Jo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hi, I'm Jo, I originally come from Greece. Unfortunately, I couldn't settle well with my foster family and ended up at Het Huis van de Dieren. I am a sensitive, modest but cheerful man. ... Walking is really great! I enjoy all the smells, the mud under my paws and just the act of walking itself. I am reserved towards people I don't know, but with the people I trust I am social and affectionate. As a young dog I had little socialization, which means the outside world is still exciting and new for me. That takes time, attention and experience to learn step by step. If you give me the chance, I can be a wonderful companion. Walking together, playing and enjoying the outdoors: that's fantastic! 💛

Hoi, ik ben Jo, ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Griekenland. Ik kon helaas niet goed aarden bij mijn opvanggezin en ben daarom bij Het Huis van de Dieren terechtgekomen. Ik ben een gevoelig, bescheiden maar vrolijke man. ... Wandelen vind ik echt geweldig! Ik geniet van alle geuren, de modder onder mijn voetjes en gewoon het lopen zelf. Ik ben terughoudend tegenover mensen die ik niet ken, maar met de mensen die ik vertrouw ben ik sociaal en aanhankelijk. Ik heb als jonge hond weinig socialisatie gehad, waardoor de buitenwereld voor mij nog steeds spannend en nieuw is. Dat vraagt tijd, aandacht en ervaring om het stap voor stap te leren. Als je me de kans geeft, kan ik een heerlijke kameraad zijn. Samen wandelen, spelen en genieten van de buitenlucht: dat vind ik fantastisch! 💛

About Jo

What life with Jo looks like

Jo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Het Huis van de Dieren in Netherlands.

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 Jo, answered.

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