Adopt Kieks

Male · Young · 3 years

My name is Kieks and I am an extreme ultra snuggler! It's heavenly to be petted, and I will lie down and enjoy it thoroughly. I have to, because I snuggle for two! My girl is a bit more reserved and needs more time to trust. We are still a bit working on our diet and our stomachs. What treats, how many vegetables, etc., but that shouldn't hold you back from coming to snuggle with us!

Mijn naam is Kieks en ik ben een extreme ultra knuffelaar! Heerlijk om gekriebeld te worden, daar ga ik dan echt even goed voor liggen. Moet ook wel, want ik knuffel voor 2! Mijn meisje is namelijk wat schuwer en heeft langer de tijd nodig om te vertrouwen. We zijn nog een beetje bezig met ons dieet en onze maag. Welke brokjes, hoeveel groenten etc. Maar laat dat je niet tegenhouden om met ons te komen knuffelen!

About Kieks

What life with Kieks looks like

Kieks is a young adult dog waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Kieks, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kieks?
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 Kieks on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kieks 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 Kieks 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 Kieks 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 Kieks 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.
