How do I adopt an animal from Dierenasiel Utrecht?

Dierenasiel Utrecht typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport.

Dierenasiel Utrecht is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at Dierenasiel Utrecht?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Dierenasiel Utrecht directly. Typical fees in Netherlands cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Dierenasiel Utrecht via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
