How do I contact the shelter about Edek?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Edek on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Edek if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. 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 Edek 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 Edek 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Edek 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 (DE). 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.

Edek

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

♂, born ca. 2023 friendly - playful Edek is a ca. 2023 born Shepherd mix male with a shoulder height of ca. 55-60 cm. Edek urgently needs help! He lived happily with his family in the house until the beginning of '26. Then he suddenly became a nuisance to his owners. They got another child and thought the dog had become too big, and they locked the poor fellow in a kennel. He is allowed to leave it almost never, there are no more walks and no attention. Edek suffers a lot. He is bored, lonely and we fear that he may start self-injurious behavior. Edek is a very people-oriented male, he loves to play with his kind and also gets along with cats. He likes children and everyone. Edek is vaccinated and chipped. He is located in Poland. The deposit for Edek is 580 euros. Do you want to give Edek a new home?

♂, geb. ca. 2023freundlich - verspieltin Polen Edek ist ein ca. 2023 geborener Schäferhund-Mix-Rüde mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 55-60 cm. Edek braucht dringend Hilfe! Er hat bis Anfang '26 mit seiner Familie im Haus gelebt und war glücklich. Dann wurde er seinen Besitzern plötzlich lästig. Sie bekamen ein weiteres Kind und meinten, der Hund sei zu groß geworden, und sie sperrten den armen Kerl in einen Zwinger. Diesen darf er so gut wie nie verlassen, es gibt keine Spaziergänge mehr und keine Zuwendung. Edek leidet sehr. Er langweilt sich, ist einsam und wir befürchten, dass er mit selbstverletzendem Verhalten beginnen könnte. Edek ist ein sehr menschenbezoger Rüde, er liebt es, mit Artgenossen zu spielen, und verträgt sich auch mit Katzen. Er mag Kinder und alles und jeden. Edek wird geimpft und gechippt vermittelt. Er befindet sich in Polen. Die Schutzgebühr für Edek beträgt 580 Euro. Sie möchten Edek ein neues Zuhause geben?

About Edek

What life with Edek looks like

Edek is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

An young 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
