How do I contact the shelter about Zoe?

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

Can I adopt Zoe 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 Zoe 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 Zoe 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 Zoe 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.

Zoe

Podenco · Female · Adult · 8 years

Paws-Patas Update April 13, 2026: Zoë is a kind little Podenco girl. She needs some time to get to know you, but she loves going for walks together! She also loves cookies so she's happy to come get them. Zoë is currently alone in a kennel run because she doesn't react well to every dog. The first days with a dog in a kennel run go well, but after that she still growls at the other dogs. Therefore, she is alone in a kennel run, as there simply can't be someone constantly watching her and safety comes first. Zoë is looking for an owner without young children and preferably without other pets. Someone who is looking for a little girl and gives her time to be herself. New photos and video added. March 9, 2026: new photos added. November 27, 2025: 4 new photos added. Input September 10, 2025: Zoe was found on the street with her 7 puppies. All puppies are now placed. Zoe is a cheerful and small (12 kg) girl. She sometimes needs some time to get to know you, but with a walk or something tasty you quickly become friends with her. She loves being cuddled. Walks nicely on a leash. Zoe shares her kennel run with two males and it goes very well. Zoe tested positive for heartworm, but was treated for it and the latest negative test result shows she is completely healthy again. A sweet girl who only knew the street life, who will give her the warm bed she deserves?

Paws-Patas Update 13 april 2026: Zoë is een lief klein Podenco meisje. Ze heeft wat tijd nodig om je te leren kennen, maar is dol op wandelingen samen! Ze is ook dol op koekjes dus komt die dan ook graag halen. Zoë zit momenteel alleen in een kennel omdat ze niet even goed op elke hond reageert. De eerste dagen met een hond samen in een kennel gaan goed, maar daarna begint ze toch naar de andere honden te snauwen. Hierdoor zit ze dus alleen in een kennel, er kan simpelweg niet continu iemand zijn die ze in de gaten houdt en de veiligheid gaat voor alles. Zoë zoekt een eigen baasje zonder jonge kinderen en bij voorkeur ook zonder andere huisdieren. Iemand die op zoek is naar een klein meisje en haar tijd geeft om zichzelf te kunnen zijn. Nieuwe foto's en video toegevoegd. 9 maart 2026: nieuwe foto's toegevoegd. 27 november 2025: 4 nieuwe foto's toegevoegd. Input 10 september 2025: Zoe werd op straat gevonden met haar 7 puppies. Alle puppies zijn gelukkig inmiddels geplaatst. Zoe is een vrolijk en klein (12 kilo) meisje. Ze heeft soms wat tijd nodig om je te leren kennen, maar met een wandeling of iets lekkers maak je al snel vriendjes met haar. Ze houdt ervan om lekker gekroeld te worden. Loopt netjes mee aan de riem. Zoe deelt haar kennel met twee reuen en dit gaat erg goed. Zoe werd positief getest op hartworm, maar is hiervoor behandeld en de inmiddels negatieve testuitslag laat zien dat ze weer helemaal gezond is. Een lief meisje wat alleen maar het straat leven kende, wie geeft haar dat warme mandje die ze zo verdient?

About Zoe

What life with Zoe looks like

Zoe is a small adult podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

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.
