Shakira

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Dit is de lieve Shakira! Shakira werd verlaten gevonden in de middle of nowhere. Shakira is op zoek naar haar gouden mandje. Shakira loopt netjes mee aan de lijn. Ze is bijna volledig zindelijk. Shakira houdt van knuffelen. Ze smelt graag in je armen zodra je haar begint te knuffelen. Shakira is slim, leergierig en erg lief. Ze leert snel en kan het met iedereen die ze ontmoet goed vinden. Ze is gemakkelijk in de omgang en aanhankelijk. Shakira is gegarandeerd een bron van kwispelende energie en vreugde in huis. Tegenover andere honden reageert Shakira goed. Het is onbekend hoe Shakira op katten reageert. Dit zal uitgetest moeten worden. Tegenover kinderen reageert Shakira goed. Momenteel verblijft Shakira in een asiel. Shakira is gesteriliseerd. Shakira weegt 18 kilo. Shakira is 45 centimeter. Update September 2026: Helaas is Shakira nogal terughoudend en eerder timide. Ze woont de afgelopen vier maanden in een pleeggezin, maar de enige vooruitgang die ze heeft geboekt, is dat ze alleen nog maar in de buurt van de vrouw komt. Ze benadert de man helemaal niet. Dat betekent dat ze mogelijk door een man wordt mishandeld. Ze heeft ook nog veel training nodig aan de lijn. Zodra je haar aan de lijn doet, bevriest ze. Het pleeggezin doet er alles aan om haar te trainen, maar de vooruitgang is erg traag. Als er bezoek komt, verstopt ze zich achter de bank. Shakira heeft veel training nodig, ze lijkt veel trauma’s te hebben meegemaakt. Het pleeggezin werkt met een trainer… We raden voor Shakira mensen aan met veel ervaring met honden, die het geduld hebben om met haar te werken.

About Shakira

What life with Shakira looks like

Shakira is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Mirtos Animal Project in Netherlands.

An 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 Shakira, answered.

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