How do I contact the shelter about Saar?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. DOC Oldenzaal handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Saar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Saar if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — DOC Oldenzaal 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 Saar 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 Saar 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 DOC Oldenzaal early rather than rehoming privately; they know Saar 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.

Saar

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

Welcome Saar We have taken a little time to observe our new shelter guest. We have taken her for walks and seen what she finds interesting. Saar loves life. She happily jumps along the leash, absorbing her surroundings without reacting to traffic or other animals. Saar has a strong hunting instinct and is very athletic. Cats and/or other small pets are not an option. A fenced area with a 2-meter-high fence is no challenge for her to climb over, which she does very smoothly. But what a pleasure it is to go out with Saar. Such a nice energy, an attentive look that you always seek during the walks. This is not a dog that can be left alone somewhere, she really wants to be with her owner. She is cautious at first in approaching strange people but once in her heart, you are her companion. What an appealing, happy, funny, sensitive personality. We could tell you much more about this wonderful lady, who is 4 years and some months old, so if you are interested, please feel free to send us an email.

Welkom Saar We hebben heel even de tijd genomen om onze nieuwe asielgast te kunnen observeren. We hebben haar meegenomen en tijdens de wandelingen gezien wat ze allemaal interessant vond. Saar vindt het leven prachtig. Ze huppelt vrolijk aan de lijn mee, ondertussen haar omgeving in zich opnemend zonder daarbij te reageren op verkeer, mede soortgenootjes etc. Saar heeft wel een jachtinstinct en is zeer atletisch. Katten en/of andere kleine huisdieren is geen optie. Kinderen vanaf 12 jaar zou wel kunnen Een afgezet terrein met een 2 meter hoog hek is geen uitdaging voor haar om er overheen te klauteren, dat gaat heel soepeltjes. Maar wat een genot om met Saar op pad te gaan. Zo’n fijne energie, opmerkzame blik die je tijdens de wandelingen telkens op zoekt. Het is geen hond om alleen ergens te laten vertoeven, ze wil gewoon dolgraag bij haar baasje zijn. Ze is in het begin voorzichtig in het benaderen van vreemde mensen maar eenmaal in haar hart, dan ben je haar maatje. Wat een innemende, blije, grappige, sensitieve persoonlijkheid. We kunnen nog veel meer over deze pracht dame, van 4 jaar en enkele maanden, vertellen dus mocht u geïnteresseerd zijn, mailt u dan vooral even.

About Saar

What life with Saar looks like

Saar is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at DOC Oldenzaal in Netherlands.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇳🇱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.
