NALA & NIO

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

We are Nala and Neo. Two little dogs with one big problem: we can't really live without each other. I'm Nala, the light brown girl about 1.5 years old, probably born in 2025. And I'm Neo, the black boy 3 years old. We are a girl and a boy and have always lived together. Where one is, the other is. Literally. If Neo walks somewhere, Nala follows. And if Nala goes somewhere, Neo is of course not far behind her. Our previous owners had to take us to the shelter with a heavy heart. They had to leave their home and move in with family. Unfortunately, the landlord wouldn't let us go with them. And so we ended up in the shelter through no fault of our own. Luckily we still have each other. And maybe that's the best part of our story: despite everything we stay together and happy. We are both very sweet, social and affectionate. We like people, we like to come to you

Waar jij bent, ben ikWij zijn Nala en Neo. Twee kleine hondjes met één groot probleem: we kunnen eigenlijk niet zonder elkaar. Ik ben Nala, het lichtbruine meisje van ongeveer 1,5 jaar vermoedelijk geboren in 2025. En ik ben Neo, de zwarte jongen van 3 jaar. We zijn een teefje en een reutje en hebben altijd samen gewoond. Waar de één is, is de ander. Echt letterlijk. Als Neo ergens heen loopt, loopt Nala erachteraan. En als Nala ergens gaat kijken, staat Neo natuurlijk niet veel later naast haar. Onze vorige baasjes moesten ons helaas met pijn in hun hart naar het asiel brengen. Ze moesten hun woning verlaten en bij familie gaan wonen. Helaas mochten wij daar van de verhuurder niet mee naartoe. En zo kwamen we, buiten onze schuld om, samen in het asiel terecht. Gelukkig hebben we elkaar nog. En misschien is dat wel het mooiste aan ons verhaal: ondanks alles blijven we samen vrolijk. We zijn allebei ontzettend lief, sociaal en aanhankelijk. We vinden mensen gezellig, komen graag bij je

About NALA & NIO

What life with NALA & NIO looks like

NALA & NIO is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa in —.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 NALA & NIO, answered.

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