How do I contact the shelter about Wanda?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hokazo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Wanda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Wanda if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hokazo 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 Wanda 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 Wanda 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 Hokazo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Wanda 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 Wanda

Whippet · Female · Adult · 5 years

Wanda is a lovely girl from around early March 2021. Her owner could not take care of her for a long time because he was very sick himself. Because of this, Wanda could not leave her home for a long time. She was terrified when we picked her up and did not understand what was happening to her. It took days before we could approach her. Gradually, she started seeking more contact, and once the first touch happened, she suddenly realized that we meant well. In a short time, she let us in more and we even managed to take her outside for a run on the meadows. A week later, she dared to go for a walk outside the premises as long as you first cuddled with her. She lies down thoroughly and also likes to wriggle herself halfway up (it doesn't quite fit entirely). Wanda has an extremely soft character. She does not like loud voices and curls up to hide. Wanda is dog-social but also shows that too many noisy barking dogs are too much for her. If they are too rough with her, she clearly says 'do not' and seeks support from you. Calm dogs she immediately greets and then also cautiously challenges to a race. See who can run the hardest. We are looking for someone who knows how to handle her delicate soul. Let her experience again with lots of patience and love that everything will be okay. And in return, you will get endless cuddles. Think Wanda fits with you and you fit with her, then fill out the form below quickly and who knows, you might soon be able to cuddle her.

Wanda is een knap meisje van ongeveer begin maart 2021. Haar baas kon al een hele poos niet goed meer haar zorgen omdat hij zelf erg ziek was. Wanda heeft hierdoor haar woning een langere tijd niet kunnen verlaten. Ze was doodsbang toen we haar ophaalde en ze snapte niet wat haar overkwam. Het heeft dagen geduurd voordat we haar mochten benaderen. Langzaamaan zocht ze steeds meer contact en toen eenmaal de eerste aanraking er was leek ze zich ineens te beseffen dat wij het allemaal goed bedoelde. In een rap tempo liet ze steeds meer toe en kregen we haar zelfs al mee naar buiten om even te rennen op de weides. Een week later durfde ze ook lekker buiten het terrein te gaan wandelen als je eerst maar met haar knuffelt. Hier gaat ze uitgebreid voor liggen en wurmt zichzelf ook graag half opschoot (helemaal past net niet) Wanda heeft een enorm zacht karakter. Harde stemmen kan ze niet waarderen en kruipt ze voor weg. Wanda is hond sociaal maar ook hier laat ze zien dat drukke blaffende honden te veel voor haar zijn. Gaan ze te ruw met haar om dan zegt ze heel duidelijk doe maar niet en zoekt ze steun bij jou. Rustige honden wil ze meteen gedag zeggen en daarna ook voorzichtig uitdagen voor een renspelletje. Even kijken wie er het hardst kan rennen. Wij zoeken iemand die weet om te gaan met haar tere zieltje. Haar met veel geduld en liefde weer laat ervaren dat het allemaal wel goed komt. En in ruil krijg je oneindig veel Knuffels. Denk je dat Wanda bij je past en jij bij haar vul dan snel het onderstaande formulier in en wie weet mag je dan snel met haar komen knuffelen.

About Wanda

What life with Wanda looks like

Wanda is a adult whippet dog waiting at Hokazo in Uden.

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.

🇳🇱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.
