Melle

Chihuahua · Female · Adult · 7 years

Melle is a treasure, but she's not in the right place right now. It's too crowded for her. The family she's with now has 5 dogs, and she doesn't feel comfortable there. She's actually very fond of other dogs, but only 1 or 2 is enough. Being alone is also not an option, as she feels very lonely then. She can be with children from around 6 years old, mainly because of her small size. She is also very affectionate, easy-going, and you can take her anywhere. Men also find her great; her previous owner was a man, but due to illness, she had to find a new home. Who can offer our beautiful Melle a golden home? She will love you so much and be very grateful for a bit of attention. She also enjoys nice walks, where she can go out calmly and listen well. If you want a lifelong companion and want to explore the world with her, leave a message for Melle. Call: 06-50800245 or fill out the form:

Melle is een schatje, maar zit nu niet op de goede plek. Het is te druk voor haar. Het gezinnetje waar ze nu is heeft 5 hondjes en daar voelt ze zich niet comfortabel bij. Ze is wel heel gek op andere hondjes, maar 1 of 2 is voldoende. Helemaal alleen is ook geen optie, dan voelt ze zich ook echt alleen. Ze kan met kinderen vanaf een jaar of 6, dit vooral vanwege haar kleine formaat. Verder is ze heel aanhankelijk, makkelijk en je kunt haar overal mee naar toe nemen. Mannen vindt ze ook prima, haar vorige baasje was een man maar wegens ziekte moest ze op zoek naar een ander huisje. Wie kan onze mooie Melle een gouden mandje bieden. Ze zal ontzettend veel van je gaan houden en heel dankbaar zijn voor een beetje aandacht. Lekker wandelen doet ze ook graag, ze kan dan rustig los lopen, ze luistert goed. Wil jij een vriendinnetje voor het leven en wil je met haar samen de wereld ontdekken, laat dan een berichtje voor Melle achter. Bel: 06-50800245 of vul het formulier in:

About Melle

What life with Melle looks like

Melle is a small adult chihuahua dog waiting at Stichting Huis voor Dieren 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 Melle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Melle?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Huis voor Dieren handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Melle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Melle if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Huis voor 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Melle 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 Melle 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 Huis voor Dieren early rather than rehoming privately; they know Melle 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.
