Honden ter adoptie

Female · Senior · 11 years

Tara is a beautiful girl. Tara is approximately 11 years old, with an estimated birth date of 16-05-2015, about 33 cm tall and weighs around 13 kg. Tara's story touches us deeply. Almost eight years ago, she came from Romania to the Netherlands. She found a wonderful home where she was loved for four years. Unfortunately, her owner developed health problems and could no longer care for her. Fortunately, we found a new loving family for her, where Tara was able to experience four beautiful years again. But sometimes life takes a different turn than planned. Due to a serious accident of her current owner, she can no longer be cared for. No one is to blame, and Tara is not. Yet, it breaks our hearts that she must say goodbye to her familiar home again. Despite everything, Tara remains a cheerful, sweet and loyal dog. She wants to do her best and loves to be busy with her owner. Especially when there is something delicious in it! 😄 She knows the basic commands like sit, lie down, come here and wait. Tara enjoys walks immensely. Going on an adventure together, sniffing new scents and being active together is something she loves. She can handle a longer walk. In addition, she is a wonderful housemate: she is clean, does not destroy anything in the house and can stay alone for a few hours without problems. Tara generally gets along well with other dogs. Only black dogs are a bit scary; presumably she had a less pleasant experience with them in the past. She lives peacefully with cats indoors. However, she finds cats very interesting outside and would love to chase them. In a quiet environment, Tara can run loose. In a busy environment, it is wise to keep her on a leash, as moving objects can attract her attention.

Dit prachtige meisje is Tara. Tara is ongeveer 11 jaar oud, heeft als geschatte geboortedatum 16-05-2015, is circa 33 cm hoog en weegt ongeveer 13 kilo. Tara's verhaal raakt ons diep. Bijna acht jaar geleden kwam ze vanuit Roemenië naar Nederland. Ze vond een geweldig thuis waar ze vier jaar lang geliefd was. Helaas kreeg haar baasje gezondheidsproblemen en kon daardoor niet langer voor haar zorgen. Gelukkig vonden we opnieuw een fijn gezin voor haar, waar Tara opnieuw vier mooie jaren heeft mogen beleven. Maar soms loopt het leven anders dan gepland. Door een ernstig ongeluk van haar huidige baasje kan er nu opnieuw niet meer voor haar gezorgd worden. Niemand treft hierin schuld, en al helemaal Tara niet. Toch breekt het ons hart dat zij opnieuw afscheid moet nemen van haar vertrouwde thuis. Ondanks alles is Tara een vrolijke, lieve en trouwe hond gebleven. Ze wil ontzettend graag haar best doen en vindt het heerlijk om samen met haar baas bezig te zijn. Vooral als er iets lekkers tegenover staat! 😄 Ze kent de basiscommando's zoals zit, lig, hier komen en wachten. Tara geniet enorm van wandelingen. Samen op ontdekkingstocht gaan, nieuwe geurtjes opsnuiven en lekker actief bezig zijn vindt ze geweldig. Ze kan dan ook prima een langere wandeling aan. Daarnaast is ze een heerlijke huisgenoot: ze is zindelijk, sloopt niets in huis en kan zonder problemen een paar uurtjes alleen thuis blijven. Met andere honden gaat Tara over het algemeen goed om. Alleen zwarte honden vindt ze wat spannend; vermoedelijk heeft ze daar in het verleden een minder fijne ervaring mee gehad. Binnen leeft ze rustig samen met katten. Buiten vindt ze katten echter erg interessant en zou ze er graag achteraan gaan. In een rustige omgeving kan Tara prima loslopen. In een drukke omgeving blijft aanlijnen verstandig, omdat bewegende objecten haar aandacht kunnen trekken.

About Honden ter adoptie

What life with Honden ter adoptie looks like

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

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇳🇱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.
