Olivia

Mixed Breed Β· Unknown Β· 10 months

Olivia: a very sweet, gentle and somewhat uncertain girl, 10 months old, who is looking for a forever home. Olivia was found on the streets in Spain by people who fed her for a few days so she stayed in the same place. After a few days they were able to catch her and arranged for her to be brought to the shelter. This sweet girl recently came to us and we will help her find a place where she is very welcome! Olivia is a girl who is terribly sweet and gentle! She is somewhat uncertain and doesn't always feel confident, but if you take the time to show her you are kind, she will come to you to cuddle and do her best to trust you. During walks she becomes more relaxed and when she sees that you support her when she is nervous, she enjoys it more and can sniff and enjoy the walk. Olivia lived with other dogs in Spain and here and is very social. She will also get along well with a cat that is used to dogs. Olivia is a young girl and with her uncertainty, she will of course still have to learn a few things and that is why we do not place her in a family with children. If children come by, that will not be a problem, because she is really sweet by nature. But she deserves to have some time and peace to develop into a happy, stable girl! So we are looking for sweet people for Olivia who do not live in the middle of the city, but in a quieter environment. People who will guide her to gain more confidence and who will take her on nice walks. Then she will do her best for you!

Olivia: een heel lief, zachtaardig en wat onzeker meisje van 10 maanden jong die opzoek is naar een gouden mandje. Olivia is in Spanje op straat gevonden door mensen en zij hebben haar daar een paar dagen gevoerd, zodat ze op dezelfde plek bleef. Na een paar dagen konden ze dit meisje pakken en hebben zij ervoor gezorgd dat ze naar het asiel is gebracht. Recent is dit lieve meisje bij ons gekomen en gaan wij haar helpen zoeken naar een plek waar zij heel welkom is! Olivia is een meisje die vreselijk lief en zachtaardig is! Zij is wat onzeker en durft niet altijd even goed, maar als je rustig even de tijd neemt zodat ze ziet dat je lief tegen haar bent, komt ze heel graag met je knuffelen en doet ze haar best om op je te vertrouwen. Tijdens het wandelen komt ze losser en als ze dan ziet dat je haar steunt als ze het spannend vindt, geniet ze steeds meer en kan dan ook lekker gaan snuffelen en genieten van de wandeling. Olivia leefde zowel in Spanje als hier met andere honden en ze is erg sociaal. Ook met een kat die gewend is aan honden zal ze prima samen kunnen wonen. Olivia is een jong meisje en i.c.m. haar onzekerheid zal ze natuurlijk nog het een en ander moeten leren en daarom plaatsen we haar niet in een gezin met kinderen. Als er kinderen langs komen zal dat geen probleem zijn, want zij is wel echt lief van karakter. Maar zij verdient het nu om even alle tijd en rust te krijgen om zich te ontwikkelen tot een vrolijke, stabiele meid! Voor Olivia zoeken wij dus lieve mensen die niet midden in de stad wonen, maar in een wat rustigere omgeving. Mensen die haar gaan begeleiden om meer zelfvertrouwen te gaan krijgen en die lekker met haar gaan wandelen. Dan zal zij haar uiterste best voor je doen!

About Olivia

What life with Olivia looks like

Olivia is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen in Netherlands.

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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±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 Olivia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Olivia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenopvang Koningen handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Olivia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Olivia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Dierenopvang Koningen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Olivia 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Olivia isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dierenopvang Koningen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Olivia 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 β€” 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.
