How do I contact the shelter about Nora?

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

Can I adopt Nora 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 Nora 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 Nora 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 Nora 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.

Nora

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

For an explanation, please read Why we are cautious about placing our dogs with families with young children. Information: At the beginning of May 2026, some of our team members visited Elisa's shelter in Romania, with which we work closely. Only the dogs that we expect will be happy in the Netherlands - and their adopters with the dog - are placed by us. Nova is certainly one of them! Nora showed herself during our visit as an open, cheerful pup, enjoying our attention. Due to the stress of staying in a large and overcrowded shelter, some pups become more reserved as the weeks go by. Fortunately, this does not apply to all pups; we cannot yet predict how Nova will develop. However, we can always ask Elisa for an update. And above all: we hope to find a nice, suitable place for Nova soon, in the Netherlands. Because generally, the younger a currently cheerful pup can leave the shelter, the greater the chance that adapting to a life as a house dog will proceed relatively smoothly. The videos further down on this page give a good image of Nora and her littermates. Background: This girl was found together with her brothers and sisters. The entire litter of puppies was dumped, literally at a garbage heap... Unfortunately, this is common in Romania. Many people who keep dogs in their yard or property do not have money to pay for sterilization costs. Or they don't consider it important - that also happens. Therefore, endlessly many unwanted puppies are born - and dumped. 🥺 The video below was made by our contact person Elisa and tells the story of these pups:

* voor een toelichting, lees Waarom wij voorzichtig zijn met het plaatsen van onze honden bij gezinnen met jonge kinderen alstublieft. Informatie: Begin mei 2026 is een aantal van onze teamleden een week lang op bezoek bij Elisa's asiel in Roemenië, waarmee we nauw samenwerken. Alleen de honden waarvan we verwachten dat ze gelukkig zullen worden in Nederland - en hun adoptanten met de hond - worden door ons bemiddeld. Nova hoort daar zeker bij! Nora toonde zich tijdens ons bezoek als een open, vrolijke pup, genietend van onze aandacht. Door de stress van het verblijf in een groot en overvol asiel worden sommige pups terughoudender, naarmate de weken vorderen. Gelukkig geldt niet voor alle pups; we kunnen nog niet voorspellen hoe Nova zich zal ontwikkelen. Wel kunnen we altijd een update aan Elisa vragen. En vooral: we hopen dat we snel een fijne, passende plek vinden voor Nova, in Nederland. Want over het algemeen geldt dat hoe jonger een nu nog vrolijke pup dit asiel kan verlaten, des te groter de kans dat het aanpassen aan een leven als huishond relatief soepel zal verlopen. De filmpjes verder naar onder op deze pagina geven een goed beeld van Nora en haar nestgenootjes. Achtergrond: Dit meisje is gevonden samen met haar broertjes en zusjes. Het hele nestje puppy's is gedumpt, letterlijk bij een afvalhoop... Helaas is dat in Roemenië aan de orde van de dag. Veel mensen die honden in hun tuin of erf houden, hebben geen geld om de kosten van sterilisaties te betalen. Of ze vinden het niet belangrijk - ook dat komt voor. Zo worden er dus eindeloos veel ongewenste puppy's geboren - en gedumpt. 🥺 Het onderstaande filmpje is gemaakt door onze contactpersoon Elisa en vertelt het verhaal van deze pups:

About Nora

What life with Nora looks like

Nora is a large 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.
