Sparrow

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 11 months

Sparrow is a happy, sweet and friendly boy. He gets along well with other dogs and loves his caregivers. He enjoys playing with the other puppies, running around and of course, a good cuddle. Sparrow was born around the beginning of December and is expected to grow into a beautiful medium-sized dog of around 50-55 cm. But there is one thing Sparrow still needs to discover: how beautiful life outside the shelter can be. So far, he has only known life in a kennel. That's why he is looking for a loving, patient owner who will give him the time to learn everything. Someone who will take him for nice walks, play with him, discover new things together and guide him with love through everything a young dog still needs to learn. 

Sommige hondjes moeten nét wat langer wachten op hun kans… en Sparrow is daar helaas één van. Toen Sparrow nog maar drie maanden oud was, kwam hij via een inbeslagname in de opvang terecht. Inmiddels is hij eindelijk vrijgegeven voor adoptie en mag hij op zoek naar zijn eigen gouden mandje. En wat gunnen we hem dat! Sparrow is een vrolijke, lieve en vriendelijke jongen. Hij kan goed overweg met andere honden en is dol op zijn verzorgers. Hij geniet volop van het spelen met de andere pups, lekker rennen en natuurlijk van een heerlijke knuffel. Sparrow is geboren rond begin december en zal naar verwachting uitgroeien tot een mooie middenmaat van ongeveer 50-55 cm. Maar er is één ding wat Sparrow nog moet ontdekken: hoe mooi het leven buiten de opvang kan zijn. Tot nu toe kent hij eigenlijk alleen het leven in een hok. Daarom zoekt hij een lieve, geduldige baas die hem de tijd geeft om alles te leren. Iemand die lekker met hem gaat wandelen, spelen, samen nieuwe dingen ontdekt en hem met liefde begeleidt bij alles wat een jonge hond nog moet leren. 

About Sparrow

What life with Sparrow looks like

Sparrow is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Paws Rescue Team in Netherlands.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇳🇱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 Sparrow, answered.

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