Ralph

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

This is Ralph! Ralph was left as a puppy at a shelter. He lived with a foster family for a while, but has been at the shelter for 2 years now. Ralph is a friendly dog who loves attention. As soon as people are in the shelter, he doesn't leave their side. Ralph can be a bit energetic at times, but this is likely to improve in a quieter environment. He loves walking and walks very well on a leash. Ralph gets along well with calm dogs, but he doesn't like loud dogs and prefers to avoid them. Because Ralph can be a bit energetic at times, it can be a bit tricky with children, but it's thought he can get used to this.

Dit is Ralph! Ralph werd als puppy achtergelaten bij e shelter. Hij heeft een tijdje in een gastgezin gewoond, maar woont nu al 2 jaar in de shelter. Ralph is een vriendelijke hond die graag aandacht krijgt. Zodra er mensen in de shelter zijn, wijkt hij niet van hun zijde. Ralph kan af en toe wat druk zijn, maar dit zal waarschijnlijk verbeteren in een rustigere omgeving. Hij houdt van wandelen en loopt erg goed aan de lijn. Ralph kan goed omgaan met rustige honden, maar hij houdt niet van drukke honden en gaat deze liever uit de weg. Omdat Ralph soms wat druk kan zijn, is dat soms lastig met kinderen, maar men denkt dat hij hieraan kan wennen.

About Ralph

What life with Ralph looks like

Ralph is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Mirtos Animal Project in Netherlands.

An 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 Ralph, answered.

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