Nala

Labrador Retriever · Female · Young · 1 year

Helaas kon mijn vrouwtje plots niet meer voor mij zorgen dus zit ik nu hier. Hoewel ze echt wel lief voor me zijn, wil ik graag verhuizen naar een eigen plekje. Ik zoek mensen die blij worden van mijn tomeloze enthousiasme want wat dat betreft ben ik een echte chocoladebruine Labrador. Ik kan goed luisteren maar ik ben pas anderhalf dus af en toe doe ik of ik je niet kan horen en trek ik eventjes mijn eigen plan. Ik ben dol op mensen die ik ken, maar onbekenden moeten mij wel de tijd geven om aan ze te wennen. Dat duurt niet lang hoor! Ik maak snel nieuwe vrienden maar ben gewoon niet zo veel gewend. Ik kon prima even alleen thuis blijven maar misschien moeten we dat wel weer even oefenen voordat dit in mijn nieuwe thuis ook goed gaat. Ik ben graag bij mijn eigenaar in de buurt en kuier graag achter je aan of ga in de buurt liggen. Ik gedraag mij goed in de auto en ondanks dat ik een beetje lomp ben kan ik goed met katten door een deur. Ook kwamen er regelmatig kinderen vanaf 7 jaar op visite maar die waren mijn temperament wel gewend dus was er geen probleem. Ik ga graag met mijn nieuwe gezin op cursus want aan de riem ben ik best wel sterk en onstuimig. Hou je wel van een beetje reuring in het leven en heb je zin om samen nieuwe avonturen te beleven? Neem dan contact op met mijn verzorgers door een mail te sturen naar en vergeet niet om een telefoonnummer te vermelden.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Dierenasiel Crailo in Hilversum.

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 Nala, answered.

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