Patty

Female · Young · 3 years

Patty, a spayed female dog, 3 years old, approximately 46 cm tall, weighs about 12 kg, from abroad. Background: Patty was rescued by an animal welfare worker from the Brad euthanasia station in Romania. She was taken to a private shelter and waited there for a home in the Netherlands. Two months ago disaster struck when a fire broke out. Miraculously, Patty managed to escape her kennel as the only dog. Nine other dogs did not survive this tragedy. The animal welfare worker has now called on Aai to give Patty a chance at a better future. Character: Patty is a sweet, cheerful dog. She is social with people and other dogs. She lives in a kennel with cats; they are her best friends. She walks well on a leash. We would like to find her a home with a garden. Who will finally give this sweet survivor a safe bed?

Patty, gesteriliseerd teefje, 3 jaar, ca. 46 cm hoog, weegt ca. 12 kg, buitenland. Achtergrond. Patty werd door een dierenbeschermster gered uit het Brad dodingsstation in Roemenie. Zij werd naar een prive asieltje gebracht en wachtte daar op een baasje in Nederland. Twee maanden geleden sloeg daar het noodlot toe en brak er brand uit. Als door een wonder is Patty er als enige hond in geslaagd om uit haar kennel te ontsnappen. Negen andere honden hebben deze tragedie niet overleefd. De dierenbeschermster heeft nu de hulp van Aai ingeroepen om Patty de kans te geven op mooie toekomst. Karakter. Patty is een lieve, vrolijke hond. Ze is sociaal naar mensen en andere honden. Ze leeft nu in een kennel, samen met katten; dat zijn haar grote vrienden. Ze oefent goed met aan de lijn lopen. We zoeken voor haar graag een huis met een tuin. Wie geeft dit lieve overlevertje eindelijk een veilig mandje?

About Patty

What life with Patty looks like

Patty is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Stichting AAI in Amsterdam.

An young 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" — 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 Patty, answered.

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