How do I contact the shelter about Nico?

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 Nico on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nico 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 Nico 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 Nico 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 Nico 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.

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Reserved 👉 tap here for our available adoptable dogs in the Netherlands, or 👉 tap here for our available adoptable dogs still in Romania. * For more information, please read “Why we are cautious about placing our dogs with families that have (young) children.” ➡️ Update July 19: An intake procedure is currently underway for Nico. The outcome is not yet 100% certain; our adoption process involves several steps. Are you interested in him and do you strongly identify with the profile of the adopter we’re looking for? If so, you’re welcome to fill out an intake form for him, so we can contact you should the current procedure not lead to an adoption. Or perhaps, after discussion, one of our other dogs might also be a great match for you? A dog—or perhaps one of our pups still waiting at the shelter? Character: Nico is a cheerful, energetic, and curious puppy who eagerly embarks on a new adventure every single day. He’s truly everyone’s friend and absolutely loves attention. Cuddling is one of his favorite activities: he loves to snuggle up on your lap, happily lie on his back for a belly rub, and prefers to stay close to his people.

De uitkomst staat nog niet 100% vast; onze adoptie procedure bestaat uit meerdere stappen. Heeft u belangstelling voor hem en herkent u zich goed in het profiel van de adoptant die we zoeken? Dan kunt u desgewenst een intakeformulier voor hem invullen, zodat we contact met u kunnen opnemen wanneer de huidige procedure niet tot een adoptie leidt. Of misschien blijkt in overleg één van onze andere hondjes ook goed bij u te passen? Een hond(je) in Nederland, of misschien één van onze hondjes die nog wachten in het asiel? Karakter: Nico is een vrolijke, energieke en nieuwsgierige pup die iedere dag weer enthousiast aan een nieuw avontuur begint. Hij is een echte allemansvriend en geniet enorm van aandacht. Knuffelen is één van zijn favoriete bezigheden: hij kruipt graag bij je op schoot, gaat lekker op zijn rug liggen voor een buikmassage en ligt het liefst dicht bij zijn mensen.

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Straydogs Rescue Nederland in RC Nieuwe Pekela.

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.
