How do I contact the shelter about Raven?

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 Raven on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Raven 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 Raven 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 Raven 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 Raven 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.

Raven

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 11 months

Paws Patas Input 16 April 2026: A beautiful, sweet and affectionate female puppy with a gentle look and a curious heart. Raven was found along with her brothers and sisters after a phone call that led us deep into the mountain area. There, mother dog Romy had hidden her ten puppies in a fox hole, safely away from the outside world. A small, hidden nest full of new life. We immediately took action. One by one, we carefully took the puppies out of their hiding place, safely in our arms. Then it was time to approach mother Romy. She was frightened, on guard and completely confused, but with patience and care she was eventually also secured safely. Fortunately, she is doing well now. Raven is one of those ten miracles. She is a kind, affectionate girl who likes to be near you. Curious about everything happening around her, with that typical puppy energy that the world has yet to discover. She enjoys attention, comes gladly for cuddles and seeks contact with people in her own way. But Raven is also a mischievous pup. Playing tricks is naturally part of it: she loves digging holes and can amuse herself for hours with toys. With other dogs she plays enthusiastically and happily, always ready for a new adventure. Large dogs sometimes seem a bit exciting to her at first, but once she realizes they are approached calmly and kindly, she really comes to life and soon playfully challenges them. Raven has already learned to walk politely on a leash, and she does surprisingly well for her age. Of course, she still has to learn and discover more - but that's part of growing up. Because Raven is still young. A puppy with a whole life ahead of her, full of opportunities to grow, learn and connect. And exactly for that reason, we are looking for a loving home for her: a place where she can safely grow up and be completely herself.

Paws Patas Input 16 april 2026: Een prachtig, lief en aanhankelijk teefje met een zachte blik en een nieuwsgierig hart. Raven werd samen met haar broertjes en zusjes gevonden na een telefoontje dat ons diep het berggebied in leidde. Daar had moederhond Romy haar tien puppy’s verborgen in een vossenhol, veilig weggehouden van de buitenwereld. Een klein, verborgen nestje vol nieuw leven. We zijn meteen in actie gekomen. Eén voor één hebben we de puppy’s voorzichtig uit hun schuilplaats gehaald, veilig in onze armen. Daarna was het tijd om moeder Romy te benaderen. Ze was angstig, op haar hoede en volledig in de war, maar met geduld en zorg is ook zij uiteindelijk veilig gesteld. Inmiddels gaat het gelukkig heel goed met haar. Raven is één van die tien wondertjes. Ze is een lief, aanhankelijk meisje dat graag bij je in de buurt is. Nieuwsgierig naar alles wat er om haar heen gebeurt, met die typische puppy-energie die de wereld nog helemaal moet ontdekken. Ze geniet van aandacht, komt graag knuffelen en zoekt op haar eigen manier steeds contact met mensen. Maar Raven is ook een ondeugende pup. Kattenkwaad hoort daar natuurlijk bij: ze vindt het heerlijk om kuiltjes te graven en kan zich uren vermaken met speelgoed. Met andere honden speelt ze enthousiast en vrolijk, altijd klaar voor een nieuw avontuur. Grote honden vindt ze in het begin soms nog wat spannend, maar zodra ze merkt dat ze rustig en vriendelijk benaderd wordt, bloeit ze helemaal op en daagt ze hen al snel speels uit. Raven heeft inmiddels ook geleerd om netjes aan de riem te lopen, en dat doet ze al verrassend goed voor haar leeftijd. Natuurlijk moet ze nog verder leren en ontdekken—maar dat hoort bij opgroeien. Want Raven is nog jong. Een pup met een heel leven voor zich, vol kansen om te groeien, te leren en te verbinden. En precies daarvoor zoeken wij voor haar een liefdevol thuis: een plek waar ze veilig mag opgroeien en helemaal zichzelf mag zijn.

About Raven

What life with Raven looks like

Raven is a medium-sized puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all.
