Pimmetje

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Hi, I'm Pimmetje. Hi, we are Pimmetje and Teddy. I, Pimmetje, am a young, cute, active cavy. Because I arrived as a foundling at the shelter, my exact age is not known. My caregivers have estimated it based on my weight, as I was still growing, so I was likely born around January 1, 2025. Here at the shelter, I'm paired with Teddy because I didn't really enjoy being alone. I like to burrow under a pile of hay, which feels cozy and secure. I'm happy to have a companion now and have become more active since then. Teddy often tries to be the boss, and that's not always to my liking. I'll let him know, but we always come to an understanding. We don't always stay together; we both seek out our own comfortable spots. But we do support each other. If we encounter something scary, we quickly seek each other out. When we get vegetables, we both come out, and sometimes Teddy picks the tastiest bits from my bowl. We're looking for a home with a spacious living area for us together. If you'd like to meet us, please email our caregivers. Greetings, Pimmetje and Teddy. our shelter Stichting Dierenopvang Hengelo Zilverstraat 30 7554 NH Hengelo 46.75.18.812 RSIN:

Hoi, ik ben Pimmetje. Een leuke, jonge, beweeglijke, stoere cavia. Eerst stond ik samen met Teddy op de website maar we hadden geen gelukkige relatie. We zijn dan ook met ruzie uit elkaar gegaan. Gelukkig heb ik een hele gezellige nieuwe partner gevonden: Woezel! Wanneer ik mij goed voel ben ik een uitgesproken jongen en ik neem dan ook graag wat groenten aan vanuit de hand. Dit maakt de verzorgers blij, al werken ze er helaas niet sneller door. Het liefste heb ik meteen mijn stukken groenten om op te knabbelen met mijn Woezel. Het zijn de verzorgers wel opgevallen dat ik iets stiller ben geworden na deze avontuurlijke maanden. Ze zijn er wel van overtuigd dat ik weer helemaal de oude wordt en mezelf weer meer ga laten zien en horen. Toen ik net met Teddy gekoppeld was duurde het namelijk ook even voordat ik helemaal aan hem gewend was. Heeft u een droomhuisje voor ons? Mijn verzorgers en wij horen graag van u via e-mail!

About Pimmetje

What life with Pimmetje looks like

Pimmetje is a young adult mixed breed animal waiting at Dierenopvang Hengelo in Hengelo.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Pimmetje far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇳🇱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 Pimmetje, answered.

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