There she is not in a cage, but lives outside and can come and go as she pleases. You can see it on the photos, there is grass, there are trees, she has space to wander around. There are doghouses everywhere where she can go if she wants to hide or sleep. She is not alone, she has company from more dogs. Previously, she was in another animal shelter, in a much too small space, where the poor girl just walked around all day. Fortunately, she is now away from there, and she is much better off.

Rhea is een mooie herdershond, een lieve dame van ongeveer 4 jaar oud. Ze wordt nu opgevangen in het open asiel van SOS Dogs in Sisterea. Daar zit ze niet in een hok, maar ze leeft buiten en kan gaan en staan waar ze wil. Je ziet het op de foto’s, er is gras, er zijn bomen, ze heeft de ruimte om rond te struinen. Er staan overal hondenhokjes waar ze in kan als ze wil schuilen of slapen. Ze is er niet alleen, ze heeft gezelschap van nog meer honden. Hiervoor zat ze in een ander asiel, in een veel te kleine ruimte, waar de arme meid de hele dag alleen maar rondjes liep. Gelukkig is ze daar weg, en heeft ze het al veel beter. Maar we gunnen haar een nog veel mooier hondenleven, ze verdient een fijne plek bij mensen thuis. Ze is graag bij de verzorgers in de buurt en als het kan volgt ze ze op de voet. Ze is heel aanhankelijk en gaat makkelijk naar nieuwe mensen toe en is superlief. Ze heeft echt het karakter van een herder, ze is waaks en beschermend en zal een baasje nodig hebben die met haar wil werken. Ze zal vast en zeker voor haar baas door het vuur gaan. Ze is een trouwe viervoeter die heel veel liefde te geven heeft. Rhea is nog in Roemenië maar kan binnenkort naar Nederland komen. Mocht u interesse hebben in Rhea, dan ontvangen we graag een berichtje met uw woon- en werkituatie en eventuele ervaring met honden. Als na een intake gesprek blijkt dat jullie een match zijn, dan kan een afspraak gemaakt worden om haar op te halen in onze kleinschalige opvang in Didam. Rhea is gesteriliseerd, gevaccineerd, gechipt en heeft een Europees dierenpaspoort. Het adoptiebedrag is € 390,-. Dit is een tegemoetkoming in de kosten zoals o.a. sterilisatie/castratie, de reis naar Nederland, Europees dierenpaspoort, chip en entingen.

About Honden ter adoptie

What life with Honden ter adoptie looks like

Honden ter adoptie is a small adult dog waiting at SOS Dogs Nederland in NN Didam.

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 Honden ter adoptie, answered.

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