Dierentehuis Stevenshage currently has 28 animals listed on TailHarbor. That includes 8 dogs. Plus 7 cats. The inventory is refreshed daily from the shelter's own listing system.

How do I adopt an animal from Dierentehuis Stevenshage?

Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact Dierentehuis Stevenshage directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — Dierentehuis Stevenshage 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 Dierentehuis Stevenshage 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. Dierentehuis Stevenshage 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 Dierentehuis Stevenshage a verified shelter on TailHarbor?

Dierentehuis Stevenshage 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 Dierentehuis Stevenshage?

TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Dierentehuis Stevenshage directly. Typical fees in Netherlands cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Dierentehuis Stevenshage via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
