Shaffi

Podenco · Female · Young · 1 year

Asiel Tenerife (Sabine): Input 19 oktober 2026: Shaffi werd helemaal alleen gevonden, verloren, vermagerd en teleurgesteld maar toch zoekend naar haar mens. Vanaf minuut een vertrouwde ze ons en merkten we dat ze heel graag bij iemand hoort, iemand volgt, iemand trouw is.Door het gebied waar we haar vonden, haar karakter en haar leeftijd denken we dat ze hoogstwaarschijnlijk door haar jager gedumpt werd nadat ze bewezen had dat ze niet voor de jacht nuttig was of ooit zou worden, want het enigste waar deze enorme lieverd op "jaagt" is liefde, aandacht en een knuffel!Shaffi is een prachtige en mensgerichte hond met een heerlijk ongecompliceerd en reuze gezellig karakter.Ze heeft geen angsten of trauma’s en staat ontzettend vrolijk in het leven.Shaffi luistert goed en is graag bij ons in de buurt.Ze staat altijd klaar voor een knuffel, een wandeling of een avontuur. Alles vindt ze even leuk en gezellig en met de kleinste beetjes aandacht is ze al enorm dankbaar.Het is een genot om haar bij je te hebben en haar enthousiasme is hoogst besmettelijk zowel voor mens als hond want hier in het asiel krijgt Shaffie echt iedereen zo gek en ver om te knuffelen of te spelen, wat een heerlijk portret is het toch!Shaffi zou zonder twijfel een enorm gezellige aanwinst zijn voor diegene die haar haar welverdiende kans kan bieden. Ze is echt geboren om bij een eigen familie te horen, een eigen mens trouw te mogen zijn en haar gekkigheid en levenslust te delen!Shaffi is rondom gezond, ingeënt en klaar om te reizen. We hopen dat ze snel wordt opgemerkt en een familie mag gaan verrijken.

About Shaffi

What life with Shaffi looks like

Shaffi is a medium-sized young adult podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shaffi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shaffi?
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 Shaffi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shaffi 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Shaffi 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 Shaffi 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 Shaffi 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.
