Uva

Podenco · Female · Young · 1 year

Asiel Eleos: Input 2 July 2026: Like many podencos, Uva has a sad past. She lived on a farm with her mother but her owner wanted to get rid of her (and her two brothers) and brought them to Eleos. Despite this, Uva is a very sweet dog. She is affectionate and cheerful. She is social with both dogs and people. Uva is a huge cuddle bug and doesn't care who she's with; big or small, man or woman. She loves playing with both dogs and people. As befits a real podenco, she loves walking and running, so an active person would be a great match for her. While walking, she takes in everything around her and clearly marvels at all the little things she sees, like a butterfly fluttering by. She stops to watch it intently. Indoors, she behaves calmly and neatly. It's not entirely clear how she gets along with cats, but she is completely non-aggressive, so we don't expect that to be a problem

Asiel Eleos: Input 2 juli 2026: Zoals ze veel podenco’s heeft ook Uva een triest verleden. Zij leefde met haar moeder op een boerderij maar haar eigenaar wilde van haar (en haar 2 broertjes) af en bracht hen naar Eleos. Ondanks dit is Uva een erg lieve hond. Ze is aanhankelijk en vrolijk. Ze is sociaal naar zowel honden als mensen. Uva is een enorme knuffelkont en het maakt haar niet uit met wie; groot of klein, man of vrouw. Ze speelt graag zowel met honden als mensen. Zoals het een echte podenco betaamt houdt ze van wandelen en rennen dus een actief mens zou erg bij haar passen. Tijdens het wandelen neemt ze veel in zich op en verwondert zich duidelijk over allerlei kleine dingen die zij ziet zoals een vlinder die rondfladdert. Ze blijft dan even staan om deze aandachtig te volgen. In huis gedraagt zij zich rustig en netjes. Hoe ze met katten is, is niet helemaal duidelijk maar ze is totaal niet agressief dus we verwachten dat dat geen probleem is

About Uva

What life with Uva looks like

Uva is a large young adult podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Uva, answered.

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