Paul

Mixed Breed · Unknown · 7 months

Paul; a beautiful, stubborn, tough and brave young man of 7 months old. We are looking for loving people with dog experience who can give Paul a great life and who don't mind his stubbornness. Paul is a ChowChow mix from Turkey. He and his brother Kayo were found when they were still little puppies. Fortunately, they were lovingly taken in by a caring foster mother and recently they made the journey to the Netherlands, where we welcomed them. Paul is used to living in a house, is very social with other dogs, has lived with cats, can ride in the car, walks nicely on a leash and has learned a lot. But Paul also turns out to be very stubborn, which of course fits his breed and his new owners must be able to handle this. Paul is looking for people with dog experience who can set clear boundaries and guide this beautiful young man to become a stable adult dog. We do not place Paul with children, because he is the one who needs to be number one. You are welcome to come and meet Paul in person. He can show you who he is. Come and see him soon.

Paul; een prachtige, eigenwijze, stoere en dappere knul van 7 maanden jong. En voor deze jongeman zijn wij op zoek naar lieve mensen die ervaring hebben met honden, die Paul een geweldig leven kunnen geven en die het niet erg vinden dat hij eigenwijs is. Paul is een kruising ChowChow en komt uit Turkije. Hij, en zijn broer Kayo, zijn gevonden toen ze nog kleine pupjes waren. Gelukkig zijn ze liefdevol opgevangen bij een lieve pleegmoeder en recent mochten zij de reis naar Nederland maken, waar wij ze welkom hebben geheten. Paul is het leven in huis gewend, is heel sociaal met andere honden, heeft samengewoond met katten, kan mee in de auto, loopt keurig aan de riem en heeft dus al een heleboel geleerd. Maar Paul blijkt ook erg eigenwijs te zijn, wat natuurlijk erg bij zijn ras past en daar moeten zijn nieuwe baasjes natuurlijk wel tegenkunnen. Paul is op zoek naar mensen die ervaring hebben met honden, die duidelijke grenzen kunnen geven en deze prachtige knul kunnen begeleiden om een stabiele volwassen hond te worden. Wij plaatsen Paul niet bij kinderen, want hij is nu degene die het nodig heeft om op nummer 1 te staan. U bent van harte welkom om Paul in levende lijve te komen ontmoeten. Dan kan hij zelf laten zien wie hij is. Komt u gauw langs voor hem?

About Paul

What life with Paul looks like

Paul is a small 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" — 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 Paul, answered.

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