Shila

Mixed Breed · Female · 7 months

Shila and her brothers were found on a cemetery when they were only about 40 days old. In the meantime, they are ready to look for their warm bed. Shila is expected to remain small in size (less than 10 kg). Shila is social with other dogs and cats, but may be a bit shy with people at first, but she quickly thaws. They are already practicing walking on a leash. Shila can pack her bags at the end of August.

Shila en haar broertjes werden gevonden op een begraafplaats toen ze pas zo’n 40 dagen oud waren. Intussen zijn ze klaar om op zoek te gaan naar hun warme mandje. Shila zal naar verwachting klein van formaat blijven (minder dan 10 kg). Shila is sociaal met andere honden en met katten, naar mensen kan ze in het begin even een beetje verlegen zijn, maar ze ontdooit snel. Ze zijn al goed aan het oefenen met het wandelen aan de riem. Shila mag eind augustus haar koffertje pakken.

About Shila

What life with Shila looks like

Shila is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Dogs on a Journey in Netherlands.

An 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 Shila, answered.

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