How do I contact the shelter about Stef?

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 Stef on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Stef 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 Stef 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 Stef 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 Stef 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.

Stef

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Stef is looking for a loving home. Stef is a cheerful, enthusiastic dog who thoroughly enjoys walking, playing, and going on adventures together. He has a friendly personality and loves being part of his owner’s daily life. At the moment, Stef still carries a few extra pounds, but he’s well on his way to a fitter and healthier lifestyle. A new owner who can continue guiding him toward this goal—with plenty of exercise and a healthy lifestyle—would be ideal for him. We’re looking for an experienced dog lover to take Stef in. He can display possessive behavior around food, so he wouldn’t be a good fit for a family with children or a household where children frequently come and go. We’re also seeking a home for him that doesn’t have any cats. Stef gets along well with other dogs, though this varies depending on the individual dog and the situation. Stef can happily spend a few hours alone at home. Above all, he’d love an owner who provides him with clear guidance, structure, and plenty of exercise. In the right environment, Stef will grow into a loyal and cozy companion who loves sharing life with his human. ?

Stef zoekt een liefdevol thuis Stef is een vrolijke hond die enorm geniet van wandelen, spelen en samen op avontuur gaan. Hij heeft een vriendelijk karakter en maakt graag deel uit van het dagelijkse leven van zijn baasje. Momenteel draagt Stef nog een paar extra kilo’s met zich mee, maar hij is al goed op weg naar een fitter en gezonder leven. Een nieuw baasje dat hem daarbij verder wil begeleiden met voldoende beweging en een gezonde levensstijl zou voor hem ideaal zijn. Voor Stef zoeken we een ervaren hondenliefhebber. Rondom eten kan hij namelijk bezitterig gedrag vertonen, waardoor hij niet geplaatst wordt in een gezin met kinderen of in een huishouden waar regelmatig kinderen over de vloer komen. Ook zoeken we voor hem een thuis zonder katten. Met andere honden kan Stef goed overweg, al verschilt dit per hond en situatie. Stef kan prima een paar uurtjes alleen thuis zijn. Het allerliefst vindt hij een baasje dat hem duidelijke begeleiding, structuur en voldoende beweging biedt. In de juiste omgeving zal Stef uitgroeien tot een trouwe huisgenoot.

About Stef

What life with Stef looks like

Stef is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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.
