Patch

Mixed Breed Β· Male Β· Puppy Β· 5 months

These two beautiful puppies were found at the shelter in a plastic tub in the full sun without water, simply abandoned by their owner. Fortunately, the caregivers were in time to rescue them from this tub. Of course, these two were given a place at the shelter with 2 other pups who were already there, so that they could stay together and receive the proper care to grow up into cheerful and affectionate little dogs. Patch and Penny run and play all day and receive attention from the caregivers so that they get used to people. Once they are old enough, the pups will receive their vaccinations and microchip so that they can make the journey to the Netherlands around mid-October. The photos also include one of the 2nd pup who was with Penny. Patch is a cheerful clown who runs and plays with all the dog friends until he is tired, and then he likes to lie down and sleep in the sunshine. At the shelter, there are people every day who come to play with the dogs on the exercise field so that they learn that people are fun; she also likes to climb onto the caregivers' laps for a cuddle. Patch is very curious about all the new things he sees and loves to go exploring to see whether there is something fun to experience. Together with all the little dogs, they entertain themselves very well, but these pups would still very much like to find their own owner in the Netherlands. We expect that Patch will still grow somewhat and become a larger dog, probably around 60 cm. We think Patch will be a cozy family dog; she loves people, attention, and food, but of course he will still need to get used to our life here. We are looking for owners who enjoy going on adventures with this cheerful and playful pup. A garden is essential, as Patch needs a place to burn off her energy, playing and sniffing.

Deze twee mooie puppy's zijn gevonden bij de opvang in een plastic bak in de volle zon zonder water, gewoon achtergelaten door de baas. Gelukkig waren de verzorgers erop tijd om ze uit deze bak te redden. Natuurlijk kregen deze twee een plekje in de opvang bij 2 andere pups die er ook al waren, zodat ze samen konden blijven, de juiste verzorging krijgen zodat ze opgroeien tot vrolijke en aanhankelijke hondjes. Patch en Penny rennen en spelen de hele dag en krijgen aandacht van de verzorgers zodat ze aan mensen wennen. De pups krijgen als ze oud genoeg zijn de entingen en de chip zodat ze rond half oktober de reis naar Nederland kunnen gaan maken. Bij de foto's zit ook een foto van de 2e pup die bij Penny zat. Patch is een vrolijke grappenmaker, die samen met alle hondenvriendjes rent en speelt totdat hij moe is en gaat dan lekker liggen slapen in het zonnetje. In de shelter zijn er elke dag mensen die even met de honden gaan spelen op het uitlaatveld zodat ze leren dat mensen leuk zijn, ze komt dan ook graag bij de verzorgers op schoot om even te knuffelen. Patch is erg nieuwsgierig naar alle nieuwe dingen die hij ziet, en gaat graag op onderzoek uit om te kijken of er iets leuks te beleven valt, samen met alle hondjes vermaken ze zich prima maar deze pups zouden toch heel graag een eigen baasje vinden in Nederland, we verwachten dat Patch nog wel wat gaat groeien en een grotere hond zal worden, waarschijnlijk ongeveer 60 cm. Wij denken dat Patch een gezellige familie hond zal zijn, zij is dol op mensen, aandacht en eten, maar natuurlijk zal hij nog aan ons leventje hier moeten wennen. We zoeken baasjes die het leuk vinden met deze vrolijke en speelse pup op avontuur te gaan, wel is een tuin noodzakelijk omdat Patch daar haar energie kwijt kan, lekker spelen en snuffelen.

About Patch

What life with Patch looks like

Patch is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Wereldhonden in Netherlands.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window β€” 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.

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 Patch, answered.

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