Adopt Topfitte Tofu

Keeshond · Male · Young · 2 years

This nice, gentle boy is Tofu; a 2-year-old Keeshond (born 29-12-2023). He came to us as a stray and has not been picked up by his owner. Tofu is a super nice and enthusiastic dog, but he can find new things exciting. For example, new things on walks, but also putting on a harness can be exciting. We are looking for someone who can guide him in a positive way. He loves playing and can have a lot of fun playing or pulling with a rope toy. Walking goes well, but if he encounters something he doesn't know, he can find it exciting for a moment. His reaction towards other dogs is mixed. Sometimes he finds it exciting and lies down when he sees another dog, while other times he really enjoys it, and sometimes his hormones take over and he is only focused on the other dog and nothing else. He is currently receiving supportive drops. Due to his uncertainty, we are unsure if castration is wise, as it could make him even more uncertain. Tofu can sometimes start to run due to overstimulation. When this happens, we try to calm him down gently. As a true Keeshond, Tofu makes his presence known. We have doubts whether he can be left alone at home. Therefore, we are looking for people who are often at home (or can arrange a babysitter) and can gradually get him used to being alone. Because of his uncertain behavior (running behavior) and because we don't know how he reacts to children, he is not placed with very young children. Tofu can be placed with children aged 16 and older. If you are interested in this boy, we would like to see a completed application form.

Deze leuke, lieve jongen is Tofu; een keeshond van 2 jaar (29-12-2023). Hij is als zwerver bij ons binnengekomen en niet meer door een eigenaar opgehaald. Tofu is een super leuke en enthousiaste hond, maar hij kan nieuwe dingen spannend vinden. Bijvoorbeeld nieuwe dingen op straat met wandelen, maar ook het aandoen van een tuigje is spannend. Wij zoeken iemand die hem hierbij op positieve wijze kan gaan begeleiden. Spelen vindt hij fantastisch en hij kan dan ook lekker stoeien of trekken met een flostouw. Wandelen zelf gaat ook goed, mits hij dus iets tegen komt wat hij nog niet kent dan kan hij dit even spannend vinden. Richting andere honden reageert hij wisselend. Soms vindt hij het spannend en gaat hij al liggen bij het zien van een andere hond, terwijl hij het een andere keer helemaal geweldig vindt en soms lopen zijn hormonen met hem weg en heeft hij alleen maar oog voor de andere hond en niks anders. Hij krijgt op dit moment ondersteunende druppels. Vanwege zijn onzekerheid twijfelen wij of castratie verstandig is, gezien dit hem nog onzekerder kan maken. Tofu kan vanuit overprikkeling soms gaan rijden. Op het moment dat hij dit doet, proberen wij hem hier op rustige wijze uit te krijgen. Als een echte keeshond laat Tofu van zich horen. Wij hebben onze twijfels of hij alleen thuis kan zijn. We zijn dus op zoek naar mensen die veel thuis zijn (of oppas kunnen regelen) en het alleen zijn rustig kunnen opbouwen. Door zijn onzekere gedrag (rijgedrag) en omdat we niet zeker weten hoe hij op kinderen reageert, wordt hij niet bij al te jongen kinderen geplaatst. Tofu zou bij kinderen vanaf 16 jaar kunnen. Mocht u interesse hebben in deze jongen, dan zien wij graag een ingevuld aanmeldformulier tegemoet.

About Topfitte Tofu

What life with Topfitte Tofu looks like

Topfitte Tofu is a young adult keeshond dog waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Topfitte Tofu, answered.

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