Pipo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy

On Sant Jordi in April 2026, the police brought in 9 dogs. They were all in poor condition and living in deplorable circumstances. They were not malnourished, but all had scabies and possibly leishmaniasis. Of these 9 dogs, 1 was euthanized immediately because he was so badly off that it would be inhumane to let him suffer. They gave him a name, Toy, before they gave him peace. Of the remaining 8, Pipo is one of them. He is one of the most fearful dogs of the 8. He doesn't even take a cookie. He prefers to watch everything from behind a box. Fortunately, he relaxes more when there are no people around.

Op Sant Jordi in april 2026 zijn er door de politie 9 honden binnengebracht. Zij waren er allemaal slecht aan toe en zaten in erbarmelijke omstandigheden. Ze waren niet ondervoed, maar hadden allemaal in ieder geval schurft en mogelijk ook leishmania. Van deze 9 honden is er 1 direct ingeslapen omdat hij er zo slecht aan toe was dat het onmenselijk zou zijn om hem te laten lijden. Ze hebben hem voor ze hem rust gaven nog wel een naam gegeven, Toy. Van de overige 8 is Pipo er 1. Hij is wel 1 van de bangste honden van de 8. Zelfs een koekje komt hij niet aanpakken. Hij bekijkt dan alles het liefst van achter een hokje. Gelukkig ontspant hij meer als er geen mensen in de buurt zijn.

About Pipo

What life with Pipo looks like

Pipo is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Hondjes en Katjes Arca 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 — 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pipo, answered.

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