Vlinder

Old English Sheepdog · Female · Young · 3 years

Meet Vlinder, a 3-year-old cat. Vlinder is very anxious and needs time to adjust to a new environment. She won't seek out attention right away, but will observe from a distance. We are looking for a quiet home where she can build trust at her own pace. With patience, understanding, and a safe environment, she will gradually reveal more of herself. However, we don't think she will thrive in a normal household setting, so we are seeking a farm, stable, or garden where she can keep the area free from mice while receiving the care she needs.

Maak kennis met Vlinder, een poes van 3 jaar oud. Vlinder is erg angstig en heeft tijd nodig om te wennen aan een nieuwe omgeving. Ze zal niet snel toenadering zoeken, maar kijkt rustig de kat uit de boom. Voor Vlinder zoeken wij een rustig huis waar ze op haar eigen tempo vertrouwen kan opbouwen. Met geduld, begrip en een veilige omgeving zal ze steeds meer van zichzelf laten zien. Echter denken we niet dat ze kan aarden in een normale huissituatie dus zijn we voor haar op zoek naar een boerderij, manege, tuinderij, etc. waar ze het terrein vrij kan houden van muizen, maar wel de verzorging krijgt die ze nodig heeft.

About Vlinder

What life with Vlinder looks like

Vlinder is a young adult old english sheepdog 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 Vlinder, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Vlinder?
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 Vlinder on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Vlinder 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 Vlinder 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 Vlinder 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 Vlinder 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.
