How do I contact the shelter about Rijk?

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

Can I adopt Rijk if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Pippi 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 Rijk 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 Rijk 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 Pippi early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rijk 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.

Rijk 27-02-2024 Meet Rijk, our handsome look-alike of a Labrador! With his love for water and endless playfulness, Rijk is a valuable addition to any family. Rijk always puts a smile on your face. 30-09-2023 🐾 New Arrivals: Sam and Rijk! 🐾 Recently, the paths of Pippi's and two fluffy tailed ones named Sam and Rijk crossed. Their story began tragically when they lost their mother and wandered alone on the streets, without food, water, and their mother's protection. Sometimes we just can't help following our hearts, even when our heads tell us we're already full. And so Sam and Rijk found their way into our lives, with their irresistible charm and innocent gaze. Thankfully, they now have a safe haven at Pippi's. We have lovingly taken them in and will do everything we can to help them recover from the traumas they've experienced. These two cuties are the new stars of our shelter, and we will do our utmost to find them a warm and loving home. Sam and Rijk, welcome to the Pippi's family! 🐾❤️ By becoming an adoption parent, you make a direct contribution to the shelter and care of the animals at Curacao. This helps fund food, medicine, veterinary care, and housing for Rijk. Adopt Rijk now for 5,- per month.

Rijk zorgt altijd voor een glimlach op je gezicht. 30-09-2023 🐾 Nieuwe Aankomsten: Sam en Rijk! 🐾 Onlangs kruisten de paden van Pippi's en twee kleine kwispelende staartjes genaamd Sam en Rijk. Hun verhaal begon tragisch toen ze hun moeder verloren en moederziel alleen op straat ronddoolden, verstoken van voedsel, water en de bescherming van hun moeder. Soms kunnen we gewoon niet anders dan ons hart volgen, zelfs als ons hoofd ons vertelt dat we al overvol zitten. En zo kwamen Sam en Rijk in ons leven, met hun onweerstaanbare charme en onschuldige blik. Gelukkig hebben ze nu een veilige haven gevonden bij Pippi's. We hebben hen liefdevol opgenomen en zullen er alles aan doen om hen te helpen herstellen van de trauma's die ze hebben meegemaakt. Deze twee knapperds zijn de nieuwe sterren van onze opvang, en we zullen ons uiterste best doen om voor hen een warm en liefdevol thuis te vinden. Sam en Rijk, welkom bij de Pippi's familie! 🐾❤️ Door adoptieouder te worden, lever je een directe bijdrage aan de opvang en verzorging van de dieren op Curacao.

About Rijk

What life with Rijk looks like

Rijk is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Pippi in Netherlands.

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.
