Kimmy

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Kimmy: a sweet, loyal and uncertain 2-year-old female who is looking for a forever home. Kimmy originally comes from Romania and was taken in by a man. He could no longer care for her and the other dogs, so she came to us and we are now helping her find a forever home. Kimmy is a girl who is quite uncertain. She is reserved with new people and finds many things exciting during walks. But we see here that she opens up quickly to us and then we see a very different dog. She loves her regular caregivers and comes to you for a hug. She also seeks more contact with you and wants to do her best for you. She also loves food and this may help with training to get used to things. Kimmy is very loyal and will just stand or sit next to you waiting when you are busy and just loves 1 or 2 owners she can give her heart to. Kimmy has always lived with her brother and other dogs and loves being with them. She gets a lot of support from them and that's why we are looking for a home for her where there is already another stable dog. So that she has support there, but also can play with them from time to time. We have looked at how she reacts to cats and she ignores them. Because Kimmy still has a lot of uncertainties, we do not place her in a family with children. She just needs peace and stability. We also think that a busy environment is too much of a good thing, like in the middle of the city, a quiet place fits better with her. So we are looking for sweet and experienced people who give this girl a chance. Who already have a dog and help her overcome her uncertainties and then get a nice lady back!

Kimmy: een lief, trouw en onzeker dametje van 2 jaar jong die opzoek is naar een gouden mandje. Kimmy komt oorspronkelijk uit Roemenië en is toen bij een meneer komen wonen. Hij kon niet langer voor haar en de andere honden zorgen en zodoende is o.a. zij bij ons gekomen en gaan wij haar nu helpen zoeken naar een gouden mandje. Kimmy is een meisje die best wat onzeker is. Naar nieuwe mensen is zij terughoudend en ook tijdens het wandelen vindt zij nog veel dingen spannend. Maar we zien hier dat zij zich best snel openstelde naar ons en dan zien we ook een heel ander hondje tevoorschijn komen. Zij is gek op haar vaste verzorgers en komt dan ook graag bij je voor een knuffel. Ook zoekt ze dan meer contact met je en wil dan ook wel haar best voor je doen. Zij is ook gek op voer en mogelijk kan dit goed helpen met de training om te wennen aan dingen. Kimmy is dan ook heel trouw en gaat gewoon naast je staan of zitten wachten als je dan even bezig bent en houdt gewoon van 1 of 2 baasjes waar ze haar hart aan kan geven. Kimmy heeft altijd samengeleefd met haar broertje en andere honden en vindt het heel fijn om bij ze te zijn. Zij haalt veel steun uit ze en daarom zoeken wij voor haar een huisje waar al een andere stabiele hond is. Zodat ze hier steun aan heeft, maar ook af en toe lekker mee kan spelen. We hebben gekeken hoe ze hier op katten reageert en die negeert ze. Omdat Kimmy nog veel onzekerheden heeft, plaatsen we haar niet in een gezin met kinderen. Zij heeft gewoon rust en stabiliteit nodig. Ook denken wij dat een drukke omgeving teveel is van het goede, zoals midden in de stad, een rustige plek past beter bij haar. Voor Kimmy zoeken wij dus lieve en ervaren mensen die dit meisje een kans geven. Die al een hond hebben en haar helpen om haar onzekerheden te overwinnen en er dan een leuke dame voor terug krijgen!

About Kimmy

What life with Kimmy looks like

Kimmy is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen in Netherlands.

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 Kimmy, answered.

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