Tico

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Our little spontaneous friend is called Tico. He was born on May 5, 2025, and is the very definition of joyfulness. He has a great time playing with a ball, can sometimes be mischievous, has lots of energy, and loves to play super-fun games with the bigger dogs. Although he’s small, he’s incredibly brave. Tico has enormous ears and is absolutely hilarious to watch. He can also run really fast despite his short legs. Tico needs an owner who enjoys going out and about with him. He’s looking for someone who’s also active and energetic. If you think you’d be the right owner for this little teenager, please get in touch with us. Tico has received all his vaccinations and was recently neutered. Tico will arrive in the Netherlands in March and will then stay with his foster family. Call: 06-50800245 or fill out the form:

Hij zoekt iemand die ook lekker actief is. Denk jij dat je de juiste baas bent voor deze kleine puber, neem dan contact met ons op. Tico heeft al zijn vaccinaties gehad en is onlangs gecastreerd.

About Tico

What life with Tico looks like

Tico is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Huis voor Dieren 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 Tico, answered.

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