Krisje

Male · Senior · 9 years

Krisje was a very insecure dog who has always lived in a field, he is now with us for a while and this is his description. If you want a loving watchdog who is good to you but won't let anyone in, Krisje is the ideal dog. He can live indoors and is then a normal, loving and affectionate, well-behaved dog. He is social with other dogs, particularly loyal to the people he loves and knows. He will go through fire for them. He won't let new visitors in unless he gets your permission, then it's fine. He guards his people and his house with heart and soul. People who are not part of his Family don't come in. He is a real Shepherd, loyal and obedient, has only 1 boss, 1 family. He is a dream dog for us, but not for strangers.

Krisje was een zeer onzekere hond die altijd op een terrein heeft geleefd, hij is nu een tijdje bij ons en dit is zijn beschrijving. Als je een lieve waakhond wil die goed is voor jou maar niemand binnen laat is Krisje de ideale hond. Hij kan in huis leven en is dan een normale lieve en aanhankelijke, goed luisterende hond. Hij is sociaal met andere honden, bijzonder trouw aan de mensen die hij lief heeft en kent. Hij gaat voor hen door een vuur. Hij zal nieuwe bezoekers niet binnen laten of hij moet jou toelating krijgen, dan is het goed. Hij bewaakt zijn mensen en zijn huis met hart en ziel. Mensen die niet tot zijn Familie behoren komen niet binnen. Hij is een echte Herder, trouw en gehoorzaam, heeft maar 1 baas, 1 familie. Hij is voor ons een droomhond, maar niet voor vreemden.

About Krisje

What life with Krisje looks like

Krisje is a senior dog waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Krisje, answered.

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