How do I contact the shelter about Helga?

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

Can I adopt Helga if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Help een Hond 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 Helga 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 Helga 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 Stichting Help een Hond early rather than rehoming privately; they know Helga and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Helga

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Helga, Hilda and the pups Heidi and Hayo were found together at an abandoned house. The four were taken by the volunteers of Odorheiu. Hayo and Hilda have already found their home, but Helga and Heidi are still staying in the small shelter in Odorheiu. Helga is a very kind dog. She is always where the caretakers are, because Helga loves attention and cuddles. She is even called the sweetest dog in the shelter! During the visit in April 2026 by the volunteers to Ioana's shelter, they met Helga personally. In her familiar environment, she was completely at ease. There was no sign of shyness; she moved freely and confidently among the people present. With several volunteers and caretakers around her, Helga visibly enjoyed all the attention. She went past everyone to have a quick cuddle and thus showed how attached and people-oriented she is. She really makes contact and radiates gentleness and kindness. In addition, her appearance immediately catches attention. Helga has beautiful, kind eyes and a particularly distinctive head that makes her unique. Her left eye looks slightly inward, giving her a touching appearance. She doesn't have any problems with it. Also, she has a damaged ear on one side. We don't know how this happened, but it has healed nicely and she has no problems with it. Furthermore, Helga is calm and composed, even in small things. She takes cookies politely and remains calm in her behavior. Finally, Helga is a loving young dog ready to find her own place. She is looking for a warm and stable home where she can continue to grow into a happy family dog, with enough rest, attention and love. If she gets the chance to unfold at her own pace, her owner will get a lifelong friend. Will you give her this chance? 20-10-24 20-10-24 20-10-24 nov 2024 12-2025 Helga april 2026 Helga is looking for a nice home ❤️ Gender: Female Size: 50 cm Born: estimated 2021 Neutered: Yes Accommodation: Odorheiu, Romania Cats: unknown Temperament: Affectionate, calm, kind, people-oriented We think Helga can develop into a nice family dog with your help!

Helga, Hilda en de pups Heidi en Hayo zijn met zijn vieren gevonden bij een verlaten huis. De vier zijn meegenomen door de vrijwilligers van Odorheiu. Hayo en Hilda hebben hun thuis al gevonden, maar Helga en Heidi verblijven nog in de kleine shelter in Odorheiu. Helga is een heel erg lieve hond. Ze is altijd daar te vinden waar de verzorgsters zijn, want Helga houdt enorm van aandacht en knuffelen. Ze wordt zelfs de liefste hond van de shelter genoemd! Tijdens het bezoek afgelopen april 2026 van de vrijwilligers aan de shelter van Ioana hebben zij Helga persoonlijk ontmoet. In haar vertrouwde omgeving bleek zij helemaal in haar element. Van schuchterheid was geen sprake; ze bewoog zich vrij en zelfverzekerd tussen de aanwezigen. Met meerdere vrijwilligers en verzorgers om haar heen genoot Helga zichtbaar van alle aandacht. Ze ging langs iedereen om even te kroelen en liet daarmee zien hoe aanhankelijk en mensgericht zij is. Ze maakt echt contact en straalt daarbij zachtheid en vriendelijkheid uit. Daarnaast valt haar uiterlijk direct op. Helga heeft prachtige, vriendelijke ogen en een bijzonder koppie dat haar uniek maakt. Haar linker oog loenst iets naar binnen, wat haar een aandoenlijke uitstraling geeft. Ze heeft hier geen last van. Ook heeft ze aan één kant een beschadigd oor. Hoe dit is ontstaan weten we niet, maar het is netjes genezen en ze heeft er geen last van. Verder is Helga rustig en beheerst, ook in kleine dingen. Zo pakt ze koekjes netjes aan en blijft ze kalm in haar gedrag. Tenslotte is Helga een liefdevolle jonge hond die klaar is om haar eigen plek te vinden. Ze zoekt een warm en stabiel thuis waar ze verder mag opgroeien tot een gelukkige huishond, met voldoende rust, aandacht en liefde. Als ze de kans krijgt om zich in haar eigen tempo te ontplooien, dan krijgt haar baasje een vriendin voor het leven. Geef jij haar deze kans? 20-10-24 20-10-24 20-10-24 nov 2024 12-2025 Helga april 2026 Helga zoekt een fijn thuis ❤️ Geslacht: Teef Formaat: 50 cm Geboren: geschat 2021 Geneutraliseerd: Ja Verblijfplaats: Odorheiu, Roemenië Katten: onbekend Temperament: Aanhankelijk, rustig, lief, mensgericht We denken dat Helga zich kan ontwikkelen tot een fijne huishond met uw hulp! Zij doet het goed bij haar rescuer in Roemenië. Dat neemt niet weg dat ook zij erg zal moeten wennen aan een nieuwe leefomgeving. Haar nieuwe baasje is geduldig en zal haar hierbij goed begeleiden.

About Helga

What life with Helga looks like

Helga is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Help een Hond in Netherlands.

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.
