Nieuwsgierige Nemo

Male · Adult · 5 years

Nemo is a handsome, tough boy (with a small heart) who is a 4.5-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier mix (birthdate: 8-1-2022). Nemo came to us as a stray and was never picked up by his owner. While wandering on the street, he had a mishap with another dog, resulting in injuries to his paws. He has since received treatment. We have noticed that he becomes very tense when he sees other dogs on the street. He becomes fixated and finds this very exciting, but he is easy to call back or distract afterwards. Due to this tension and the fact that it has happened before, he is not placed with other dogs or animals. He is a real ball of energy and a huge cuddler. He loves to snuggle up on your lap and can sometimes be a bit energetic. Because of his enthusiastic and bouncy behavior, he is placed with a family with children aged 16 and above. It is not known if Nemo can be left alone at home, so we are looking for a situation where this can be built up slowly. He enjoys playing with a floss rope. He finds a ball less interesting. He walks nicely on a leash, although he can sometimes pull and be strong. He occasionally finds it still a bit scary to wear a harness. He is a very nice young man looking for a golden home. Interested in this young man? Please fill out an application form.

Deze knappe, stoere jongen (met een klein hartje) is Nemo, een kruising Stafford van 4,5 jaar oud (geboortedatum: 8-1-2022). Nemo is als zwerver bij ons binnengekomen en is nooit meer opgehaald door zijn eigenaar. Toen Nemo op straat zwierf, heeft hij een akkefietje gehad met een andere hond. Daarbij is hij gewond geraakt aan zijn poten. Hiervoor is hij inmiddels behandeld. Zelf merken wij ook dat er veel spanning ontstaat zodra hij andere honden op straat ziet. Hij verstijft, fixeert en vindt dit erg spannend, maar is daarna wel goed bij je terug te roepen of af te leiden. Door deze spanning en doordat het al eens is misgegaan, wordt hij niet bij andere honden of dieren geplaatst. Verder is hij een echte stuiterbal én een enorme kroelkont. Hij kruipt graag bij je op schoot en kan daarbij soms wat druk zijn. Vanwege zijn enthousiaste en springerige gedrag wordt hij geplaatst bij een gezin met kinderen vanaf 16 jaar. Het is niet bekend of Nemo alleen thuis kan zijn, daarom zoeken wij een situatie waar dit rustig opgebouwd kan worden. Hij speelt graag met een flostouw. Een balletje vindt hij een stuk minder interessant. Aan de lijn wandelt hij gezellig mee, al kan hij soms wat trekken en dan sterk zijn. Het aandoen van een tuigje vindt hij af en toe nog spannend. Verder is het een hele leuke knul die op zoek is naar een gouden huisje. Interesse in deze knul? Vul dan een aanmeldingsformulier in.

About Nieuwsgierige Nemo

What life with Nieuwsgierige Nemo looks like

Nieuwsgierige Nemo is a small adult dog waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

An 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 Nieuwsgierige Nemo, answered.

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