Melly

Mixed Breed · Female

Who falls for the sweet face of our Melly? She needed some time with us in the shelter to thaw, but now she's fully part of the group. She's sometimes a bit hesitant, especially people she finds exciting. But she plays nicely with the other dogs. Her best friend Ona and her biggest friend Perro have already left for their permanent homes, now it's Melly's turn. Who gives her a chance? Someone who wants to invest time, patience and love in her to regain her trust in people. We do our best to socialize more anxious dogs, but we also have limited hands and time on so many dogs. That's why we hope someone would like to give Melly a chance with 1-on-1 attention for her. In the comments in this link are videos of Melly playing with other dogs.

Wie valt er voor de lieve snoet van onze Melly? Ze had even wat tijd nodig bij ons in de opvang om te ontdooien, maar hoort nu helemaal bij de groep. Ze is soms wat afwachtend, vooral mensen vind ze spannend.. Maar ze speelt leuk met de andere hondjes. Haar beste vriendinnetje Ona en haar aller grootste vriend Perro zijn al vertrokken naar haar permanente huisje, nu onze Melly nog. Wie geeft haar een kans? Iemand die tijd, geduld en liefde in haar wilt steken, om haar vertrouwen in mensen terug te winnen. Wij doen ontzettend onze best om angstigere honden te socialiseren, maar hebben ook maar zoveel handen en tijd op zoveel honden. Vandaar dat we hopen dat er iemand is die Melly een kans zou willen geven met 1 op 1 aandacht voor haar. In de comments in deze link staan video's van Melly spelend met andere honden.

About Melly

What life with Melly looks like

Melly is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Dogs Europe in Amersfoort/Vlissingen (NL-wide).

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 Melly, answered.

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