Pippo

Male · Young · 2 years

Pippo, a slender neutered male, 55 cm tall, weighs approximately 17 kg, from abroad. Pippo was with a group of other stray dogs at a gas station. He was picked up by the notorious dog catchers in Romania and brought to the public municipal shelter (read: euthanasia station). A dog protector who knew him rescued him from there and since then he has been staying in a small private shelter, where he is waiting for his own owner/owneress. Pippo is a sweet dog. He is social with people and other dogs. Cats are no problem either. He loves to be hugged. And does his best to do everything right. We are looking for loving owners for Pippo who can give him the wonderful life he so deserves.

Pippo, is een slanke gecastreerde reu, 55 cm hoog, weegt ca. 17 kg, buiternland. Met een groepje andere zwerfhonden verbleef Pippo bij een benzinestation. Hij is opgepakt door de beruchte hondenvangers in Roemenië en naar het openbaar gemeenteasiel (lees: dodingsstation) gebracht. Een dierenbeschermer die hem kende, heeft hem hieruit gered en sindsdien verblijft hij in een klein privé asieltje, waar hij wacht op een eigen baasje/bazinnetje. Pippo is een lieve hond. Hij is sociaal naar mensen en andere honden. Ook katten is geen probleem. Hij vindt het heerlijk om geknuffeld te worden. En doet zijn best om alles goed te doen. Wij zoeken voor Pippo liefdevolle baasjes die hem het heerlijke leven kunnen geven dat hij zo verdient.

About Pippo

What life with Pippo looks like

Pippo 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 Pippo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pippo?
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 Pippo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pippo 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 Pippo 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 Pippo 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 Pippo 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.
