Joep

Rottweiler · Male · Young · 2 years

Ik ben Joep, en ik hou niet zo van in de schijnwerpers staan. Ik heb ook in mijn korte leven al een hele reis achter de rug, ik ben namelijk gevonden in een bestelbusje. Daar was het donker, en er waren allemaal enge geluiden, brrr! Ik vergeet die tijd liever... Nu is het tijd voor een nieuw hoofdstuk, maar ik vind het nog moeilijk om mijzelf een beetje te verkopen... Ik denk dat ik een rustig huisje wel fijn zal vinden. Ergens waar er niet te veel van mij wordt verwacht, waar ik in alle rust mag bijkomen. Ik ben nog jong, dus met de juiste begeleiding denk ik dat ik wel wat meer uit mijn schulp kan komen. Wie heeft er een rustig plekje voor mij, en wilt mij helpen met mijn zelfvertrouwen?

About Joep

What life with Joep looks like

Joep is a young adult rottweiler cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇳🇱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 Joep, answered.

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