Adopt REIKO

Male · Adult · 5 years

Reïko arrived at the shelter after being abandoned, as he has shown predatory behaviors towards a newborn. Among us for a short time, we are getting to know him: he is a very human-friendly dog, curious, playful, and always ready for a walk or to learn new tricks! Very well educated, he knows how to be alone, doesn't destroy anything, and is very clean. Like a good Dutch herder, he is intelligent and full of energy: he will need adopters who know the breed well and can meet his needs to remain balanced. Reïko doesn't appreciate large dogs too much, due to bad experiences, but he tolerates small ones. He lived with a cat, but his feline relationships remain to be confirmed, as he had a tendency to prey on cats outside his home.

Reïko est arrivé au refuge suite à un abandon, car il a montré des comportements de prédation envers un nouveau-né. Depuis peu parmi nous, nous apprenons à le connaître : c’est un chien très proche de l’humain, curieux, joueur, et toujours partant pour une balade ou apprendre de nouveaux tours ! Très bien éduqué, il sait rester seul, ne détruit pas et est d’une grande propreté. Comme tout bon berger hollandais, il est intelligent et plein d’énergie : il lui faudra des adoptants connaissant bien la race, capables de répondre à ses besoins pour qu’il reste équilibré. Reïko n’apprécie pas trop les grands chiens, suite à de mauvaises expériences, mais il tolère les petits. Il vivait avec un chat, mais ses ententes félines restent à confirmer, car il avait tendance à prédater les chats hors de son foyer.

Frequently asked

Adopting REIKO, answered.

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