Yuppy

Shih Tzu · Male · Adult · 5 years

Yuppy is a Shih Tzu male, born on January 10, 2021. He is an incredibly sweet dog who shows us how wonderful he can be when given the right guidance. Yuppy has had little exposure to the outside world in his early years. Due to circumstances in his previous family, he ended up in a different living situation. The changes and new impressions were not easy for him. He proved to be a sensitive dog who can quickly build up tension when he is not sure what is expected of him. At our shelter, we have seen a very loving Yuppy. He walks on a leash and is happy to be guided. We look not only at what happened in the past, but especially at what he shows now and what helps him feel comfortable. Yuppy benefits from someone who is calm and clear, keeps situations manageable for him, and does not let him figure everything out on his own. He does not need to deal with everything independently. Just when someone gives him the right direction and helps him deal with new situations, he gets the space to build more trust. We are looking for a quiet home for Yuppy with someone who understands that not every dog handles changes and new impressions easily. Someone who guides him in a nice way, lets his world grow step by step, and also lets him be a dog. In return, he is an incredibly sweet dog who would love the chance to grow together with his new owner. Important characteristics of Yuppy are: Energy level: Average Intelligence: Average Self-confidence: Low Self-awareness: Average Perseverance: Average It is important that you score higher than or equal to the dog you want to adopt in the characteristics, to ensure that a suitable match can result. Breed: Shih Tzu Gender: Male - neutered Date of birth: 10-01-2021 Commands: Sit, down, come here, stay, bench, bed, no Housebreaking: Yes Check: Vaccinated, chipped, dewormed Can go in the car: Yes

Yuppy is een Shih Tzu-reutje, geboren op 10 januari 2021. Hij is een ontzettend lief hondje dat bij ons laat zien hoe fijn hij kan zijn wanneer hij de juiste begeleiding krijgt. Yuppy heeft in zijn eerste levensjaren weinig van de buitenwereld gezien. Door omstandigheden bij zijn vorige gezin kwam hij uiteindelijk in een andere woonsituatie terecht. De veranderingen en nieuwe indrukken waren voor hem niet gemakkelijk. Hij bleek een gevoelig hondje dat snel spanning kan opbouwen wanneer hij niet goed weet wat er van hem verwacht wordt. Bij ons zien we inmiddels vooral een hele lieve Yuppy. Hij loopt aan de lijn en laat zich fijn begeleiden. We kijken niet alleen naar wat er in het verleden is gebeurd, maar vooral naar wat hij nu laat zien en wat hem helpt om zich prettig te voelen. Yuppy heeft baat bij iemand die rustig en duidelijk is, situaties voor hem overzichtelijk houdt en hem niet alles zelf laat uitzoeken. Hij hoeft niet overal zelfstandig mee om te gaan. Juist wanneer iemand hem de juiste richting geeft en hem helpt om met nieuwe situaties om te gaan, krijgt hij de ruimte om steeds meer vertrouwen op te bouwen. Voor Yuppy zoeken we een rustig thuis bij iemand die begrijpt dat niet iedere hond even gemakkelijk met veranderingen en nieuwe indrukken omgaat. Iemand die hem op een fijne manier begeleidt, zijn wereld stap voor stap laat groeien en hem ook gewoon lekker hond laat zijn. Daar staat een ontzettend lief hondje tegenover dat graag de kans krijgt om samen met zijn nieuwe eigenaar verder te groeien. Belangrijke kenmerken van Yuppy zijn: Energielevel: GemiddeldIntelligentie: GemiddeldZelfvertrouwen: LaagZelfbewustzijn: GemiddeldVasthoudendheid: Gemiddeld Het is bij een adoptie belangrijk dat je zelf in de kenmerken hoger dan of gelijk aan de hond die je wilt adopteren scoort, om ervoor te zorgen dat er een passende match uit kan voortvloeien. Ras: Shih Tzu Geslacht: Reu - gecastreerd Geboortedatum: 10-01-2021 Bevelen: Zit, af, kom hier, blijf, bench, mand, nee Zindelijk: Ja Keuring: Gevaccineerd, gechipt, ontwormd Kan mee in de auto: Ja Kan je Yuppy niet adopteren, maar wil je hem wel steunen?

About Yuppy

What life with Yuppy looks like

Yuppy is an adult shih tzu dog waiting at Stichting Animals Faith 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.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Many animals are sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement, but confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Yuppy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Yuppy?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Stichting Animals Faith handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Yuppy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Yuppy if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Stichting Animals Faith whether they will for Yuppy, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Yuppy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Stichting Animals Faith lists Yuppy as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Stichting Animals Faith, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Yuppy isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Stichting Animals Faith about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Yuppy 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.
