How do I contact the shelter about Rosa?

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 Rosa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rosa 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 Rosa 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 Rosa 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 Rosa 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.

Adopt Rosa

Podenco · Female · Young · 3 years

Animal shelter Paws Patas: April 13, 2026: New video added. March 9, 2026: New photos added. Update January 21, 2026: Rosa loves cuddling and attention. Sometimes she needs to watch the cat from the tree a bit with new people. She walks nicely on a leash. She really likes going for walks. Wearing a jacket in winter is no problem. Update July 29, 2025: Rosa is a sweet girl who is still very fond of George, we think they have always lived together. She likes going for walks and walks well on a leash. Rosa is a very calm dog. She sometimes gets nervous around other dogs besides George. It would be fantastic if we could find a home for them together, but if that doesn't work out, Rosa will be fine alone. A very friendly girl who loves attention, but is also looking for a place where she can be alone to relax. Update May 6, 2024: Rosa walks well on a leash. Rosa and George are very attached to each other and very cookie driven, which is also visible from their weight. Who has the basket for Rosa and would like to go for a walk with her so she can lose the extra weight she currently has quickly! 5 new photos and video added. Input June 9, 2023: Rosa was found with George next to the highway. They were very hungry and exhausted. Rosa is a kind and gentle girl who loves cuddling. Due to lack of space, Rosa has not yet been tested with other dogs, but with George she is best friends. For Rosa it was a big problem at first to walk on a leash. But even with her, treats worked wonders and here too we did not give up. Now she walks on a leash as if she has always done it that way. She likes going for walks and this goes very well even without George. Rosa is a kind girl who loves attention and people, she plays well with toys or with George. There is no rivalry between them and they are simply fed together. Rosa is a kind and gentle girl, a companion for life, she will certainly be an asset for the family that has a lovely, own basket ready for her.

Asiel Paws Patas: 13 april 2026: Nieuwe video toegevoegd. 9 maart 2026: Nieuwe foto's toegevoegd. Update 21 januari 2026: Rosa houdt van knuffelen en aandacht. Soms moet ze met nieuwe mensen eerst een beetje de kat uit de boom kijken. Ze loopt netjes mee aan de riem. Gaat heel graag mee wandelen. Een jasje aan in de winter is geen probleem. Update 29 juli 2025: Rosa is een lief meisje dat nog steeds dol is op George, we denken dat ze altijd samen hebben gewoond. Ze gaat graag wandelen en loopt goed aan de lijn. Rosa is een heel rustige hond. Ze wordt wel eens nerveus van andere honden dan George. Het zou fantastisch zijn als we samen een thuis voor ze kunnen vinden, maar als dat niet lukt, redt Rosa het ook prima alleen. Een heel vriendelijk meisje dat dol is op aandacht, maar ook op zoek is naar een plek waar ze alleen kan zijn om te ontspannen. Update 6 mei 2024: Rosa loopt al goed mee aan de riem. Rosa en George zijn erg aan elkaar gehecht en heel erg koekjes gedreven, dat is ook wel aan hun kilo's te zien. Wie heeft het mandje voor Rosa en gaat lekker met haar aan de wandel zodat ze de kilo’s die ze nu teveel heeft snel weer kwijtraakt! 5 nieuwe foto's en video toegevoegd. Input 9 juni 2023: Rosa werd samen met George naast de snelweg gevonden. Ze hadden erge honger en waren uitgeput. Rosa is een lief en zachtaardig meisje wat dol is op knuffelen. Door gebrek aan ruimte is Rosa nog niet met andere honden getest maar met George is ze dikke vriendjes. Voor Rosa was het een groot probleem in het begin om aan de riem te lopen. Maar ook met haar deden worstjes wonderen en ook hier gaven we niet op. Nu loopt ze aan de riem of ze het nooit anders heeft gedaan. Ze gaat graag mee wandelen en ook zonder George gaat dit heel erg goed. Rosa is een lief meisje wat gek is op aandacht en mensen, ze speelt graag met speelgoed of met George. Er is geen voernijd tussen hun en ze worden gewoon samen tegelijk gevoerd. Rosa is een lief en zachtaardig meisje, een maatje voor het leven, ze zal zonder twijfel een aanwinst zijn voor de familie die voor haar een heerlijk, eigen mandje klaar heeft staan.

About Rosa

What life with Rosa looks like

Rosa is a large young adult podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
