Dit is Monica! Monica is gevonden door een vrijwilligster midden in de bossen van Noord Griekenland. Monica is een sociaal meisje die gek is op eten. Als ze de kans krijgt eet ze alles op. Ze is lief tegen de andere honden. Katten en kinderen zijn onbekend voor haar maar gezien haar leeftijd verwachten wij daar geen probleem mee. Monica weegt 13 kg en de verwachting is dat daar nog wel een paar kilo’s bij zullen komen. Update Januari 2023: Inmiddels is Monica alweer gegroeid tot een grote dame van 35 kg. Ze is heel sociaal en houdt van eten, dat is haar ook wel aan te zien! Monica is gek op mensen en is het liefst bij hun in de buurt. Ze loopt al netjes mee aan de riem. Update februari 2025: Monica is een schat van een meid, ze is erg geschikt voor iemand die een makkelijke hond zoekt. Update maart 2026: Monica loopt netjes mee aan de lijn. Ze benadert het leven met het enthousiasme van iemand die er van overtuigd is dat de wereld is geschapen voor haar persoonlijke plezier. Monica is sociaal. Ze houdt van mensen.

Ze vraagt niet veel: alleen wandelingen, eten, knuffels en haar eigen troon in huis. Monica kan goed overweg met kinderen. Hoe ze met katten is zal uitgetest moeten worden.

About Monica

What life with Monica looks like

Monica is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Mirtos Animal Project 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 Monica, answered.

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