How do I contact the shelter about Prince?

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

Can I adopt Prince if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Straydogs Rescue Nederland 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 Prince 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 Prince 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 Straydogs Rescue Nederland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Prince 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.

Prince

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

* For an explanation, please read Why we are cautious about placing foreign dogs with families with small children. Prince is a super cute dog who loves to make contact but still finds the world rather daunting. He arrived at the animal shelter as a young pup and has had little contact with people since then. When our team member visited Romania in January, he jumped up at her but panicked when she tried to pick him up. Unlike other dogs who let it happen and relax, Prince couldn't do that. Since then, we have met him several times, in March, May, June, and October 2025. Although he has taken some steps toward more confidence, he remains a cautious and sensitive dog. He needs a lot of time to warm up and can quickly panic about new things. He is very food- and people-oriented, so we have high hopes that with lots of attention, love, time, and a safe place here, he could still take beautiful steps forward. The videos at the bottom of this page give a good idea of this lovely, young pup! We place little Prince only in a household where another dog is already present, and where there is not too much visitors coming over. With a social dog by his side who can be a support and set a good example, we expect that Prince will become someone's lifelong companion. A Facebook message about Prince, end of September 2025: Unfortunately, he didn't come with his fawn color. Strange but true: Black dogs are placed more slowly. The hard reality means that he is less easily placed. Many black pups are slow to place and wait years for a home. Especially the young dogs who still find the world a bit daunting... Hopefully, Prince will escape this fate and can come to the Netherlands soon.

* voor een toelichting, lees Waarom wij voorzichtig zijn met het plaatsen van buitenlandse honden bij gezinnen met kleine kinderen alstublieft. Prince is een super lief hondje dat graag contact wil, maar de wereld nog wel erg spannend vindt. Hij is als jonge pup in het asiel terecht gekomen en heeft sinsdien weinig contact gehad met mensen. Toen ons teamlid in januari op bezoek was in Roemenië sprong hij tegen haar op, maar zodra ze hem op wilde tillen raakte hij in paniek. Daar waar andere honden het lieten gebeuren en zich ontspanden, lukte Prince dat niet. Sindsdien hebben we hem meerdere keren ontmoet, in maart, mei, juni en oktober 2025. Hoewel hij al wat stappen heeft gezet naar wat meer zelfvertrouwen, blijft hij een afwachtend en gevoelig hondje. Hij heeft veel tijd nodig om te ontdooien en raakt snel in paniek van nieuwe dingen. Hij is wel erg voer- en mensgericht, dus we hebben goeie hoop dat hij met veel aandacht, liefde, tijd en een veilige plek hier nog mooie stappen in zou kunnen zetten. De filmpjes onderaan deze pagina geven een goed beeld van deze mooie, kleine jonge hond! We plaatsen kleine Prince uitsluitend in een huishouden waar al een andere hond aanwezig is, en waar niet teveel bezoek over de vloer komt. Met een sociale hond aan zijn zij, die hem tot steun kan zijn en die het goede voorbeeld geeft, verwachten we dat Prince iemand's fantastische vriendje voor het leven wordt. Een Facebook bericht over Prince, eind september 2025: Helaas heeft hij zijn vachtkleur niet mee. Raar maar waar: Zwarte honden worden minder snel geplaatst. De harde realiteit betekent dat hij dus minder goed plaatsbaar is. Veel zwarte pups worden langzitters en zitten jarenlang te wachten op een huisje. Zeker de jonge honden die de wereld nog wat spannend vinden... Hopelijk blijft Prince dit lot bespaard en kan hij snel naar Nederland komen.

About Prince

What life with Prince looks like

Prince is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Straydogs Rescue Nederland in RC Nieuwe Pekela.

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.
