Mundo's Story: Mundo was found in Göcek and taken to a veterinary clinic. This clinic happens to be a partner of Göcek Animal Shelter. Göcek Animal Shelter is run with great dedication by a team of Turkish and foreign volunteers. Since a law was passed in Turkey a few years ago, street dogs are no longer safe. Most dogs end up in poorly known municipal shelters. Mundo was lucky to end up at Göcek Animal Shelter. Mundo is a social and friendly dog. He gets along well with other dogs at the shelter, both larger dogs and small dogs and puppies. He is relaxed in his interactions and has a temperament that would make him a good fit for a loving family. Every Saturday, volunteers take him on a walk to help him get used to a harness and leash. Despite the best efforts of the volunteers, every adopter must realize that once in the Netherlands, everything will be different for Mundo: the environment, smells, sounds, people, routines, and traffic. Therefore, it is important for an adopter to have a lot of patience and understanding. Things that are normal for us will still be exciting for Mundo. For example, a vacuum cleaner, stairs, traffic, bicycles, visitors, being alone at home, walking on a leash, or potty training. We therefore advise giving Mundo time to discover and build trust at his own pace. Do not expect him to immediately know what is expected of him. Some dogs adapt quickly, while others need weeks or even months to feel truly safe and relaxed. It is important to keep the first period calm and predictable. A consistent routine, clear boundaries, sufficient rest, and positive guidance will help Mundo become a happy household dog. For more information about the shelter in Göcek, see: .

Het verhaal van Mundo: Mundo werd gevonden in Göcek en naar een dierenartspraktijk gebracht. Dit is toevallig een dierenartspraktijk dat samenwerkt met asiel Göcek. Asiel Göcek wordt met veel toewijding gerund door een aantal Turkse en buitenlandse vrijwilligers. Sinds een paar jaar geleden een wet in Turkije van kracht is geworden, zijn straathonden hun leven niet meer zeker. De meeste honden komen in de slecht bekend staande gemeentelijke asielen terecht. Mundo heeft dus geluk gehad dat hij in asiel Göcek terecht is gekomen. Mundo is een sociale en vriendelijke hond. Hij kan in het asiel goed overweg met andere honden, zowel grotere honden als kleine honden en pups. Hij is relaxed in de omgang en heeft een karakter waarmee hij goed in een liefdevol gezin zou passen. Elke zaterdag nemen vrijwilligers hem een stukje mee uit wandelen, zodat hij aan tuig en riem went. Hoe goed de vrijwilligers hun best doen, dient elke adoptant te beseffen dat eenmaal in Nederland alles anders is voor Mundo: de omgeving, geuren, geluiden, mensen, routines en het verkeer. Daarom is het belangrijk dat een adoptant veel geduld en begrip heeft. Dingen die voor ons heel normaal zijn, zullen voor Mundo nog spannend zijn. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan een stofzuiger, traplopen, verkeer, fietsen, visite, alleen thuis blijven, wandelen aan de lijn of zindelijkheid. Wij adviseren daarom Mundo de tijd te geven om rustig te ontdekken en vertrouwen op te bouwen. Verwacht niet dat hij meteen weet wat er wordt verwacht. Sommige honden passen zich snel aan, terwijl andere honden weken of zelfs maanden nodig hebben om zich echt veilig en ontspannen te voelen. Het is belangrijk om de eerste periode rustig en voorspelbaar te houden. Een vaste routine, duidelijke grenzen, voldoende rust en positieve begeleiding helpen Mundo om een fijne huishond te worden.

About Mundo

What life with Mundo looks like

Mundo is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Wereldhonden in Netherlands.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇳🇱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 Mundo, answered.

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