Hugo

Podenco · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Asiel Tenerife (Sabine): Input 19oktober 2026: Hugo kwam bij ons direct van een jager. Alweer een ongewenst nestje dat weg moest, en wel zo snel mogelijk. 5 prachtige hondjes die gelukkig geen trauma’s of een naar verleden hebben en die hier met liefde zullen opgroeien totdat ze van het echte hondenleventje kunnen gaan genieten, buiten de tralies van het asiel.Ze zijn natuurlijk nog erg jong om een goede karakter beschrijving te geven maar Hugo springt er tussen uit met zijn prachtige, donkere chocokleurige vachtje en zijn "eyeliner". Met één blik...springt hij in je hartje! Hij is voor nu, de rustigste van deze mooie familie. Je kan hem niet blijer maken dan door hem in je armen te laten hangen of op schoot te zitten. Een knuffeltje vindt hij leuk maar als hij kan kiezen gaat hij voor de rust en warmte die alleen een paar armen kunnen bieden. Hugo is niet schrikachtig en hij geniet van het gezelschap van zijn broertje en zusjes. Nieuwe indrukken en geluiden laat hij rustig over zich heen komen. Je ziet hem dan denken, vaak gaat hij er zelfs even bij zitten, en dan bestudeert hij de situatie met een nieuwsgierig koppie om uiteindelijk huppelend en zelfverzekerd op onderzoek uit te gaan. Geweldig om te zien hoe hij met de dag groeit, letterlijk en figuurlijk.We hopen dat dit lieve ventje snel door een eigen familie wordt opgemerkt zodat hij, zodra hij ingeënt is over een paar weekjes, meteen kan gaan genieten van het echte hondenleventje, thuis!

About Hugo

What life with Hugo looks like

Hugo is a small puppy podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇳🇱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 Hugo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hugo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. description handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hugo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hugo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — description 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Hugo 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 Hugo 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 description early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hugo 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.
