How do I contact the shelter about Vlekkie?

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 Vlekkie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Vlekkie 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 Vlekkie 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 Vlekkie 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 Vlekkie 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.

Adopt Vlekkie

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 4 months

animal shelter Tenerife (Sabine) Input 16 april 2026: Vlekkie was born at our animal shelter. Her mother, Violeta, came from a hunter and was brought in very pregnant. This little one is easy to recognize because, as you might guess, of that funny spot on her nose! But also in terms of character, she stands out... Vlekkie is actually a big cuddle bottom. That's why the photos are not really the best because madam prefers to lie on your lap, in your arms or with that lovely nose straight into your camera. But the videos are very sweet and give a good atmosphere impression of our cuddle sessions. When you see that look... you just can't say no, and she knows that! Vlekkie doesn't have a backpack but will have to learn everything yet. Because she is not fully vaccinated, she cannot go further outside yet. Once safe, we will quickly start with short walks so she can get used to the leash. Until then... we will just keep cuddling and handing out treats! Vlekkie can travel to NL from mid-May. Hopefully, by then a kind family is eager to take her into their arms and show her the beautiful outdoors!

Asiel Tenerife (Sabine) Input 16 april 2026: Vlekkie is bij ons in het asiel geboren. Haar moeder, Violeta, kwam van een jager en werd hoogzwanger binnengebracht. Dit kleintje is makkelijk te herkennen door, jullie raden het al, dat grappige vlekkie op haar neusje! Maar ook qua karakter springt ze er tussen uit... Vlekkie is namelijk een grote knuffelkont. Vandaar dat de foto’s niet echt de beste zijn want madam ligt nergens liever dan op schoot, in je armen of met dat heerlijk neusje recht in je camera. Maar de filmpjes zijn wel heel lief en geven een goede sfeerimpressie van onze knuffel sessies. Als je die blik ziet... kan je gewoon geen nee zeggen, en dat weet ze!Vlekkie heeft geen rugzakje maar zal wel alles nog moeten leren. Omdat ze nog niet helemaal ingeënt is komt ze hier nog niet verder buiten. Eenmaal veilig, gaan we snel beginnen met korte wandelingen zodat ze aan de riem kan wennen. Tot dan... gaan we gewoon nog even verder met knuffelen en snoepjes uitdelen!Vlekkie kan vanaf half mei naar NL reizen. Hopelijk staat tegen die tijd een lieve familie te popelen om haar in hun armen te nemen en de mooie buitenwereld te laten zien!

About Vlekkie

What life with Vlekkie looks like

Vlekkie is a medium-sized puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇳🇱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.
