Adopt Kesh

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Reserved / shelter found with an adoption option * for an explanation, please read Why we are cautious about placing foreign dogs with families with (small) children. Kesh has a shoulder height of 55 cm, which is approximately the size of a Friesian Sheepdog or a Border Collie. Character: Kesh is a very loving young dog, a playful and affectionate cuddle bottom. He loves to bring a lot of love and cheerfulness! Behavior at home: Kesh is very affectionate, gentle and loving and he loves to be cuddled and tickled by his people. He likes to lie against you or preferably on your lap. He plays very well with the other dog in his foster family. He is also social towards the cat. Visits are still a bit exciting for Kesh. With good guidance, he will certainly gain more confidence; he is still young and likes to learn. Kesh receives a lot of support from his people and also from the example of the other dog in situations where he is unsure. Together with the other dog, he can already be alone at home for a while. Of course, this can only start in a new home after a period of adaptation.

Gereserveerd / opvang gevonden met een optie op adoptie * voor een toelichting, lees Waarom wij voorzichtig zijn met het plaatsen van buitenlandse honden bij gezinnen met (kleine) kinderen alstublieft. Kesh heeft een schouderhoogte van 55 cm, dat is ongeveer het formaat van een Friese Stabij of een Border Collie. Karakter: Kesh is een erg lieve jonge hond, een speelse en aanhankelijke knuffelkont. Hij komt graag veel liefde en vrolijkheid brengen! Gedrag in huis: Kesh is heel aanhankelijk, zachtaardig en lief en hij vindt het zalig om door zijn mensen gekroeld en gekriebeld te worden. Hij ligt graag tegen je aan of liefst op schoot. Hij speelt heel graag met de andere hond in zijn gastgezin. Ook naar de kat toe is hij sociaal. Bezoek is voor Kesh nog wat spannend. Met goede begeleiding zal hij zeker meer (zelf)vertrouwen opbouwen; hij is nog jong en leert graag. Kesh ervaart in situaties waarin hij onzeker is veel steun van zijn mensen en ook van het voorbeeld van de andere hond. Samen met de andere hond kan hij al goed een tijdje alleen thuis zijn. Natuurlijk kan daarmee in een nieuw thuis pas na een periode van gewenning worden gestart.

About Kesh

What life with Kesh looks like

Kesh is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Straydogs Rescue Nederland in RC Nieuwe Pekela.

An young 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 Kesh, answered.

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