Adopt Franzel

Mixed Breed · Male

was found with his siblings in a closed plastic bag in the trash. Residents found the three puppies and called the police. Now they live in a private foster home in Patras. Franzel was and is the smallest and most delicate of the three siblings. At first, Franzel seems shy, but after a short time with patience and calm, he even cuddles.

About Franzel

What life with Franzel looks like

Franzel is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at tierFAIRbunden n.e.V. in Germany.

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 Franzel, answered.

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