How do I contact the shelter about Poldi?

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

Can I adopt Poldi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — description 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 Poldi 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 Poldi 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 description early rather than rehoming privately; they know Poldi 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.

Adopt Poldi

Podenco · Male · Young · 1 year

MJM Spain Puppyhouse: Input 22 March 2026: He was found along a busy highway in Andalusia... small, vulnerable and completely alone. This lovely little podenco, born in July 2024, had no safe start in life. But despite everything he has been through, he has remained so incredibly kind. Poldi is a cheerful boy, enthusiastic and enjoys a walk very much. He is of medium size and has a tough appearance. But inside that tough body is a small and soft heart. Poldi has been in the animal shelter for a longer time now and must cope with the little attention he receives. When he has to go back to his kennel, he looks at you questioningly with his beautiful brown eyes... he really wants to go home. A place where he no longer has to wait, where he can crawl up against someone. A place where he can grow, play, cuddle and just be a dog. Poldi is neutered, vaccinated and has his own passport.

MJM Spain Puppyhouse: Input 22 maart 2026: Langs een drukke autoweg in Andalusië werd hij gevonden… klein, kwetsbaar en helemaal alleen. Dit lieve podencootje, geboren in juli 2024, had geen veilige start in het leven. Maar ondanks alles wat hij heeft meegemaakt, is hij zó ontzettend lief gebleven. Poldi is een vrolijke jongen, enthousiast en geniet enorm van een wandeling. Hij is een middelmaatje en best een stoere verschijning. Maar in dat stoere lijfje zit een klein en zacht hartje. Poldi zit nu al langere tijd in het asiel en moet het doen met de weinige aandacht die er is. Als hij terug moet in zijn kennel kijkt hij je vragend aan met z’n prachtige bruine ogen… hij wil zó graag mee naar huis. Een plek waar hij niet meer hoeft te wachten, waar hij tegen iemand aan mag kruipen. Een plek waar hij mag groeien, spelen, knuffelen en gewoon hond mag zijn. Poldi is gecastreerd, gevaccineerd en heeft z’n eigen paspoort.

About Poldi

What life with Poldi looks like

Poldi is a medium-sized young adult podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

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.
