Heddy

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Asiel Tenerife (Sabine): Input 19 oktober 2026: Heddy kwam bij ons direct van een jager. Alweer een ongewenst nestje dat weg moest, en wel zo snel mogelijk. 5 prachtige hondjes die gelukkig geen trauma’s of een naar verleden hebben en die hier met liefde zullen opgroeien totdat ze van het echte hondenleventje kunnen gaan genieten, buiten de tralies van het asiel.Ze zijn natuurlijk nog erg jong om een goede karakter beschrijving te geven maar Heddy springt er tussen uit omdat ze de kleinste is. Klein...maar met de grootste oren, dat wel! En ze lijken ook te werken want wanneer we haar roepen staat ze meteen voor ons.Heddy is een vrolijke pup die graag met knuffeltjes speelt. Zodra ze ons hoort komt ze meteen huppelend naar de deur om ons vrolijk te begroeten. Ze is nog zo jong dat dat "huppelend" erg komisch is om te zien, met de gladde vloer van het asiel, net een klein hertje of een jong paard dat voor het eerst probeert te rennen.We hopen dat dit lieve schatje snel door haar eigen familie wordt opgemerkt zodat ze niet in het asiel hoeft op te groeien. Hoe geweldig zou het zijn als, over een paar weekjes, na haar inentingen, haar zachte mand al klaar zou staan?

About Heddy

What life with Heddy looks like

Heddy is a small puppy 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Heddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Heddy?
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 Heddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Heddy 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Heddy 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 Heddy 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 Heddy 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.
