Pablo

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Adult · 8 years

This is Pablo, a Jack Russell mix around 8 years old. Pablo came to us with Monti and a cat because their owner could no longer care for them. The first days Pablo found everything very exciting. He stayed growling in a corner and when someone came too close, he could even snap out of fear. But as Pablo began to feel safer, more of his true character emerged. The treats certainly helped with that. Pablo has now changed into a very sweet cuddly dog. He enjoys attention enormously and would love to be with you. Cuddles, attention and of course something tasty, that's what makes Pablo really happy. He can't get enough of it! Pablo needs a quiet environment. He finds loud or pushy dogs exciting. He could live well with a quiet dog, but being placed with Monti is not necessary. What Pablo is looking for above all is human company. He wants to be with his people and enjoy all the attention he loves so much. Young children are too busy for Pablo. A quiet household with people who understand his signals and give him time to build trust would be the best fit for him. Pablo may have a heart murmur. An X-ray has been taken. It is not yet clear how much this affects his health. He may need medication in the future. Whoever has given Pablo his trust once will get an incredibly cozy and affectionate dog in return. Pablo is looking for a quiet and loving home where he can be with his people a lot. A place where he can get used to, feel safe and especially enjoy attention, cuddles and his favorite treats. Interested in Pablo? Contact via and mention in your motivation at least: Help animals like Pablo with medical care and a warm place. Sensitive, eager to learn and brave when necessary.

Dit is Pablo, een Jack Russell-kruising van ongeveer 8 jaar oud. Pablo kwam samen met Monti en een kat bij ons terecht, omdat hun eigenaar helaas niet meer voor haar dieren kon zorgen. De eerste dagen vond Pablo het allemaal ontzettend spannend. Hij bleef grommend in een hoekje en wanneer iemand te dichtbij kwam, kon hij vanuit angst zelfs happen. Maar naarmate Pablo zich veiliger begon te voelen, kwam er steeds meer van zijn ware karakter tevoorschijn. Daar hebben de snoepjes zeker een handje bij geholpen. Inmiddels is Pablo veranderd in een ontzettend lieve knuffelkont. Hij geniet enorm van aandacht en wil het liefst gezellig bij je zijn. Knuffels, aandacht en natuurlijk iets lekkers, daar maak je Pablo écht gelukkig mee. Hij kan er geen genoeg van krijgen! Pablo heeft wel behoefte aan een rustige omgeving. Drukke of opdringerige honden vindt hij spannend. Met een rustige hond zou hij prima kunnen samenleven, maar samen met Monti geplaatst worden is niet noodzakelijk. Wat Pablo vooral zoekt, is menselijk gezelschap. Hij wil graag bij zijn mensen zijn en genieten van alle aandacht die hij zo heerlijk vindt. Ook jonge kinderen zijn voor Pablo te druk. Een rustig huishouden, met mensen die zijn signalen begrijpen en hem de tijd geven om vertrouwen op te bouwen, zou daarom het beste bij hem passen. Bij Pablo is mogelijk sprake van een hartruis. Er is inmiddels een röntgenfoto gemaakt. Het is nog niet duidelijk in hoeverre dit gevolgen heeft voor zijn gezondheid. Mogelijk zal hij in de toekomst medicatie nodig hebben. Wie Pablo eenmaal zijn vertrouwen heeft gegeven, krijgt er een ontzettend gezellige en aanhankelijke hond voor terug. Pablo zoekt een rustig en liefdevol thuis waar hij veel bij zijn mensen mag zijn. Een plek waar hij de tijd krijgt om te wennen, zich veilig voelt en vooral lekker mag genieten van aandacht, knuffels en zijn favoriete snoepjes. Interesse in Pablo? Neem contact op via en vermeld in uw motivatie minstens: Help dieren zoals Pablo met medische zorg en een warm plekje. Geef Bella even de tijd en ze geeft je haar hele hart.

About Pablo

What life with Pablo looks like

Pablo is a large adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dierentehuis in Netherlands.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Pablo, answered.

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