Simone

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

This is Simone! Simone was left with her two sisters at the shelter in the scorching sun. They were initially in a foster home together, but are now back at the shelter. Simone is a very friendly dog with lots of energy. She has just started training on a leash and is making rapid progress. Because she has little experience outside the shelter, she needs a home where she can discover new things at her own pace and build her confidence further. Simone gets along well with other dogs. She is very protective of her food and can become aggressive towards other dogs. She is now fed separately and this is going well. Simone has been in a foster home with cats. At first she was afraid of the cats, but after a while this improved, but she still prefers to keep her distance.

Dit is Simone! Simone is samen met haar 2 zussen achtergelaten bij de shelter in de brandende zon. Ze zaten eerst samen in een gastgezin, maar leven nu weer in de shelter. Simone is een zeer vriendelijke hond met veel energie. Ze is net begonnen met trainen aan de lijn en maakt snel vooruitgang. Omdat ze nog weinig ervaring heeft buiten het asiel, heeft ze een thuis nodig waar ze op haar eigen tempo nieuwe dingen kan ontdekken en haar zelfvertrouwen verder kan opbouwen. Simone kan goed omgaan met ander honden. Ze is wel heel beschermend richting haar eten en kan dan agressief worden richting ander honden. Ze krijgt nu apart eten en dit gaat goed. Simone heeft in een gastgezin gezeten met katten. In het begin was ze bang voor de katten, maar na een tijdje verbeterde dit zich, maar ze blijft liever op een afstand.

About Simone

What life with Simone looks like

Simone is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Mirtos Animal Project 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 Simone, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Simone?
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 Simone on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Simone 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 Simone 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 Simone 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 Simone 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.
