dierentehuis in Netherlands.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇳🇱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.
