Kroket

Male · Puppy

Kroket, Pikanto and Loempia's mother was a small Podencootje who was found heavily pregnant in the middle of nowhere. Somewhere in a deserted area, all alone and without a safe place to give birth to her little ones. A couple with a big heart for animals took care of her and brought her home. Not long after, she gave birth there in complete safety to six puppies. The people looked after the little family with an enormous amount of love. But six growing pups naturally bring life into the house. They play, romp around and sometimes make noise. Unfortunately, the neighbors were not happy about this, so another solution had to be found. That's how Kroket, Pikanto and Loempia ended up with us. They grew up in a homey environment and can definitely become sweet and lovely family dogs later on. Still, they have a lot to learn. Until now, they mainly knew their foster family and the daily life in that one house. Now a whole new world is suddenly opening up for them, with unfamiliar people, sounds and situations. For the time being, they find all of this still exciting. They are insecure, but they are also social and curious. They want to make contact, but they still need to discover that they can trust other people too. Thanks to the daily attention they receive here, things are getting better step by step. Pikanto is the biggest rascal of the bunch. She has spirit, knows exactly what she wants and is clearly the most assertive. Kroket and Loempia are a bit more cautious and prefer to look at everything from a safe distance first. Three sweet puppies, each with their own character and all with a whole future ahead of them. We hope that each of them finds a patient owner who lets them blossom at their own pace, wants to explore the world together with them, and gives them all the time they need to grow into the wonderful dogs already hidden inside them!

De mama van Kroket, Pikanto en Loempia was een klein Podencootje, die hoogzwanger werd aangetroffen in the middle of nowhere. Ergens in een verlaten streek, helemaal alleen en zonder veilige plek om haar kleintjes ter wereld te brengen. Een echtpaar met een groot hart voor dieren ontfermde zich over haar en nam haar mee naar huis. Niet veel later beviel ze daar in alle veiligheid van zes pupjes. De mensen verzorgden het gezinnetje met ontzettend veel liefde. Maar zes opgroeiende kapoenen brengen natuurlijk leven in huis. Ze spelen, ravotten en maken weleens lawaai. De buren waren daar helaas niet blij mee en daarom moest er een andere oplossing worden gezocht. Zo kwamen Kroket, Picanto en Loempia bij ons terecht. Ze groeiden op in een huiselijke omgeving en kunnen later beslist lieve en fijne huishonden worden. Toch moeten ze nog veel leren. Tot nu toe kenden ze vooral hun opvangfamilie en het dagelijkse leven in dat ene huis. Nu gaat er plots een hele nieuwe wereld voor hen open, met onbekende mensen, geluiden en situaties. Voorlopig vinden ze dat allemaal nog spannend. Ze zijn onzeker, maar toch zijn ze ook sociaal en nieuwsgierig. Ze willen wel contact maken, alleen moeten ze nog ontdekken dat ze ook andere mensen kunnen vertrouwen. Dankzij de dagelijkse aandacht die ze hier nu krijgen, gaat het stapje voor stapje beter. Pikanto is de grootste deugniet van het stel. Ze heeft pit, weet goed wat ze wil en is duidelijk de meest assertieve. Kroket en Loempia zijn wat voorzichtiger en bekijken alles liever eerst van een veilige afstand. Drie lieve pupjes, elk met hun eigen karakter en allemaal met nog een hele toekomst voor zich. We hopen dat ze ieder een geduldig baasje vinden dat hen rustig laat openbloeien, samen met hen de wereld wil ontdekken en hen alle tijd geeft om uit te groeien tot de geweldige honden die al in hen verscholen zitten!

About Kroket

What life with Kroket looks like

Kroket is a large puppy dog waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇪🇸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 Kroket, answered.

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