Snowy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

This is Snowy, a lively 2-year-old West Highland White Terrier. An adventurous lady with a true terrier personality! She loves long walks, playing and going on adventures together. Snowy is very social with other dogs. However, she finds being alone at home difficult. That's why we are looking for a nice home for her where there is already a friendly dog friend. She is also familiar with cats; before she came to the shelter, she lived with other dogs and cats. Snowy gets along well with children. When things get too busy for her, she likes to retreat to her own quiet spot. It is therefore important that she also gets this space. Snowy has one small point to consider: she sometimes has an accident in the house. Her new owner will have to work on this with her calmly.

Dit is Snowy, een vrolijke West Highland White Terrier van 2 jaar oud. Een ondernemende dame met een echt terriërkarakter! Ze is dol op lange wandelingen, lekker spelen en samen op avontuur gaan. Snowy is ontzettend sociaal met andere honden. Alleen thuis zijn vindt ze daarentegen lastig. Daarom zoeken we voor haar het liefst een fijn thuis waar al een gezellig hondenvriendje woont. Ook katten zijn haar niet onbekend; voordat ze naar het asiel kwam, woonde ze samen met andere honden én katten. Met kinderen kan Snowy goed overweg. Wanneer het haar allemaal even te druk wordt, vindt ze het fijn om zich terug te trekken op haar eigen rustige plekje. Het is daarom belangrijk dat ze die ruimte ook krijgt. Snowy heeft nog een klein aandachtspuntje: af en toe heeft ze een ongelukje in huis. Haar nieuwe baasje zal hier samen met haar rustig aan moeten werken.

About Snowy

What life with Snowy looks like

Snowy is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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 Snowy, answered.

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