How do I contact the shelter about Nina?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nina if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst 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 Nina 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 Nina 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 Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nina 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.

Nina

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 7 months

Meet Nina 🐾 Birthdate: 19/01/2026 Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Gender: Female Nina was voluntarily surrendered to the police and came to us. She is currently staying with a foster family where we get to know her better. Behavior & Personality: Nina is a young, enthusiastic lady and a real velcro dog. She loves to be as close to you as possible, whether on the couch or in bed, or just on top of you. She can sometimes get overexcited and overenthusiastic. In her calm foster home, we are seeing her relax more and more. She gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. She doesn't like a crate for now. But she loves food! Nina is quite gullible and therefore gets her food in a anti-choke bowl or spread out. What is Nina looking for? A quiet home without too much hustle and bustle, with people who want to guide her further and give her enough rest. And of course, we are looking for someone who doesn't mind a dog who doesn't quite understand the concept of personal space yet. Animal type: Dog Gender: Female Age: 7 months

🐾 Maak kennis met Nina 🐾 Geboortedatum: 19/01/2026 Ras: Amerikaanse Staffordshire Terrier Geslacht: Teefje Nina werd vrijwillig afgestaan aan de politie en kwam zo bij ons terecht. Momenteel verblijft ze bij een opvanggezin, waar we haar beter leren kennen. Gedrag & Persoonlijkheid: Nina is een jonge, enthousiaste dame en een echte velcrohond. Op de zetel of in bed ligt ze het liefst zo dicht mogelijk tegen je aan, of gewoon bovenop je. Ze kan zichzelf soms snel opjagen en overenthousiast worden. In haar rustige opvanggezin zien we haar ondertussen steeds meer ontspannen. Ze doet het goed met andere honden, katten en kinderen. Een bench vindt ze voorlopig maar niets. Eten is dan weer hélemaal haar ding. Nina is behoorlijk gulzig en krijgt daarom haar eten in een antischrokbak of verspreid aangeboden. Wat zoekt Nina? Een rustige thuis zonder te veel drukte, bij mensen die haar verder willen begeleiden en haar voldoende rust kunnen bieden. En uiteraard zoeken we iemand die geen probleem heeft met een hond die het begrip ‘persoonlijke ruimte’ nog niet helemaal onder de knie heeft. Soort dier: Hond Geslacht: Vrouwelijk Leeftijd: 7 maand

About Nina

What life with Nina looks like

Nina is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst in Belgium.

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 Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.
