How do I contact the shelter about JOSIE?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw JOSIE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt JOSIE if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa 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 JOSIE 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 JOSIE 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 Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa early rather than rehoming privately; they know JOSIE 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.

JOSIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

I sound tough, don't I? Well, that's true to some extent. I'm a 2-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier (probably born in 2024), a sturdy girl with a cheerful look, a big heart and that typical Stafford appearance: powerful on the outside, soft on the inside. I'm currently staying at an animal shelter in Spain. I ended up there after being found. No one came to pick me up. No one said, "That's mine." So now I'm waiting for people who will say that. My ears have been cropped. That's not natural, and it might tell something about my past. Don't let that scare you off. I'm much more than my appearance. Behind that tough head is an incredibly sweet, cheerful and affectionate dog who loves being with her people. As a true Stafford, I'm people-oriented, loyal and love attention. Staffords are known for their strong bond with their owners, their enthusiasm and their sensitive nature. We're not just pets; we want to be part of your life. Let's go for a walk together.

Klinkt stoer hè?Nou, dat klopt ook wel een beetje. Ik ben een Staffie van nu 2 jaar oud (vermoedelijk geboren in 2024), een stevige meid met een vrolijke blik, een groot hart en zo’n typische Stafford-uitstraling: krachtig van buiten, zacht van binnen. Ik verblijf nu in het asiel in Spanje. Daar ben ik terechtgekomen nadat ik gevonden ben. Niemand kwam mij ophalen. Niemand zei: “Die hoort bij mij.” Dus nu wacht ik op mensen die dat wél willen zeggen. Mijn oortjes zijn gecoupeerd. Dat hoort natuurlijk niet, en het vertelt misschien iets over mijn verleden. Llaat je daardoor niet afschrikken. Ik ben veel meer dan mijn uiterlijk. Achter die stoere kop zit een ontzettend lieve, vrolijke en aanhankelijke hond die graag bij haar mensen is. Als echte Stafford ben ik mensgericht, loyaal en gek op aandacht. Staffords staan bekend om hun sterke band met hun baas, hun enthousiasme en hun gevoelige karakter. We zijn geen honden voor erbij; we willen graag onderdeel zijn van je leven. Samen wandele

About JOSIE

What life with JOSIE looks like

JOSIE is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa in —.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
