Honden ter adoptie

Male · Adult · 6 years

This beautiful dog is named Albu. Albu is a male dog with a height of about 63 cm. His estimated birth date is August 2019. Albu was found on the street in the Romanian village of Sălacea. His coat was completely full of tangles, so badly that he could hardly see through the coat that had matted over his eyes. He clearly had been on the street for a long time. Not much remains of his front teeth (his molars are fine and look good!). He has scars all over his body. We don't want to think about what he has been through. At the animal shelter, Albu got the grooming he desperately needed. At first, he was full of distrust, but after the grooming not only did a beautiful dog appear, but also his wonderful character. It seems as if, with the removal of his coat, his worries were gone and we now see a very loving dog again. He asks for cuddles, enjoys the attention and is happy to see you again. He gets along well with other dogs. Walking on a leash went so well, he really enjoys it! We can't wait until his coat grows back so we can see how he should actually look. What he has experienced or where he comes from is unknown, so his future owners will have to take into account that he will need to adjust and learn new things. You will get a very grateful friend back. Albu is still in Romania and can come to the Netherlands if an owner is found for him. If you are interested in Albu, please send us a message with your living and work situation and any experience you have with dogs. After an intake conversation, if you are a match, an appointment can be made to pick him up at our small shelter in Didam. Albu is The adoption fee is € 390. This is a contribution to the costs such as spaying/neutering, the trip to the Netherlands, European pet passport, chip and vaccinations. Also read the adoption information and our adoption conditions. This animal is microchipped.

Deze mooie hond heet Albu. Albu is een reutje met een schofthoogte van ongeveer 63 cm. Zijn geschatte geboortedatum is augustus 2019. Albu is op straat gevonden in het Roemeense dorpje Sălacea. Zijn vacht was helemaal vol klitten, zo erg dat hij bijna niets meer kon zien door de vacht die voor zijn ogen geroeid was. Hij liep overduidelijk al een langere tijd op straat. Van zijn voortanden is niet veel meer over (zijn kiezen gelukkig wel en die zien er goed uit!) Hij heeft littekens over zijn lijf.. We willen er niet aan denken wat hij heeft meegemaakt. In het asiel kreeg Albu de knipbeurt die hij zo hard nodig had. En was hij eerst vol wantrouwen, na die knipbeurt kwam niet alleen een mooie hond tevoorschijn, maar ook zijn prachtige karakter. Het lijkt wel of er met het verwijderen van zijn vacht, ook zijn zorgen weg zijn en zien we een hele lieve hond er voor terug. Hij vraagt om knuffels, geniet van de aandacht en is blij om je weer te zien. Met de andere honden kan hij goed overweg. Het lopen aan de riem ging al zo goed, hij geniet er echt van! We kunnen niet wachten tot zijn vacht weer terug gegroeid is, om te zien hoe hij er eigenlijk uit had moeten zien. Wat hij meegemaakt heeft, of waar hij vandaan komt is niet bekend, dus zijn toekomstige baasjes zullen er rekening mee moeten houden dat hij moet wennen en nieuwe dingen zal moeten leren. Je krijgt er een hele dankbare vriend voor terug. Albu is nog in Roemenië en kan naar Nederland komen als er een baasje voor hem gevonden wordt. Mocht u interesse hebben in Albu dan ontvangen we graag een berichtje met uw woon- en werksituatie en eventuele ervaring met honden. Als na een intake gesprek blijkt dat jullie een match zijn, dan kan een afspraak gemaakt worden om hem op te halen in onze kleinschalige opvang in Didam. Albu is gecastreerd, 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 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.
