Adopt Tonic

Female · Adult · 4 years

Heeey, my name is Tonic and together with my friend Zippy I am looking for a garden. We are both curious and adventurous but always check first if the cat is out of the tree, or the rabbit out of the hole? Well anyway, we love running, digging and snuggling together. Oh, and don't forget to feed us! We are social but we are not lap rabbits. Who has a nice garden where we can live comfortably?

Heeey, mijn naam is Tonic en samen met mijn vriend Zippy ben ik op zoek naar een tuintje. We zijn allebei nieuwsgierig en ondernemend maar kijken wel altijd eerst even de kat uit de boom, of het konijn uit het hol? Nouja hoe dan ook, we houden van rennen, graven en samen knuffelen. Oh, en vergeet eten niet! We zijn wel sociaal maar zijn geen schootkonijnen. Wie heeft er een lekker tuintje waar wij gezellig in kunnen wonen?

About Tonic

What life with Tonic looks like

Tonic is a adult dog waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Tonic, answered.

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