How do I contact the shelter about Mimi?

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

Can I adopt Mimi if I live in another country?

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

Mimi

Podenco · Female · Young · 1 year

Mimi, formerly Lisa, has been in the Netherlands for about 8 weeks now. Unfortunately, it appears there is no good match with her current adoptive family. They notice that Mimi is happiest in a home where another dog is already present, so she has a companion. Mimi is a young, small, and lively Podenco full of energy and enthusiasm. Running, playing, and roughhousing are her favorite activities. She is incredibly social, hardly knows fear, and greets everyone she meets with the utmost friendliness. Other dogs especially find her wonderful. She plays with everything she encounters, rarely barks, and responds well to commands and corrections. Staying at home still proves difficult for Mimi at the moment. With patience, guidance, and a doggy companion in the house, we expect this to improve. Furthermore, Mimi has already learned a lot. She is housetrained, sleeps soundly through the night, walks nicely on a leash, and is accustomed to a daily routine. She also handles car rides well, and stair climbing is no problem for her. Mimi needs a lot of exercise. She is still young and full of energy. Therefore, we think a home with a (small) yard would be a good fit for her. Indoors, she also knows how to settle down. Then she likes to lie in her open crate or basket, relaxing with a nice bone. Are you looking for a lively, social, and active dog who would rather play outside with other dogs all day? And do you already have a dog that could use a playmate? Then Mimi might just be the perfect addition you are seeking.

Mimi, voorheen Lisa, verblijft inmiddels zo'n 8 weken in Nederland. Helaas blijkt er geen goede match te zijn met haar huidige adoptiegezin. Zij merken dat Mimi het gelukkigst is in een huis waar al een andere hond aanwezig is, zodat ze een maatje heeft. Mimi is een jonge, kleine en vrolijke Podenco vol energie en levenslust. Rennen, spelen en stoeien zijn haar favoriete bezigheden. Ze is ontzettend sociaal, kent nauwelijks angsten en begroet het liefst iedereen die ze tegenkomt. Vooral andere honden vindt ze geweldig. Ze speelt met alles wat ze tegenkomt, blaft bijna nooit en reageert goed op aanwijzingen en correcties. Alleen thuis blijven vindt Mimi op dit moment nog lastig. Met geduld, begeleiding en een hondenvriendje in huis verwachten we dat dit verder zal verbeteren. Verder heeft Mimi al veel geleerd. Ze is zindelijk, slaapt 's nachts goed door, loopt netjes aan de lijn en is gewend aan een vaste dagelijkse routine. Ook autorijden gaat haar goed af en traplopen is geen probleem. Mimi heeft veel beweging nodig. Ze is nog jong en zit vol energie. Daarom denken we dat een huis met een (kleine) tuin goed bij haar zou passen. Binnen weet ze ook prima tot rust te komen. Dan ligt ze graag in haar open bench of mand te ontspannen met een lekker botje. Ben jij op zoek naar een vrolijke, sociale en actieve hond die het liefst de hele dag buiten speelt met andere honden? En heb je al een hond die wel een speelmaatje kan gebruiken? Dan is Mimi misschien wel precies de aanvulling die jullie zoeken.

About Mimi

What life with Mimi looks like

Mimi is a medium-sized young adult podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

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.
