Ries

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Ries is a lively Jack Russell mix puppy almost 4 months old. He's a young boy full of life! Despite his small size, he's full of energy and isn't easily impressed. He loves adventures! Ries clearly has the true terrier character: active, adventurous and with a strong will. He often knows exactly what he wants and has a clear opinion. His future owners must take into account that he needs plenty of exercise, challenges and clear rules and structure. Fortunately, Ries is also very smart and eager to learn. He picks up new things quickly and enjoys working together. Of course, he's still a puppy and has to learn a lot. He's almost fully potty trained, but accidents still happen occasionally. That's just part of the process at this age! Ries also likes to play with other dogs. He can be a bit clumsy, but that's mostly due to his enthusiasm. He prefers to play and run around all day. An active family that likes to go on adventures with him and has enough time for him would be great. Ries finds it difficult to be alone at the moment. He's simply too young for that and will need to learn and build this up slowly. We're looking for owners who have experience with or are willing to learn about the terrier character. People who enjoy being active with him, provide him with enough challenges and guide him in his development with patience, love and clarity.

Kleine Ries is een vrolijk Jack Russell-kruisinkje van bijna 4 maanden oud. Een echt jong ventje dat volop in het leven staat! Ondanks zijn kleine formaat zit hij boordevol energie en is hij niet snel ergens van onder de indruk. Geen avontuur is hem te gek! Ries heeft duidelijk het echte terriërkarakter: actief, ondernemend en met een eigen willetje. Hij weet soms al heel goed wat hij wil en heeft dan ook best een duidelijke mening. Zijn toekomstige baasjes moeten er dus rekening mee houden dat hij voldoende beweging, uitdaging en vooral duidelijke regels en structuur nodig heeft. Gelukkig is Ries ook ontzettend slim en leergierig. Hij pakt nieuwe dingen snel op en vindt het leuk om samen bezig te zijn. Natuurlijk is hij nog maar een pup en moet hij nog het nodige leren. Zo is hij al bijna helemaal zindelijk, maar gebeurt er af en toe nog weleens een ongelukje. Dat hoort er op deze leeftijd natuurlijk gewoon bij! Ook met andere honden speelt Ries graag. Hij kan daarbij soms nog een beetje lomp zijn, maar dat komt vooral door zijn enthousiasme. Het liefst speelt en rent hij de hele dag vrolijk rond. Een actief gezin dat graag met hem op pad gaat en voldoende tijd voor hem heeft, zou dan ook heel fijn zijn. Alleen thuis blijven vindt Ries op dit moment nog lastig. Hij is daar simpelweg nog wat te jong voor en zal dit rustig moeten leren en opbouwen. Voor Ries zoeken we baasjes die ervaring hebben met of zich goed willen verdiepen in het terriërkarakter. Mensen die het leuk vinden om actief met hem bezig te zijn, hem voldoende uitdaging bieden en hem met geduld, liefde en duidelijkheid verder begeleiden in zijn ontwikkeling.

About Ries

What life with Ries looks like

Ries is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem in Netherlands.

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. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇳🇱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 Ries, answered.

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