Adopt Lea

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Hi, I'm Lea, I originally come from Greece. I was once with an adoptive family, but due to circumstances I had to leave there unfortunately. ... I am a beautiful dog to look at and also a very nice dog in terms of interaction. I like to do well and can be well guided in things I find difficult. I tend to attach myself to someone and am very devoted. I have confidence and a strong will of my own. I don't share my food so much, but that's naturally manageable. I love water, walking, sleeping and being together nicely. With people I know, especially adults, I get along well. Dogs I know I also find fine. I was recently adopted again, but unfortunately had to come back due to circumstances. They prefer to explain this verbally, you can be informed by phone about this.

Hoi, ik ben Lea, Ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Griekenland. Ik ben ooit bij een adoptiegezin geweest, maar door omstandigheden moest ik daar helaas weer weg. ... Ik ben een prachtige hond om te zien en ook een hele fijne hond in de omgang. Ik doe het graag goed en kan goed begeleid worden in dingen die ik moeilijk vind. Ik hecht me graag aan iemand en ben erg aanhankelijk. Ik heb zelfvertrouwen en een sterke eigen wil. Mijn eten deel ik niet zo graag, maar dat is natuurlijk goed te managen. Ik ben dol op water, wandelen, slapen en lekker samen zijn. Met mensen die ik ken, vooral volwassenen, kan ik goed overweg. Honden die ik ken vind ik ook prima. Ik ben recent nog geadopteerd geweest, maar ben helaas door omstandigheden teruggekomen. Dat willen ze liever mondeling toelichten, hierover kun je telefonisch geïnformeerd worden.

About Lea

What life with Lea looks like

Lea is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Het Huis van de Dieren in Netherlands.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lea, answered.

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