Şanslı

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Sansli is a beautiful Retriever mix with a name that suits her perfectly: Şanslı means "lucky" or "lucky charm" in Turkish. She lived on the streets of Göcek and had two puppies. She ate whatever she could find on the streets or in trash cans. As a Retriever mix, she wasn't picky. Because no one looked after her and her puppies, the Göcek animal shelter decided to take her off the streets. The Göcek shelter is run with dedication by a number of Turkish and foreign volunteers. Since a law came into force in Turkey a few years ago, street dogs are no longer safe. Most dogs end up in the notorious municipal shelters. Şanslı, meaning "lucky" or "lucky charm," has certainly been lucky that the Göcek shelter took care of her. Meet Sansli, a beautiful Retriever mix with a name that fits her perfectly: Şanslı means "lucky" or "lucky charm" in Turkish. 🍀 Sansli is currently still in the shelter in Turkey, but she has not lost her cheerful character. She is a cheerful, enthusiastic and affectionate dog who loves attention, companionship and the little things in life. She is social with the other dogs in the shelter. Living on the streets, she was used to encountering cats. In her enthusiasm, she still tends to pull on the leash. And there will probably be more points to be put on the i regarding education, but we estimate that she is eager enough to learn. Who can make this young lady happy?

Het verhaal van Şanslı: Şanslı leefde op straat in Göcek en kreeg 2 pups. Ze at wat ze op straat of in vuilnisbakken aan eten vond. Als retriever-kruising was ze niet kieskeurig. Omdat niemand naar haar en haar pups omkeek, besloot het asiel in Gocek haar van straat te halen. Asiel Göcek wordt met veel toewijding gerund door een aantal Turkse en buitenlandse vrijwilligers. Sinds een paar jaar geleden een wet in Turkije van kracht is geworden, zijn straathonden hun leven niet meer zeker. De meeste honden komen in de slecht bekend staande gemeentelijke asielen terecht. Şanslı – wat “geluk” betekent – heeft dus zeker geluk gehad dat asiel Göcek zich over haar ontfermd heeft. Maak kennis met Sansli , een prachtige Retriever-kruising met een naam die haar perfect past: Şanslı betekent in het Turks namelijk “ gelukkig” of “geluksvogel”. 🍀 Sansli verblijft momenteel nog in het asiel in Turkije, maar ze heeft haar vrolijke karakter absoluut niet verloren. Ze is een opgewekte, enthousiaste en aanhankelijke hond die blij wordt van aandacht, gezelschap en de kleine dingen van het leven. Ze is sociaal met de andere honden in het asiel. Op straat levend, was ze gewend katten tegen te komen. In haar enthousiasme heeft ze nog wel de neiging aan de lijn te trekken. En er zullen vast wel meer puntjes op de i moeten worden gezet qua opvoeding, maar we schatten in dat ze leergierig genoeg is. Wie mag deze jongedame gelukkig maken?

About Şanslı

What life with Şanslı looks like

Şanslı is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Wereldhonden 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 Şanslı, answered.

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