Frequently asked questions

Dierencentrum de Ark is in Apeldoorn, Netherlands.
How many animals does Dierencentrum de Ark have available for adoption?
Dierencentrum de Ark currently has 17 animals listed on TailHarbor. That includes 7 dogs. Plus 10 cats. The inventory is refreshed daily from the shelter's own listing system.
How do I adopt an animal from Dierencentrum de Ark?
Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact Dierencentrum de Ark directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — Dierencentrum de Ark handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor. 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.
Can I adopt from Dierencentrum de Ark if I live in another country?
Yes. Cross-border adoption within the EU is straightforward thanks to the EU pet passport system. The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. Dierencentrum de Ark typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport — common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.
Is Dierencentrum de Ark a verified shelter on TailHarbor?
Dierencentrum de Ark 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 Dierencentrum de Ark?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Dierencentrum de Ark directly. Typical fees in Netherlands cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Dierencentrum de Ark via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
