Kiko

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Kiko was rescued from the streets 2.5 years ago as a puppy along with his mother and sister. Unfortunately, you can't save them all. The puppies went into foster care and later to a boarding facility. However, help from rescue organizations never came. Debts mounted and, unfortunately, they had to leave. They were shuffled from one place to another. For now, there is a slightly more permanent solution. It's high time for a warm bed. Kiko is a big dog weighing at least 30+ kg. Do you have a spot on the couch for Kiko?

Kiko werd 2,5 jaar geleden van de straat gered als pup zijnde samen met zijn moeder en boer en zus. Helaas kun je ze niet allemaal redden. De pups kwam in foster terecht en later zijn ze in pension gekomen. Hulp van rescuer organisaties bleef echter uit. Schulden liepen op en erg genoeg moesten ze daar weg. Van de ene naar de andere plek werden ze geschoven. Voor nu is er weer een iets permanentere oplossing. De hoogste tijd voor een warme mand. Kiko is een flinke hond met minimaal 30+ kg. Heb jij een plekje vrij op de bank voor Kiko?

About Kiko

What life with Kiko looks like

Kiko is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Dogs on a Journey in Netherlands.

A 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kiko, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kiko?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dogs on a Journey handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kiko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kiko if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Dogs on a Journey 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Kiko 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 Kiko 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 Dogs on a Journey early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kiko 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.
