How do I contact the shelter about Lara?

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

Can I adopt Lara if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting AAI 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 Lara 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 Lara 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 AAI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lara 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.

Lara

Female · Young · 3 years

Lara, spayed teefje, 3 years, height approx 45-50 cm, foreign country. Background. Lara was found in the cold month of February this year in a ditch along a quiet road. She was clearly left in the middle of nowhere. The few times a car passed by, she looked hopefully up. Given the chain marks on her neck, she probably lay on the chain until she was dumped here. So she waited for two weeks for her owners. When our contact person found her there, she gave Lara food every day to gain her trust. And finally, she took her to her shelter, where Lara is now waiting for loving owners. Character. Lara is a kind, sensitive dog. Because she was left behind, she really wants attention and the feeling that someone loves her. She is social and uses her front paws as if they were hands and thus tries to give you a 'hug'. She is also friendly towards other dogs and prefers puppies. She quickly adapted to the other dogs in the kennel and is loving and cheerful there. Who will give Lara her golden bed?

Lara, gesteriliseerd teefje, 3 jaar, hoogte ca 45-50 cm, buitenland. Achtergrond. Lara werd in de koude februari maand van dit jaar gevonden in een greppel langs een stille weg. Ze was duidelijk achtergelaten in the middle of nowhere. De enkele keer dat er een auto langs kwam, keek ze hoopvol op. Gezien de kettingafdrukken in haar nek, heeft zij waarschijnlijk aan de ketting gelegen tot ze hier gedumpt werd. Zo heeft ze twee weken lang gewacht op haar baasjes. Toen onze contactpersoon haar daar ontdekt had, gaf ze Lara elke dag wat eten om haar vertrouwen te winnen. En tenslotte heeft ze haar meegenomen naar haar opvang, waar Lara nu wacht op liefdevolle baasjes. Karakter. Lara is een lieve, gevoelige hond. Omdat ze achtergelaten is, wil ze graag aandacht en het gevoel hebben dat iemand van haar houdt. Ze is sociaal en gebruikt haar voorpoten alsof het handen zijn en daarmee probeert ze je een ‘hug’ te geven. Ze is ook vriendelijk naar andere honden en heeft een voorkeur voor reutjes. Ze kon zich heel snel aan de andere honden in de kennel aanpassen en is daar lief en vrolijk. Wie geeft Lara haar gouden mandje?

About Lara

What life with Lara looks like

Lara is a large young adult dog waiting at Stichting AAI in Amsterdam.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
