Adopt Franky

Mixed Breed · Male

Breed: French Bulldog mixed breed Compatibility with others: Gets along well in a mixed pack; Cats: Not known, cannot be tested. Current location: Auffangstation Istanbul (Turkey) Surrender reason: Taken in from neglect. This little French Bulldog mix unfortunately falls through the cracks in the animal shelter. Quiet, unassuming, and sad, he waits day after day for someone to finally notice him. Despite this, there is so much love, closeness, and hope for his own home inside of him. All he wishes for is people who will give him attention, security, and a permanent place in their hearts. Whoever gives Franky a chance wins a loyal little soul for life.

Rasse: Französische Bulldoggen Mischling Verträglichkeit: Verträglich lebt in einem gemischten Rudel; Katzen: Nicht bekannt, kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Auffangstation Istanbul (Türkei) Abgabegrund: Übernahme aus einer Verwahrlosung. Dieser kleine französische Bulldoggen Mix gehört leider zu den Hunden, die im Tierheim völlig untergehen. Still, unscheinbar und traurig wartet er Tag für Tag darauf, endlich gesehen zu werden. Dabei steckt in ihm so viel Liebe, Nähe und Hoffnung auf ein eigenes Zuhause. Er wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher als Menschen, die ihm Aufmerksamkeit, Geborgenheit und einen festen Platz im Herzen schenken. Wer Franky eine Chance gibt, gewinnt eine treue kleine Seele fürs Leben.

About Franky

What life with Franky looks like

Franky 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 Franky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Franky?
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 Franky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Franky 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 Franky 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 Franky 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 Franky 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.
