Rita

Female · Puppy · 9 months

Rita, gesteriliseerd teefje, 8,5 maand, ca. 35 cm hoog, buitenland. Achtergrond. Rita werd achtergelaten midden in het centrum van een stad, samen met nog een paar andere honden. Ze zwierf daar al een paar weken rond, toen onze contactpersoon haar vond. En toen het hondje zag dat ze haar geen kwaad wilde doen, gaf ze onmiddellijk haar vertrouwen. Ze verblijft nu in een privé opvang en wacht hier op een nieuwe kans in Nederland. Karakter. Rita is een lief en aandoenlijk jong hondje. Ze is blij als ze aandacht krijgt. Ze vindt het heerlijk om met andere honden te spelen en ook speeltjes vindt ze geweldig. Ze is sociaal naar mensen, maar vindt het fijn als iemand haar gewoon rustig benadert. Rita is flexibel en heeft zich snel aangepast aan haar nieuwe omgeving. Voor dit lieve hondje ligt een mooie toekomst in het verschiet. Wie is het liefdevolle baasje/bazinnetje die dit met haar wil delen?

About Rita

What life with Rita looks like

Rita is a medium-sized puppy/kitten dog waiting at Stichting AAI in Amsterdam.

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 Rita, answered.

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