How do I contact the shelter about Pita?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pita on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pita if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam 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 Pita 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 Pita 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 DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pita 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.

Pita

Female · Young · 1 year

Hey Pita here and I, along with many other rabbits, were rescued from the worst place on earth. We knew no daylight, clean water or enough food. We lived on wire mesh and had barely enough space to turn around. The only thing we had was each other 💚 At DOA we have to get used to a lot because we've only just arrived. Soft blankets, nutritious vegetables, space to jump and run, we didn't know what we were seeing!! Eventually we're all looking for a nice home where we'll be pampered like here and make up for all the love we missed! We can move in a group but we'd also like to date a rabbit looking for a (new) girlfriend. We don't know how old we are but I think around 1 year. Despite our past we're quite affectionate and very curious but we still have a few things to learn. Because we've known nothing but wire mesh for so long all new materials are fun to nibble on. Wooden fences, plastic house, rubber shoe sole from the carer.. We're also busy with toilet training. That's a lot of trouble!! Before we just peed and pooped and it just fell through the bars under us. So there's still some work to be done. And lastly we're not used to vegetables, but apparently they're very important for us. That's why we get a very small piece every day so our stomach can get used to it. Well enough said. Who oh who comes to meet us and gives us the life we've always missed?

Heeey Pita hier en samen met een heleboel andere konijnen ben ik gered uit de naarste plek op aarde. We kenden geen daglicht, schoon water of genoeg eten. We leefden op gaas/tralies en hadden nauwelijks ruimte om ons om te keren. Het enige wat we hadden was elkaar 💚 Bij DOA moeten we heel erg wennen want we zijn er pas net. Zachte kleedjes, voedzame groenten, ruimte om te springen en rennen, we wisten niet wat we zagen!! Uiteindelijk zoeken we allemaal een fijn huisje waar we net zo verwend gaan worden als hier en alle gemiste liefde kunnen inhalen! We kunnen met een groepje verhuizen maar zouden ook op date willen met een konijn die op zoek is naar een (nieuwe) vriendin. We weten niet zo goed hoe oud we zijn maar ik geloof rond de 1 jaar. Ondanks ons verleden zijn we best aanhankelijk en heel nieuwsgierig maar we moeten nog wel een aantal dingen leren. Omdat we heel lang alleen maar tralies hebben gekend is al het nieuwe materiaal nu leuk om even aan te knagen. Houten hekjes, plastic huisje, rubberen schoenzool van de verzorger.. Ook zijn we nu druk bezig met zindelijkheidstraining. Dat is me een partij lastig!! Voorheen plasten en poepten we, en dan viel het gewoon door de tralies onder ons. Dus er is nog wat werk aan de winkel. En als laatste zijn we niet gewend aan groenten, maar blijkbaar zijn die heel belangrijk voor ons. Daarom krijgen we elke dag een heeeeel klein stukje zodat onze maag kan wennen. Nouja, genoeg verteld. Wie oh wie komt ons ontmoeten en geeft ons het leven wat we altijd gemist hebben?

About Pita

What life with Pita looks like

Pita is a small young adult dog waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam 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.
