How do I contact the shelter about Tim?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Straydogs Rescue Nederland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tim on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tim if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Straydogs Rescue Nederland 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 Tim 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 Tim 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 Straydogs Rescue Nederland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tim 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.

Tim

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Information: In May 2024, some of our team members visited Elisa's private animal shelter in Romania, with whom we work closely. They met Tim and cuddled and walked with him. Tim is a sweet, cheerful dog who was extremely happy to receive some attention. During the walk, he was very enthusiastic and cheerful. In March, June, and October 2025, and in March 2026, we visited Elisa's animal shelter again and spent time with Tim once more, and what a dear he is! It's hard to believe that the first time we met him, he was still a puppy! Now he is an adult dog with a great character. In the video "Discover the world with Tim ☀️" you can see how enthusiastic he is about exploring the world. Every scent must be sniffed, but the companion is also closely watched. Tim is cheerful, loving, and affectionate, a dog who would be a great addition to any family that can understand and guide him. Tim enjoys our walks with him with a big G! Further on, one of the other team members walked with Kira, which he found a bit exciting, but just staying in place, giving him support, and observing together helped him get through it, after which we could continue walking relaxed. Unfortunately for Tim, he is not very photogenic, which makes him more likely to be overlooked. Additionally, he doesn't have his coat color. Because strange but true: black dogs are less likely to be adopted, they often become the long-term residents in animal shelters. While he is an extremely nice dog! Want to know more about why black dogs often become the long-term residents in shelters? Read this article: Black dogs - why do they have less chance of being adopted? Tim would love to enjoy daily attention, delicious food, and a soft spot to sleep beautifully. Who has a five-star spot for this lovely dog?

Informatie: In mei 2024 is een aantal van onze teamleden een week lang op bezoek geweest bij Elisa's privé asiel in Roemenië, waarmee we intensief samenwerken. Ze hebben onder andere Tim ontmoet en met hem geknuffeld en gewandeld. Tim is een lieve, vrolijke hond, hij was ontzettend blij om even wat aandacht voor zichzelf te krijgen. Tijdens het wandelen was hij erg enthousiast en vrolijk. In maart, juni en oktober 2025 en in maart 2026 zijn we weer op bezoek geweest bij het asiel van Elisa en hebben we opnieuw tijd met Tim doorgebebracht en wat een lieverd is het! Dan te bedenken dat de eerste keer dat we hem ontmoetten hij nog maar een pupje was! Nu is hij een volwassen hond met een geweldig karakter. In het filmpje "Ontdek de wereld met Tim ☀️" zie je hoe enthousiast hij de wereld verkend. Ieder geurtje moet besnuffeld worden, maar de begeleider wordt ook goed in de gaten gehouden. Tim is vrolijk, lief en aanhankelijk, een hond die een geweldige toevoeging is aan ieder gezin die hem goed kan begrijpen en begeleiden. Tim geniet van onze wandelingen met hem met een hoofdletter G! Verderop liep één van de andere teamleden met Kira, dat vond hij wat spannend, even pas op de plaats, hem steun geven en samen observeren hielp hem er doorheen, waarna we samen ontspannen verder konden wandelen. Helaas voor Tim is hij niet heel fotogeniek, wat er voor zorgt dat hij sneller over het hoofd gezien wordt. Daarnaast heeft hij ook zijn vachtkleur niet mee. Want raar maar waar: Zwarte honden worden minder snel geplaatst, zij worden vaak de langzitters in het asiel. Terwijl hij een ontzettend leuke hond is!Meer weten over waarom zwarte honden vaak de langzitters in asielen worden? Lees dan dit artikel: Zwarte honden - waarom maken ze minder kans op adoptie? Tim zou heel graag heerlijk genieten van dagelijkse aandacht, lekker eten en een zachte ligplek om heerlijk te slapen. Wie heeft er een 5-sterren plek voor deze lieve hond?

About Tim

What life with Tim looks like

Tim is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Straydogs Rescue Nederland in RC Nieuwe Pekela.

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.
