How do I contact the shelter about Minka?

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 Minka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Minka 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Minka 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 Minka 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 Minka 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.

Minka

Mixed Breed · Female

It’s unbelievable that this sweet and wonderfully beautiful girl hasn’t yet found her own little home. Would you like to help by sharing her story? Minka currently lives in Duizel and absolutely longs for her very own cozy spot. She’s a gorgeous 5-year-old lady, a crossbreed of Labrador and Golden Retriever. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs. In her early years, Minka wasn’t particularly lucky—she was originally intended to be a breeding female, but fortunately that didn’t work out. After her first litter, she had to leave the breeding program. Luckily, she then met the right, loving people who were eager to teach her all the ins and outs of dog life. And it’s going really well! Sometimes she’s still a bit unsure, but once she gets to know you and trusts you, she’ll become your best little friend. Most of all, she loves carrying around her stuffed toys all day long—such a joy to watch! Minka still has a few things to learn, but she picks up new skills quickly and finds everything fun and cozy. Finally, her life has truly begun. Now all she needs is a kind owner who’s willing to give her the time and space to keep growing. It would be great if there was another dog around too—she could even learn from them! Have you seen her beautiful eyes? Her character is even more stunning. Would you like to help her find her very own little home? For more information, feel free to send us a private message, and we’ll make sure you’re put in touch. Minka is eagerly waiting for you!

Onvoorstelbaar dat deze leuke en geweldige mooie meid nog geen eigen huisje heeft gevonden. Willen jullie helpen om haar te delen. Minka woont momenteel in Duizel en wil heel graag haar eigen mandje. Ze is een prachtige dame van 5 jaar, kruising Labrador x Golden Retriever. Ze is heel leuk met andere honden. Minka heeft haar eerste jaren geen geluk gehad, het was de bedoeling dat ze een fokteef zou zijn, maar gelukkig is dat niet gelukt. Na haar eerste nestje moest ze het veld ruimen. Gelukkig kwam ze toen wel de juiste lieve mensen tegen die haar heel graag de kneepjes van het hond zijn wilden leren. Dat gaat heel goed. Soms is ze nog wat onzeker, maar als ze je eenmaal kent en vertrouwt, wordt ze je beste vriendinnetje. Het liefst loopt ze de hele dag te sjouwen met haar knuffels, heerlijk om te zien. Minka moet nog wel het een en ander leren, maar ze leert snel en vindt ook alles leuk en gezellig. Eindelijk is haar leven begonnen. Nu nog een lieve baas die haar de tijd en ruimte wil geven om verder te groeien. Als er een andere hond aanwezig is, zou fijn zijn. Daar kan ze het kunstje ook van afkijken. Heb je haar prachtige ogen gezien, haar karakter is zelfs nog mooier. Wil jij helpen om haar eigen mandje te vinden? Voor meer info mag je ons een PB sturen, dan zorgen wij ervoor dat je in contact komt. Minka wacht vol spanning op jou! Bel: 06-50800245 of vul het formulier in:

About Minka

What life with Minka looks like

Minka is a medium-sized adult mixed breed 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.
