Ferdi

Mixed Breed · Female

Age: Born around 2020 Breed: mixed breed (we suspect it includes a bit of Husky) compatibility with others: gets along well with fellow animals; with cats: not known if compatible, cannot be tested currently Current location: animal shelter Istanbul (Turkey) Ferdi lives in extremely harsh conditions. The dogs have neither runs nor walks. They very much long for an appropriate life. Ferdi gets along well with fellow animals, living in the overcrowded yard with male dogs and female dogs. Ferdi was found on the street, and we unfortunately cannot provide any information about his past. We would like to place Ferdi in a childless household with responsible people who already have experience with dogs and are also willing to attend good dog training classes.

DE·Show original

Alter: ca. 2020 geboren Rasse: Mischling, ca. 55 cm (wir vermuten Husky mit drin) Verträglichkeit: gut mit Artgenossen verträglich; mit Katzen: nicht bekannt ob verträglich, kann nicht getestet werden Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Istanbul (Türkei) Ferdi lebt in extrem harten Bedingungen. Die Hunde kennen weder Auslauf noch Spaziergänge. Sie sehnen sich sehr nach einem artgerechten Leben. Mit Artgenossen ist Ferdi gut verträglich, er lebt im Zwinger (der viel zu voll ist!) mit Rüden und Hündinnen zusammen. Ferdi wurde an der Straße gefunden, über seine Vergangenheit können wir leider keine Angaben machen. Wir möchten Ferdi in einen kinderlosen Haushalt vermitteln, zu verantwortungsbewussten Leuten, die schon Erfahrung mit Hunden haben und auch bereit sind, mit ihm eine gute Hundeschule zu besuchen.

About Ferdi

What life with Ferdi looks like

Ferdi is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ferdi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ferdi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ferdi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ferdi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 Ferdi 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 Ferdi 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ferdi 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.
