Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Very sweet, a real cuddle bum, good with children and good with other dogs. Laika is looking for a new home! Laika, born February 2021, comes from Romania but has been living in the Netherlands for years. Laika is really lovely, a true cuddle bum, gets along well with other dogs, and is also good with children. Laika also loves being outside, but at her new home she needs to stay inside more because the situation there is very different: she sees a lot more and barks. So right now she is inside more, which she is not happy about. Laika loves spending lots of time outdoors too. Who has a place for her? Laika is staying in Brunssum (South Limburg). If you want more info and to get to know Laika, email us. Who will she be able to live with?

About Laika

What life with Laika looks like

Laika is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Rescani in NL-wide.

An 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 Laika, answered.

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