Koekie

Chihuahua · Male · Senior · 12 years

Onze lieve kleine Koekie, wat een schatje en wat vindt hij het heerlijk om te knuffelen. Koekie is bij ons gekomen omdat er niet goed voor hem gezorgd werd. Hij moest buiten in een bench zitten, dag en nacht en dat kan echt niet voor een hondje van dit formaat. Koekie is echt ontzettend klein, maar heel dapper. Hij kwam bij ons binnen met een kale achterkant, dat was ook de reden dat de mensen hem “vies” vonden en een dubbele oorontsteking. Onze lieve dierenarts heeft gelijk een plekje voor hem vrij gemaakt en heeft zijn oortjes behandeld. Deze klachten zijn nu volledig over. Zijn anaalklieren waren vol, dat was de reden van het haaruitval aan zijn achterkantje. Koekie was dus gewoon verwaarloosd. Wij hebben ook zijn entingen weer in orde gemaakt en hij ontpopt zich nu als een superlief en dankbaar kereltje. Nu is het ook voor hem tijd om zijn eigen gouden mandje te vinden en dit keer voor altijd. Koekie heeft nog zoveel te geven. Heb jij tijd en plek in je huis, maar vooral in je hart? Neem dan contact met ons op. Koekie wacht vol spanning! Bel: 06-50800245 of vul het formulier in:

About Koekie

What life with Koekie looks like

Koekie is a small senior chihuahua dog waiting at Stichting Huis voor Dieren in Netherlands.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇳🇱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 Koekie, answered.

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