Adopt FRED

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 10 months

Name: FRED Gender: Male Born: January 2021 In the shelter since: 05.02.2026 Origin: Found dog Shoulder height: 35cm. Weight: 15kg Verifiable with children: yes With cats: yes With dogs: conditionally (vaccinated and microchipped): yes EU Pet Passport: yes Fred was found disoriented in the city. Many signs point to the fact that he was abandoned. Despite this difficult start in life, he has preserved his big heart and enthusiasm for life. The approximately 35 cm tall and 15 kg heavy male dog is a very people-oriented dog. FRED loves the proximity to his people, is cuddly, and enjoys every pat. He is strongly attached to his trusted people and responds well to being spoken to. FRED already knows life in the house and shows itself there uncomplicated and pleasant. Not least to highlight is his very good leash behavior – on the leash, he walks attentively and cooperatively. With children and cats, FRED gets along well and greets them friendly. In dog encounters, FRED currently shows a confident demeanor. He is rather the dominant type and occasionally growls at other dogs on the leash, especially if they come too close. However, it is important to note that he does not go into the leash and can be addressed well. Through regular social walks and training with dog encounters, FRED is already making progress and learning to handle such situations better. FRED thus brings a bit of character – sometimes he can also be a bit stubborn, just like a little dachshund. With patience, clear guidance, and further training, he will surely develop into a great companion. FRED is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has an EU Pet Passport. Now, this loving male dog wishes for a home where he can arrive and never be left behind again.

Name: FREDGeschlecht: Rüdegeboren: Januar 2021 In der Arche seit: 05.02.2026Herkunft: Fundhund Schulterhöhe: 35cm. Gewicht: 15kg Verträglich mitKindern: jaKatzen: jaHunden: bedingt Geimpft und gechipt: jaEU-Heimtierausweis: jaSchutzgebühr 530€ Fred wurde orientierungslos in der Stadt aufgefunden. Vieles deutet darauf hin, dass er ausgesetzt wurde. Trotz dieses schwierigen Starts ins Leben hat er sich sein großes Herz und seine Lebensfreude bewahrt. Der etwa 35 cm große und 15 kg schwere Rüde ist ein sehr menschenbezogener Hund. Fred liebt die Nähe zu seinen Menschen, ist verschmust und genießt jede Streicheleinheit. Er orientiert sich stark an seinen Bezugspersonen und reagiert gut auf Ansprache. Das Leben im Haus kennt Fred bereits und zeigt sich dort unkompliziert und angenehm. Besonders hervorzuheben ist seine sehr gute Leinenführigkeit – an der Leine läuft er aufmerksam und kooperativ mit. Mit Kindern und Katzen kommt Fred gut zurecht und begegnet ihnen freundlich. Bei Hundebegegnungen zeigt Fred derzeit noch ein selbstbewusstes Auftreten. Er ist eher der dominantere Typ und knurrt andere Hunde an der Leine gelegentlich an, besonders wenn sie ihm zu nahe kommen. Wichtig ist jedoch: Er geht dabei nicht in die Leine und lässt sich gut ansprechen. Durch regelmäßige Social Walks und Training mit Hundebegegnungen macht Fred bereits Fortschritte und lernt, solche Situationen immer besser zu meistern. Fred bringt also ein wenig Charakter mit – manchmal zeigt er sich auch etwas stur, ganz wie ein kleiner Dackel. Mit Geduld, klarer Führung und weiterem Training wird er sich sicher zu einem tollen Begleiter entwickeln. Fred ist kastriert, geimpft, gechipt und besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis. Nun wünscht sich dieser liebevolle Rüde ein Zuhause, in dem er ankommen darf und nie wieder im Stich gelassen wird. Die

About FRED

What life with FRED looks like

FRED is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. in Germany.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 FRED, answered.

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