Nadia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

* For more information, please read “Why we are cautious about placing our dogs with families that have (younger) children.” Character: Nadia is a cheerful, playful, and utterly adorable little dog with a delightful personality. She loves cuddling and likes to snuggle up against you on the couch or in your lap. At the same time, she’s surprisingly independent: she enjoys attention, but she doesn’t need to be constantly the center of attention and can easily entertain herself just fine. She has a cheerful demeanor and often manages to make you laugh. For instance, she loves dragging blankets, pillows, and shoes around the house—without ever breaking anything in the process. Beneath her cute exterior lies a dog with her own strong opinions. Nadia is friendly and modest, yet she makes it perfectly clear when something doesn’t suit her. Nadia is an intelligent, eager-to-learn dog who enjoys being guided and quickly picks up new things. She effortlessly alternates between playful bursts of energy and lovely moments of calm. Behavior at home: At home, Nadia is a cozy companion. She loves being close to her people but doesn’t follow them around the house constantly. She’s affectionate without being intrusive and knows exactly how to find her own peace and quiet when needed.

Geadopteerd 👉 tik hier voor onze beschikbare adoptie hondenin Nederland * voor een toelichting, lees Waarom wij voorzichtig zijn met het plaatsen van onze honden bij gezinnen met (jongere) kinderen alstublieft. Karakter: Nadia is een vrolijk, speels en heel aandoenlijk hondje met een heerlijk karakter. Ze is dol op knuffelen en kruipt graag tegen je aan op de bank of op schoot. Tegelijkertijd is ze verrassend zelfstandig: ze geniet van aandacht, maar ze hoeft niet voortdurend in de belangstelling te staan en kan zich ook prima zelf vermaken. Ze heeft een vrolijke uitstraling en weet je regelmatig aan het lachen te maken. Zo sleept ze graag met dekens, kussens en schoenen door het huis, zonder daar iets van kapot te maken. Achter haar schattige uiterlijk schuilt bovendien een hondje met een eigen mening. Nadia is vriendelijk en bescheiden, maar laat het ook duidelijk weten wanneer iets haar niet bevalt. Nadia is een slimme, leergierige hond die zich prettig laat begeleiden en nieuwe dingen snel oppakt. Ze wisselt haar speelse buien moeiteloos af met heerlijke rustmomenten.

About Nadia

What life with Nadia looks like

Nadia is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Straydogs Rescue Nederland in RC Nieuwe Pekela.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nadia, answered.

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