Ririka

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

Ririka is a young female dog found near a volunteer of the Zakynthos Animal Welfare Fund (ZAWF). This volunteer has a piece of land where he takes in dogs for ZAWF as foster homes. Residents seem to know about this, as it is no coincidence that Ririka was dumped nearby. Ririka was a young puppy, and the volunteer had to make room for her. It would be great if Ririka could find a warm bed in the Netherlands. Ririka is about 10 months old and weighs 12 kilograms. As soon as a foster family or adopter is found, she can travel to the Netherlands. Ririka is a small, enthusiastic dog. When she is let out of her kennel, she runs and jumps around for a while, which is understandable since the dogs can't run loose all day, and Ririka is also a puppy. So when she gets the chance, it's like a "crazy house" for a bit. Then she calms down a bit. Ririka is still a real playful puppy. The volunteer who recently visited her thinks she's a very nice dog. She's affectionate and sweet. Ririka appears to be a spaniel/Epagneul Breton mix. These are active dogs with a good nose. We are looking for people who want to work with Ririka. She still has a lot to learn. As a young puppy, she hasn't had much socialization, except with her caregiver and the other dogs. So there is work to be done. Not a bad thing, of course, with such a sweet, manageable little dog. We are looking for people with enough time and a good, enclosed garden in a quiet area. Preferably active people with some dog experience. Ririka will not be able to run loose for now, and we ask adopters to purchase a GPS tracker for more information about ZAWF. See: Zakynthos Animal Welfare Fund, Greece. Breed/Type: Spaniel mix Height: about 50 cm Origin: Zakynthos, Greece Location: Zakynthos, Greece How nice that you are interested in this World Dog. Please leave your details and we will contact you.

Het verhaal van Ririka: Ririka is gevonden in de buurt van een vrijwilliger van Zakynthos Animal Welfare Fund (ZAWF). Deze man heeft een stukje grond, waar hij als gastgezin voor ZAWF een aantal honden opvangt. Bewoners lijken dat te weten, want het is geen toeval dat Ririka net daar in de buurt is gedumpt. Ririka was nog een jonge pup, hij kon niet anders dan een plekje voor haar maken. Het zou fijn zijn als Ririka naar een warme mand in Nederland kan. Ririka is een maand of 10 oud en weegt nu 12 kilo. Zodra er een gastgezin of adoptant is gevonden, kan zijn naar Nederland reizen Ririka is een kleine enthousiaste dondersteen. Als ze uit de kennel mag, is ze eerste een tijdje supersnel aan het rondrennen en springen. Logisch want de honden kunnen niet de hele dag los en dan is Ririka ook nog eens een pup. Dus als ze dan de kans krijgt, is het even ‘gekkenhuis' Daarna komt ze wat meer tot rust. Ririka is nog een echte speelse pup. De vrijwilliger die er onlangs was, vindt het een heel leuk hondje. Lief en aanhankelijk. Ririka lijkt een mix spaniel/Epagneul Breton. Dat zijn sowieso actieve hondjes met een goede neus. We zoeken voor Ririka mensen die hiermee aan de slag willen gaan. Ze heeft echt nog wel e.e.a. te leren. Als jonge pup gevonden, niet veel socialisatie gehad, behalve met haar verzorger en de andere honden. Dus er is werk aan de winkel. Geen straf natuurlijk met zo'n lief, aanhandelijke spring-in-t-veldje. We zoeken mensen met genoeg tijd en een goede afgesloten tuin in een rustige omgeving. Het liefst actieve mensen met enige hondenervaring. Ririka zal voorlopig niet los kunnen lopen en we vragen adoptanten een gps tracker aan te schaffen voor meer informatie over ZAWF, zie: Zakynthos Animal Welfare Fund, Griekenland Ras/Type: kruising spaniel Schofthoogte: ong 50 cm Herkomst: Zakynthos, Griekenland Verblijfplaats: Zakynthos Griekenland Wat leuk dat u interesse heeft in deze Wereldhond.

About Ririka

What life with Ririka looks like

Ririka is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Wereldhonden 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 Ririka, answered.

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