Toby

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 26 years

Toby is een vriendelijke, vrolijke hond die helaas met veel verdriet is afgestaan aan het asiel. Zijn vorige baasjes hadden hem overgenomen van een vriendin die niet meer voor hem kon zorgen. Helaas bleek dat de seniorhond die daar al woonde niet met Toby overweg kon. Daarom hebben zij, hoe moeilijk ook, moeten besluiten om Toby naar ons asiel te brengen. Toby is een sociale hond die goed luistert. Met teefjes kan hij het erg goed vinden. Met andere reuen is het wisselend, dus dit zal per hond bekeken moeten worden. Bij zijn eerste baasje leefde hij samen met een kat. Ook kan Toby goed een tijdje alleen zijn. Toby is daarnaast een actieve hond die erg van wandelen houdt. Hij gaat dan ook graag met je op pad om samen van de buitenlucht te genieten. Wel heb ik extra aandacht nodig als het om mijn voeding gaat. Ik heb namelijk allergieën en krijg daarom speciale brokken van Royal Canin Anallergenic. Deze voeding is belangrijk voor mij en daar moet ik de rest van mijn leven op blijven staan. Mijn nieuwe baasje moet hier dus wel rekening mee houden. Toby is gecastreerd en is geboren op 21 februari 2000. We zoeken voor Toby een fijn thuis waar rekening wordt gehouden met zijn voedingsbehoeften en waar hij een mooi, actief leventje kan leiden.

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Dierencentrum De Mère in Netherlands.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇳🇱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 Toby, answered.

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