Henkie

Male · Young · 1 year

Henkie is een 4-jarig gecastreerd reutje, hij is geboren in Roemenië en werd toen hij ca. 1 jaar oud was op straat gevangen door de beruchte ‘hondenvangers’ daar. Deze vangen tegen betaling zwerfhonden en brengen ze vervolgens naar een openbaar gemeenteasiel. Henkie is een lieve hond. Ondanks zijn omstandigheden is hij altijd blij; aandacht vindt hij heerlijk en hij is gek op mensen. Henkie is sociaal naar andere honden, alleen houdt hij niet zo van dominante reuen. Katten vindt hij prima. Wij zoeken voor Henkie liefdevolle baasjes die hem een heerlijk leven kunnen geven, iets wat hij zo verdient.

About Henkie

What life with Henkie looks like

Henkie is a large young adult dog waiting at Stichting AAI in Amsterdam.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Henkie, answered.

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