Safari

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Three little balls of fluff are growing up in the shelter. They were found in the bushes, abandoned as old trash. Luckily, an observant Italian found them in time and rescued them. Now these sweet puppies have a chance at a better future, where they are loved and wanted. Safari is one of these three fluffy darlings. He was born in May/June and is expected to grow into a medium size of about 60 cm tall. Safari is a cheerful, adventurous boy who thoroughly enjoys life. He loves to play with the other puppies, run after a ball and then cuddle up with you. A lovely boy with a playful character and a soft side! He has a friendly and open character and seems to like everyone. Safari is enthusiastic about life and wants to discover the world. However, a whole new world will open up for him in the Netherlands. Our busy country, with all the sounds, impressions and new situations, will be a bit of an adjustment. That's why we are looking for a sweet, patient owner for Safari who will give him time to settle in and guide him step by step through everything he still needs to learn. With love, trust and a little patience, Safari can grow into a wonderful loyal friend for life. Do you have a nice spot in your heart and home for this sweet boy? Maybe Safari will become your new companion for beautiful walks, play times and lots of cuddles!

Drie kleine bolletjes wol groeien op in de shelter. Ze werden gevonden in de bosjes, achtergelaten als oud vuil. Gelukkig kwam een oplettende Italiaan hen op tijd tegen en stelde hij ze veilig. Nu krijgen deze lieve pups de kans op een betere toekomst, waarin ze wél geliefd en gewenst zijn. Safari is een van deze drie pluizige lieverds. Hij is geboren in mei/juni en zal naar verwachting uitgroeien tot een grote middenmaat van ongeveer 60 cm hoog. Safari is een vrolijke, ondernemende jongen die volop geniet van het leven. Hij stoeit graag met de andere pups, rent achter een balletje aan en vindt het heerlijk om daarna even lekker bij je te komen knuffelen. Een heerlijk ventje met een speels karakter én een zachte kant! Hij heeft een vriendelijk en open karakter en lijkt iedereen leuk te vinden. Safari staat enthousiast in het leven en wil de wereld graag ontdekken. Toch zal er straks in Nederland een hele nieuwe wereld voor hem opengaan. Ons drukke landje, met alle geluiden, indrukken en nieuwe situaties, zal best even wennen zijn. Daarom zoeken we voor Safari een lieve, geduldige baas die hem de tijd geeft om rustig te wennen en hem stap voor stap begeleidt bij alles wat hij nog moet leren. Met liefde, vertrouwen en een beetje geduld kan Safari uitgroeien tot een geweldige trouwe vriend voor het leven. Heb jij een fijn plekje in je hart en huis voor deze lieve jongen? Misschien wordt Safari wel jouw nieuwe maatje voor mooie wandelingen, speelmomenten en heel veel knuffels! 

About Safari

What life with Safari looks like

Safari is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Paws Rescue Team 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 Safari, answered.

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