How do I contact the shelter about Leo?

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

Can I adopt Leo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Het Dierenhuis 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 Leo 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 Leo 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 Het Dierenhuis early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leo 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.

Leo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Leo is a young dog just one and a half years old. Despite his young age, he has already experienced quite a lot. In a period of about three months, he has had no less than five different homes. That is an enormous amount of change in a short time and that is why it is extra important for Leo to find a place where he can finally build up rest, stability and trust. Leo is a nice dog to people. He is friendly and can get along well with people. He listens reasonably well and with the right guidance he can grow a lot further in this. Leo especially needs clear, quiet guidance and a master who gives him the time to calm down. Unfortunately, Leo cannot live with other dogs. That is why we are looking for a home for him where he is the only dog. A quiet living environment would also suit him very well, because he can get nervous quickly and benefits from a predictable environment. Leo also finds it exciting in the car. He can get nervous in it and will probably need time and guidance to gain more confidence in this. Leo can already be alone for a while. Because we do not know if there is separation anxiety, it is important that this is built up calmly and that his new master pays close attention to signs of stress when he is left alone. We are looking for a stable and quiet home for Leo where he can finally stay. A master with patience, understanding and the willingness to work with him on trust and self-confidence. ✓ Only 1.5 years old ✓ Listens reasonably ✓ Quiet living environment desired ✓ Can already be alone for a while ✓ Finds car rides exciting ✓ Needs rest, stability and predictability Leo has experienced a lot of changes in a short time. Now he deserves a place where he does not have to search anymore. ❤️🐾 Are you the one who can finally give him that safe, stable basis he is so in need of?

Leo is een jonge hond van slechts anderhalf jaar oud. Ondanks zijn jonge leeftijd heeft hij al behoorlijk wat meegemaakt. In een periode van ongeveer drie maanden heeft hij maar liefst vijf verschillende huizen gehad. Dat is ontzettend veel verandering in korte tijd en daarom is het voor Leo extra belangrijk dat hij nu een plek vindt waar hij eindelijk rust, stabiliteit en vertrouwen kan opbouwen. Naar mensen toe is Leo een fijne hond. Hij is vriendelijk en kan prima met mensen overweg. Hij luistert redelijk goed en met de juiste begeleiding kan hij hierin nog veel verder groeien. Leo heeft vooral behoefte aan duidelijke, rustige begeleiding en een baasje dat hem de tijd geeft om tot rust te komen. Met andere honden kan Leo helaas niet samenleven. Daarom zoeken we voor hem een thuis waar hij de enige hond is. Een rustige woonomgeving zou daarnaast erg goed bij hem passen, omdat hij snel zenuwachtig kan worden en gebaat is bij een voorspelbare omgeving. Ook in de auto vindt Leo het nog spannend. Hij kan hierin zenuwachtig zijn en zal waarschijnlijk tijd en begeleiding nodig hebben om hier meer vertrouwen in te krijgen. Leo kan al even alleen zijn. Omdat we niet weten of er sprake is van verlatingsangst, is het belangrijk dat dit rustig wordt opgebouwd en dat zijn nieuwe baas goed let op signalen van stress wanneer hij alleen wordt gelaten. Voor Leo zoeken we vooral een stabiel en rustig thuis waar hij eindelijk mag blijven. Een baasje met geduld, begrip en de bereidheid om samen met hem aan vertrouwen en zelfverzekerdheid te werken. ✓ Pas 1,5 jaar oud ✓ Luistert redelijk ✓ Rustige woonomgeving gewenst ✓ Kan al even alleen zijn ✓ Auto rijden vindt hij spannend ✓ Heeft behoefte aan rust, stabiliteit en voorspelbaarheid Leo heeft in korte tijd al veel veranderingen meegemaakt. Nu verdient hij vooral een plek waar hij niet meer verder hoeft te zoeken. ❤️🐾 Ben jij degene die hem eindelijk die veilige, stabiele basis kan geven waar hij zo aan toe is?

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Het Dierenhuis in Netherlands.

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.
