Marly

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Marly is a 5-year-old Rottweiler. She comes from a background where she was not used to much, and she has also enjoyed her tasty food a little too much. That is why she has started losing weight with us, and her new owner will help her continue this healthy path. For Marly, we are looking for someone with experience with powerful dog breeds. At first she can sometimes find new people a bit intimidating, but once she trusts you, she turns into a dog who loves to come and cuddle. On the leash she can be quite strong, and she keeps a close eye on her surroundings. Marly also needs clarity and boundaries. We are looking for a home for Marly without cats and preferably with older children.

NL·Show original

Marly is een Rottweiler van 5 jaar oud. Ze komt uit een situatie waarin ze niet veel gewend is en daarnaast heeft ze iets té veel genoten van lekker eten. Daarom is ze bij ons gestart met afvallen, maar haar nieuwe baasje zal haar helpen om deze gezonde weg voort te zetten. Voor Marly zoeken we iemand met ervaring met krachtige hondenrassen. Nieuwe mensen vindt ze in het begin soms wat spannend, maar zodra ze je vertrouwt, verandert ze in een hond die graag komt knuffelen. Aan de riem kan ze behoorlijk sterk zijn en ze houdt haar omgeving goed in de gaten. Ook heeft Marly duidelijkheid en grenzen nodig. We zoeken voor Marly een thuis zonder katten en bij voorkeur oudere kinderen.

About Marly

What life with Marly looks like

Marly is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marly, answered.

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