How do I contact the shelter about Franjo?

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 Franjo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Franjo 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 Franjo 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 Franjo 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 Franjo 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.

Franjo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

♂, born ca. 10-11/2024kinderlieb - friendly - social in Bulgaria Franjo is a ca. 10-11/2024 born mixed-breed male dog with a current shoulder height of ca. 48 cm. Franjo and his brother Freddie are two of the found and secured puppies in the intake station of our Bulgarian animal welfare colleague in SofiaIBulgarien. Like so often, they are left to die, eaten, or intentionally run over at the city cemetery, the general disposal place for unwanted animals. The handsome and bashful Franjo shows a very people-oriented behavior towards those he knows, also enjoys being with children, is friendly, sometimes still a bit shy, plays, runs, and runs with his fellow animals, whether female or male dogs, through the run, then takes a nap. Franjo of course needs the basic dog training with patience, calmness, and positive reinforcement taught, preferably in a dog training class where he can experience fun and make contacts with his peers. That Franjo would feel safe and secure in the city center is rather not the case. A garden would naturally be a dream for him, preferably with a social only dog to orient himself. For people who are aware of the responsibility that Franjo will not be given to live in outdoor or kennel confinement but must be fully part of family life, where he will always be a full-fledged family member. At first, he will be a bit unsure about everything new, but with the right support and age-appropriate stimulation, Franjo will develop into a great lifelong friend. Franjo is ready to start his new home. Franjo is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and rehomed with a Snap-4-D-Test. He is in an intake station in Sofia/Bulgarien. The adoption fee for Franjo is 460. Do you want to give Franjo a home? Then please contact us via our following contact form. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. Created with Wix.

♂, geb. ca. 10-11/2024kinderlieb - freundlich - sozialin Bulgarien Franjo ist ein ca.10-11/2024 geborener Mischlingsrüde mit einer derzeitigen Schulterhöhe von ca. 48 cm. Franjo und sein Bruder Freddie sind zwei der gefundenen und in der Auffangstation gesicherten Welpen unserer bulgarischen Tierschutzkollegin in SofiaIBulgarien. Wie so oft zum Sterben, Gefressen werden oder mit Absicht überfahren werden, auf dem städtischen Friedhof ausgesetzt. Der allgemeine Ablageort für nicht gewollte Tiere. Der hübsche und tappsige Franjo zeigt sich sehr menschenbezogen bei ihm bekannten Personen, auch Kinder mag er sehr gerne, ist freundlich ab und an noch etwas schüchtern , spielt, tobt und rennt mit seinen Artgenossen, egal ob Hündin oder Rüde durch den Auslauf um dann wieder ein Nickerchen einzulegen. Franjo benötigt natürlich noch das Hundeeinmaleins mit Geduld, Ruhe und positiver Verstärkung beigebracht, am liebsten in einer Hundeschule, wo er mit Gleichaltrigen den Spaß erleben und Kontakte knüpfen kann. Dass Franjo sich wirklich in der Innenstadt wohl und sicher fühlen würde, ist eher nicht der Fall Ein Garten wäre natürlich ein Traum für ihn, gerne mit einem sozialen Ersthund, an dem er sich orientieren kann. Zu Menschen, die sich der Verantwortung bewusst sind, dass Franjo nicht in Außen- oder Zwingerhaltung abgegeben, leben und sich selbst überlassen wird, sondern am Familienleben zu 100 % teilhaben muss. Wo er als vollwertiges Familienmitglied immer dabei ist. Anfangs wird er etwas unsicher allem Neuen gegenüber sein, aber bei der richtigen Förderung und altersentsprechender Auslastung wird Franjo sich zu einem tollen Freund für's Leben entwickeln. Franjo ist startklar für sein neues Zuhause. Franjo wird geimpft, kastriert, gechipt und mit einem Snap-4-D-Test vermittelt. Er befindet sich in einer Auffangstation in Sofia/Bulgarien. Die Schutzgebühr für Franjo beträgt 480. Sie möchten Franjo ein Zuhause geben? Dann melden Sie sich bitte über unser nachfolgendes Kontaktformular. ©2022 von Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V..

About Franjo

What life with Franjo looks like

Franjo 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.
