Lotus

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Lotus: a friendly, cheerful and slightly stubborn boy of almost 1 year old who is looking for a golden basket. Lotus was brought to a killing station in Spain by his owners. Luckily, he was rescued from there and this boy recently came to us and we can help him find a golden basket! Lotus is a friendly and cheerful boy who enjoys a cuddle. He can also entertain himself and enjoy his own thing and also enjoy the walk and all the scents to discover! Lotus is a bit stubborn and if you value this, it's also very funny about him. He can really look at you 'I hear you, but wait a minute'. Lotus is very social with dogs and knows the dog language perfectly. He can't get along with cats, so we don't place him with a cat. Given his age, of course, he will have to learn a lot, but given his character, we expect him to pick it up quickly! A young, busy family seems less suitable for him, but older children will not be a problem for him. For Lotus, we are looking for nice people who will go on an adventure with him, learn all kinds of things and just enjoy him!

Lotus: een vriendelijke, vrolijke en tikje eigenwijze knul van bijna 1 jaar jong die opzoek is naar een gouden mandje. Lotus is in Spanje door zijn baasjes naar een dodingsstation gebracht. Gelukkig is hij daar weggehaald en is deze knul recent bij ons gekomen en mogen wij hem helpen zoeken naar een gouden mandje! Lotus is een vriendelijk en vrolijk knul die geniet van een knuffel. Hij kan ook zichzelf prima vermaken en kan lekker zijn eigen ding doen en ook erg genieten van de wandeling en alle geuren die er te ontdekken zijn! Lotus is een tikje eigenwijs en als je dit waardeert, is dat ook erg grappig aan hem. Hij kan je namelijk ook echt even aankijken van ‘ik hoor je wel, maar momentje’. Lotus is erg sociaal met honden en kent de hondentaal keurig. Met katten kan hij het niet vinden en daarom plaatsen we hem niet bij een kat. Gezien zijn leeftijd zal hij natuurlijk nog het een en ander moeten leren, maar gezien zijn karakter verwachten we dat hij dit snel oppakt! Een jong, druk gezin lijkt ons wat minder geschikt voor hem, maar wat oudere kinderen zal geen probleem voor hem zijn. Voor Lotus zoeken wij de leuke mensen die lekker met hem op pad gaan, allerhande dingen gaan leren en gewoon erg van hem gaan genieten!

About Lotus

What life with Lotus looks like

Lotus is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen in Netherlands.

A young 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 Lotus, answered.

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