Adopt Vaiana

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Vaiana; an amazing, loving, affectionate, funny, cheerful and nice lady of 5 years old! And for this beauty we are looking for kind people who want to make her happy! Vaiana immediately brings a smile to your face, because when she sees you, her whole body shakes and she can't stop wagging her tail. She loves being with you, enjoys going for walks with you, plays with you and is very cheerful. Vaiana comes from Spain, where she was found on the street when people were bullying her. So sad, because Vaiana really wants to be with you... Fortunately, she quickly found a home here and it turned out to be great in the house. Unfortunately, the situation changed and it was fairer for her to come back to us to find a new home. Vaiana is really a wonderful lady who makes you happy right away. She is crazy about people and loves being with you, hugging you and is truly a people dog! She also enjoys going out with you and walks nicely on the leash. Also at home she was housebroken, got into the car, could be alone well and was really very well-behaved! Vaiana doesn't have much to do with dogs. She completely ignores dogs she meets and feels absolutely no need to have contact with them. If a dog keeps being pushy, she will give it a growl to leave her alone and then goes her own way. In itself, this is perfectly fine, but something to know. After all, she won't be jumping to go to a busy off-leash area every day. She prefers just to take walks with only her owner(s). Still, there was once a small dog that went walking with her, which left her alone and then it wasn't a problem. Cats are strange creatures to Vaiana and therefore we don't place her with a cat. Vaiana really loves everyone and we think she can live well with children. For Vaiana we are therefore looking for kind people who really want a companion. People who will love her immensely and are simply looking for a nice, satisfied dog. People who also don't feel the need to visit busy dog parks and who, just like us, will be happy because of her cheerfulness!

Vaiana; een geweldig lieve, aanhankelijke, grappige, vrolijke en fijne dame van 5 jaar jong! En voor deze schoonheid zoeken wij lieve mensen die haar gelukkig willen maken! Vaiana brengt meteen een glimlach op je gezicht, want als zij je ziet, dan gaat haar hele lijf schudden en ze kan dan niet stoppen met kwispelen. Ze vindt het fantastisch om bij je te zijn, gaat heel graag met je mee wandelen, speelt graag met je en is heel vrolijk. Vaiana komt oorspronkelijk uit Spanje, waar ze op straat werd gevonden toen mensen haar aan het pesten waren. Zo verdrietig, want juist Vaiana wil zo graag bij je zijn… Gelukkig vond zij hier vrij snel een huis en bleek het in huis ook geweldig te doen. Helaas veranderde de situatie en was het voor haar eerlijker om bij ons terug te komen om een nieuw huisje te vinden. Vaiana is echt een heerlijke dame waar je gewoon direct blij van wordt. Zij is stapelgek op mensen en vindt het enig om bij je te zijn, te knuffelen en is echt een mensenhond! Zij vindt het ook heel leuk om met je op pad te gaan en loopt dan keurig aan de riem. Ook in huis was zij zindelijk, ging mee de auto in, kon prima alleen zijn en was gewoon echt heel braaf! Vaiana heeft niet zoveel met honden. Zij wilt honden die ze tegenkomt ook volledig negeren en voelt absoluut geen behoefte om contact met ze te hebben. Als een hond opdringerig blijft doen zal ze die ook een snauw geven dat ze haar met rust moeten laten en gaat dan weer haar eigen weg. Op zich is dit natuurlijk helemaal prima, alleen wel iets om te weten. Zij zal er namelijk niet om staan te springen om dagelijks naar een druk losloopveldje te gaan. Zij maakt liever gewoon wandelingen met alleen haar baasje(s). Toch is er ook wel eens een klein hondje met haar mee geweest wandelen, die haar ook met rust laat en dan is dit ook geen probleem. Katten vindt Vaiana wat vreemde wezens en daarom plaatsen we haar niet bij een kat. Vaiana houdt werkelijk van iedereen en wij denken dat zij ook prima met kinderen kan wonen. Voor Vaiana zoeken wij dus lieve mensen die echt een maatje zoeken. Die ontzettend veel van haar gaan houden en die gewoon opzoek zijn naar een fijne tevreden hond. Die zelf ook niet de behoefte voelen om drukke hondenspeelweides op te zoeken en gewoon net als ons blij worden van haar vrolijkheid!

About Vaiana

What life with Vaiana looks like

Vaiana is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen in Netherlands.

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.

Note from the shelter: Prefers to avoid dog parks and busy off-leash areas due to disinterest in other dogs

🇳🇱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 Vaiana, answered.

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