Rio ♂ pup

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy

Little Rio was thrown onto a rubbish heap in Bosnia together with his sisters when they were only a few weeks old. We took them in and cared for them as well as we could, but only Rio, his sister Iris and Nera survived. The others succumbed to parvo. Fortunately, Rio was not affected much by it. He is always happy, playful, cheerful and sweet. He gets along with all other dogs and is used to cats and children. Rio was born around 21-04-2026. He weighs only 6.5 kilos and is 20 cm tall, so he won't grow very big. Rio is vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed, and he can come to the Netherlands at the end of August.

Kleine Rio werd in Bosnië samen met zijn zusjes bij het vuilnis gegooid toen ze nog maar een paar weken oud waren . We hebben ze meegenomen en zo goed mogelijk verzorgd, maar alleen Rio en zijn zusje Iris en Nera overleefden het. De anderen bezweken aan de parvo. Rio heeft er gelukkig weinig van meegekregen. Hij is altijd blij en speels en vrolijk en lief. Hij kan met alle andere honden en is gewend aan katten en kinderen. Rio is ongeveer 21-04-2026 geboren. Hij is slechts 6,5 kilo en 20 cm hoog. Hij zal dus niet zo groot worden. Rio is geënt, gechipt en ontwormd en kan eind augustus meekomen naar Nederland.

About Rio ♂ pup

What life with Rio ♂ pup looks like

Rio ♂ pup is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at stichting Idemo 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 Rio ♂ pup, answered.

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