How do I contact the shelter about Magic?

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

Can I adopt Magic if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis Zeist 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 Magic 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 Magic 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 Dierentehuis Zeist early rather than rehoming privately; they know Magic 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.

Adopt Magic

Greyhound · Male · Young · 1 year

No, No, No, No, Yes, Alone at home: yes after acclimation, In the car: yes. Sex: male dog. Breed: Greyhound x Whippet. Age: 29-07-2024. Sought: Greyhound expert for our charming 'clown' Magic! Meet Magic, a magnificent Greyhound x Whippet mix with a heart of gold and the legs of an athlete. Magic was born on July 29, 2024, making him a young, energetic teen ready to explore the world (together with you). A rough diamond with a backpack Magic has unfortunately fallen behind in his socialization during his young life. Because of this, he sometimes finds the world a bit exciting and doesn't always know how to react to other animals; he can snap. Therefore, we're looking for an owner who not only stands firm on their feet but also speaks the language of greyhounds. With the right guidance, patience, and a positive approach, Magic will grow into the wonderful companion that lies within him. Character: Clumsy, loving, and absolutely shy. At first, Magic looks like the cat from the tree at strangers. But once you have his trust? Then you have a friend for life who loves nothing more than snuggling. Magic is a real greyhound: outside he's a lightning-fast athlete who enjoys long walks and mental challenges, but inside he can turn into a lovely clumsy 'clown' on four long legs. His concentration is currently at teenager level, so a good dose of humor and patience is essential! Is there a match? Due to his strong prey drive and reactivity towards other dogs, Magic has some specific requirements for his new home: No other pets. Quiet environment: A household without children, where he has the space to settle at his own pace, preferably in a quiet residential area. Active owner: Someone who understands that a greyhound needs both physical exercise and mental challenge. Patience & Experience: You are willing to invest time in his further socialization and training. Are you the sporty and patient match that Magic is looking for? We believe that Magic will become a fantastic housemate with the right guidance. Do you have a spot free in your heart and your home for this handsome guy?

Kan bij katten: neeKan bij andere honden: neeKan bij kleine kinderen: neeKan bij grote kinderen: neeKan alleen thuis zijn: na gewenningKan in de auto: ja. Geslacht: reu. Ras: Greyhound x WhippetLeeftijd: 29-07-2024Gezocht: Windhonden-kenner voor onze charmante ‘clown’ Magic! Maak kennis met Magic, een prachtige Greyhound x Whippet-kruising met een hart van goud en de poten van een atleet. Magic is geboren op 29 juli 2024, wat hem een jonge, energieke puber maakt die klaar staat om (samen met jou) de wereld te gaan ontdekken.Een ruwe diamant met een rugzakjeMagic heeft in zijn jonge leven helaas een achterstand opgelopen in zijn socialisatie. Hierdoor vindt hij de wereld soms nog een beetje spannend en weet hij niet altijd hoe hij op andere dieren moet reageren; hij kan uitvallen. We zoeken voor hem daarom een baasje dat niet alleen stevig in de schoenen staat, maar ook de taal van windhonden spreekt. Met de juiste sturing, geduld en een positieve aanpak zal Magic uitgroeien tot de geweldige kameraad die in hem schuilt.Karakter: Lomp, lief en absoluut verlegenIn het begin kijkt Magic even de kat uit de boom bij vreemden. Maar heb je eenmaal zijn vertrouwen? Dan heb je een vriend voor het leven die niets liever doet dan uitgebreid knuffelen.Magic is een echte windhond: buiten is hij een razendsnelle atleet die geniet van lange wandelingen en hersenwerkjes, maar binnen kan hij veranderen in een heerlijk onhandige ‘clown’ op vier lange stelten. Zijn concentratie is momenteel nog op puber-niveau, dus een flinke dosis humor en geduld zijn onmisbaar!Is er een match?Vanwege zijn sterke jachtinstinct en zijn reactiviteit naar andere honden, stelt Magic wat specifieke eisen aan zijn nieuwe plekje:Geen andere huisdieren.Rustige omgeving: Een huishouden zonder kinderen, waar hij de ruimte krijgt om op zijn eigen tempo te landen, bij voorkeur in een rustig woongebied.Actieve eigenaar: Iemand die begrijpt dat een windhond zowel fysieke beweging als mentale uitdaging nodig heeft.Geduld & Ervaring: Je bent bereid om tijd te steken in zijn verdere socialisatie en training.Ben jij de sportieve en geduldige match die Magic zoekt? Wij geloven dat Magic met de juiste begeleiding een fantastische huisgenoot wordt. Heb jij een plekje vrij in je hart en je huis voor deze knappe kerel?

About Magic

What life with Magic looks like

Magic is a small young adult greyhound dog waiting at Dierentehuis Zeist in AA Austerlitz.

An 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.
