Stef

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Steve … A beautiful 7-year-old red fox Labrador who, after a life as a stud, is now ready for a whole new chapter. A chapter where he can just be a dog. After everything he's used to, life in a new home will be an adjustment for him too. But we'd love to give him a place where he can get peace, love, and attention. Where he can walk, explore, and most of all, enjoy himself. For more information, please call or email the shelter.

Knappe Stef … Een prachtige red fox Labrador van 7 jaar oud, die na zijn leven als dekreu nu klaar is voor een heel ander hoofdstuk. Een hoofdstuk waarin hij gewoon lekker hond mag zijn. Na alles wat hij gewend is, zal ook voor hem het leven in een nieuw huis even wennen zijn. Maar we gunnen hem zo ontzettend graag een plekje waar hij rust, liefde en aandacht krijgt. Waar hij lekker mee mag wandelen, ontdekken en vooral genieten. Voor meer info mag er gebeld of gemaild worden naar de opvang.

About Stef

What life with Stef looks like

Stef is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at DOC Oldenzaal 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 Stef, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Stef?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. DOC Oldenzaal 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 — DOC Oldenzaal 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 DOC Oldenzaal 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.
