Adopt Ron

Podenco · Male · Puppy · 11 months

AMI Acogidas Malakitas Internacional Input 26 February 2026: Ron and his brothers and sisters were found only a few weeks old in a rural area far from the city. They were scared and helpless, without food or water, seeking warmth and protection together. Nevertheless, fate intervened that day, because someone found them and they were saved from misery and abandonment. Since then, both he and his sister Triana have lived in a foster family while waiting for a loving adoptive family.Ron is a treasure, a very affectionate and obedient puppy. He is a young Podenco with a fresh and tender spirit, ideal for any family. He has a lively and alert personality and a noble and loving dog. When we first met him, he was the most shy and cautious of his brothers and sisters, but once he understood the joy of human connection, he became a very affectionate and devoted puppy who loves to sniff and constantly seeks affection. Ron is, like every Podenco, active, energetic and athletic. He loves walks, nature, running, sports and spending time with his family. For this reason, we are looking for an active family that likes to include their dog in their outdoor activities. Ron is a very social and extroverted puppy who lives with his sister Triana, with whom he plays and interacts a lot; they are almost inseparable. He can also get along well with other dogs. He loves children, although he becomes so enthusiastic around them that he has difficulty controlling his enthusiasm and energy. We are looking for a home for Ron where his physical and mental needs, like any puppy of his age, are met - a family that understands what adopting a living being entails and that will spend time on his training and development. In return, he will be willing to show you what unconditional love is.

AMI Acogidas Malakitas Internacional Input 26 februari 2026: Ron en zijn broers en zussen werden slechts een paar weken oud gevonden in een landelijk gebied ver van de stad. Ze waren bang en hulpeloos, zonder eten of water, op zoek naar warmte en bescherming bij elkaar. Desondanks greep het lot die dag in, want iemand vond hen en ze werden gered uit ellende en verlating. Sindsdien wonen zowel hij als zijn zus Triana in een pleeggezin terwijl ze wachten op een liefdevol adoptiegezin.Ron is een schatje, een zeer aanhankelijke en volgzame puppy. Hij is een jonge Podenco met een frisse en tedere geest, ideaal voor elk gezin. Hij heeft een levendige en alerte persoonlijkheid en een nobele en liefdevolle hond. Toen we hem voor het eerst ontmoetten, was hij de meest verlegen en voorzichtige van zijn broers en zussen, maar zodra hij de vreugde van menselijke verbinding begreep, werd hij een zeer liefdevolle en aanhankelijke puppy die dol is op snuffelen en voortdurend genegenheid zoekt. Ron is, zoals elke Podenco, actief, energiek en atletisch. Hij houdt van wandelingen, de natuur, hardlopen, sporten en genieten van tijd met zijn gezin. Om deze reden zoeken we een actief gezin dat graag hun hond betrekt bij hun buitenactiviteiten. Ron is een zeer sociale en extraverte puppy die samenwoont met zijn zus Triana, met wie hij veel speelt en omgaat; Ze zijn haast onafscheidelijk. Hij kan ook goed opschieten met andere honden. Hij houdt van kinderen, hoewel hij zo enthousiast wordt bij hen dat hij moeite heeft zijn enthousiasme en energie te beheersen.We zoeken een thuis voor Ron waar aan zijn fysieke en mentale behoeften, zoals bij elke puppy van zijn leeftijd, wordt voldaan—een gezin dat begrijpt wat het adopteren van een levend wezen inhoudt en dat tijd zal besteden aan zijn training en ontwikkeling. In ruil daarvoor zal hij bereid zijn je te laten zien wat onvoorwaardelijke liefde is.

About Ron

What life with Ron looks like

Ron is a medium-sized puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

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 Ron, answered.

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