How do I contact the shelter about Lala?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Straydogs Rescue Nederland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lala on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lala if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Straydogs Rescue Nederland 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 Lala 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 Lala 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 Straydogs Rescue Nederland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lala 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.

Lala

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

For a detailed explanation, please read Why We Are Cautious About Placing Our Dogs with Families with Young Children. Information: Starting in May 2026, a few of our team members spent a week visiting Elisa's animal shelter in Romania, with which we work closely. Only the dogs we expect to be happy in the Netherlands—and their adopters with the dog—are facilitated by us. Lala definitely fits this description! This girl was taken from the home of addicts along with her brothers and sisters and their mother, Emily. The dogs were not safe there and were not cared for. We got to know this little family, the pups, and their mother during our visit to Elisa’s animal shelter in May. We work closely with this animal shelter and visit it a few times a year. The mother dog is a medium-sized dog, roughly the size of a Labrador Retriever. We expect this pup to also be about this size, but because the size and genes of the father are unknown, it could be different. Lala is a pup who, despite growing up in a crowded Romanian animal shelter, is still happy and open in life. How she will develop is hard to predict; however, we can always ask for an update from Elisa. The sooner she can leave the animal shelter and be welcomed and guided into a nice home in the Netherlands, the greater the chance that she will adapt relatively easily to her new life as a beloved house dog. Of course, the transition is large, which means that the first period will require a lot of calm, patience, and small steps to ensure she is not overwhelmed by all the new impressions. The video below and the video at the bottom of her page give a good idea of her. Also, the mother dog, Emily, is visible in the video.

Informatie: Begin mei 2026 is een aantal van onze teamleden een week lang op bezoek bij Elisa's asiel in Roemenië, waarmee we nauw samenwerken. Alleen de honden waarvan we verwachten dat ze gelukkig zullen worden in Nederland - en hun adoptanten met de hond - worden door ons bemiddeld. Lala hoort daar zeker bij! Dit meisje is samen met haar broertjes en zusjes en hun moeder Emily uit het huis van verslaafden gehaald. De honden waren daar niet veilig en werden niet verzorgd. We leerden dit gezinnetje, de pups en hun moeder, kennen tijdens ons bezoek aan Elisa’s asiel begin mei. We werken nauw samen met dit asiel en bezoeken het een aantal keer per jaar. De moederhond is een grotere middenmaat, ongeveer het formaat van een Labrador Retriever. We verwachten dat deze pup ook ongeveer zo groot zal worden, maar omdat het formaat en de genen van de vader niet bekend zijn, kan dit ook anders uitpakken.

About Lala

What life with Lala looks like

Lala is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Straydogs Rescue Nederland in RC Nieuwe Pekela.

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 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.
