How do I contact the shelter about Pamela?

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

Can I adopt Pamela if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — description 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 Pamela 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 Pamela 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 description early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pamela 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.

Adopt Pamela

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 10 months

animal shelter Tenerife (Sabine): Input 11 april 2026: Pamela was found along the highway... hit by a car. Loving people brought her to a vet but without financial help they could do little. She didn't have a chip either, so no owner was known. We took her over and she was immediately operated on by the specialist for her broken hip. The operation went super and she was soon allowed to go "home". Recovering from an operation in an animal shelter is not easy, she needs extra hygiene and also care, limited space for rest and daily movement under control. Therefore, she stayed the first days with us in the office area. We thought this would be a problem but she quickly adapted, we literally had "no dog" there and it was quite nice! Pamela was very scared at first but due to this extra attention and care she is now used to everything, more than other dogs. She also knows the leash well and enjoys our walks a lot! She walks calmly several times a day without pulling and enjoys that bit of extra freedom. Meanwhile, she also does this nicely outside, around the animal shelter, in the mountain area. Other dogs are greeted outside carefully but also very politely and correctly: submissive, shy, soft and modest, exactly as she is. Pamela still holds back a lot and has to bloom and dare to come out but we see her grow every day! So far, Pamela has moved to one of the larger kennels, where she has space inside and outside. The treasure is really doing super and is always quietly waiting by the gate when we pass by, hoping it's already time for a walk, a cuddle or something tasty... We hope she quickly finds her own person who she can completely trust and with whom she can continue to explore this beautiful outside world. This dear one has a lot more to offer and with patience and love she will surely blossom into a cozy, cheerful and perhaps even 'podenco- mischievous' companion. We are increasingly seeing her playful and funny side, especially when we play with toys or stuffed animals with her, it's then so beautiful to watch! How she wags her tail and learns to play... a real blessing in heart and life, you just spontaneously become happy!

Asiel Tenerife (Sabine): Input 11 april 2026: Pamela werd langs de snelweg gevonden... Aangereden. Lieve mensen brachten haar naar een dierenarts maar zonder financiële hulp konden ze weinig. Ze had ook geen chip, dus geen eigenaar te bekennen. We namen haar over en ze werd per direct bij de specialist aan haar gebroken heup geopereerd. De operatie verliep super en ze mocht al snel naar "huis". Van een operatie herstellen in een asiel is niet makkelijk, ze heeft extra hygiëne nodig en ook verzorging, beperkte ruimte voor rust en dagelijkse beweging onder controle. Daarom verbleef ze de eerste dagen bij ons in het kantoor gedeelte. We dachten dat dit een probleem zou zijn maar ze paste zich snel aan, we hadden er letterlijk "geen hond aan" en het was best gezellig! Pamela was erg bang in het begin maar door deze extra aandacht en verzorging is ze nu van alles gewend, meer dan andere honden. Ook de riem kent ze goed en wat kan ze genieten van onze wandelingen! Meerdere wandelingen per dag loopt ze braaf mee zonder te trekken en geniet van dat beetje extra vrijheid. Inmiddels doet ze dat ook heerlijk buiten, rondom het asiel, in het berggedeelte. Andere hondjes worden buiten voorzichtig maar ook heel netjes en correct begroet: onderdanig, verlegen, zacht en bescheiden, precies zoals ze is. Pamela houd zich duidelijk nog erg in en moet nog opbloeien en durven los te komen maar we zien haar met de dag groeien!Inmiddels is Pamela verhuist naar één van de grotere hokken, waar ze binnen en buiten ruimte heeft. De schat doet het werkelijk super en staat stilletjes altijd voor het hek als we langskomen in de hoop dat het al weer tijd is voor een wandeling, een knuffel of iets lekkers... We hopen dat ze snel een eigen mens vindt die ze helemaal kan vertrouwen en met wie ze die prachtige buitenwereld verder mag gaan ontdekken. Deze lieverd heeft nog heel veel te bieden en zal met geduld en liefde zonder twijfel tot een gezellig, vrolijk en wie weet zelfs ‘podenco- ondeugend’ maatje opbloeien. We zien hier steeds vaker haar speelse en grappige kant, vooral als we met speeltjes of knuffeltjes met haar spelen, dit is dan zo mooi om te zien! Hoe ze dan kwispelt en leert te spelen... een aanwinst in hart en leven, je wordt er gewoon spontaan blij van!

About Pamela

What life with Pamela looks like

Pamela is a medium-sized puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

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.
