How do I contact the shelter about Freddie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Red Foundation handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Freddie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Freddie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Red Foundation 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Freddie 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 Freddie 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 The Red Foundation early rather than rehoming privately; they know Freddie 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 (EN). 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.

Freddie

Male · Adult · 6 years

Freddie Swansea Adoption fee is £250 6 years old Male mini silver dapple (6kg) Neutered Freddie is a very clever, loving and friendly little boy who is looking for a special home following surgery for IVDD in April this year. Although he has made some progress since his operation, Freddie is currently still unable to use his back legs. Sadly, as his owner is moving overseas, they have made the difficult decision to find Freddie a new home where he can continue to receive the care, love and support he needs. Despite everything Freddie has been through, his wonderful personality continues to shine. He is a happy, affectionate little dog with a lovely nature and plenty of character. Freddie loves being close to his people and is happiest when he is surrounded by those he loves. Whether he is playing with his favourite toys or snuggling up for a cuddle after a nap, Freddie is a little dog who simply loves being part of the family. His gentle and affectionate nature means he quickly forms strong bonds with those around him, and his new family will gain a devoted and loving companion. Freddie is continuing with his rehabilitation following surgery, so his new family will need to be committed to providing the ongoing care and support he requires. He is continent, although he does have the occasional accident, and he sometimes needs his bladder expressed. We are hopeful that his bladder function will continue to improve as his rehabilitation progresses. The Red Foundation is committed to supporting dogs with additional medical needs, and we will discuss the support we can offer with potential adopters. Freddie could potentially live with another friendly, well-matched dog. He could also live with sensible, dog-savvy children aged 8 years and over who are able to understand and respect his needs. Due to his mobility challenges, Freddie will need a home with easy access to a secure garden. Freddie is a very good boy who can happily sleep in his crate or on the bed when invited up. He can also be left alone for around 3–4 hours. Aside from his IVDD, Freddie is in excellent health and has so much love to give. He deserves a family who will continue to support him throughout his rehabilitation while embracing everything that makes him such a special little dog. With patience, commitment and plenty of love and affection, Freddie will make a truly wonderful companion. We have no doubt that, given the chance, he will become a much-loved and cherished member of his new family. Requirements in a home for Freddie Could live with a friendly dog, subject to a successful meet. Could live with children aged 8+. A garden To find out more about Freddie please contact Helen at

About Freddie

What life with Freddie looks like

Freddie is a adult dog waiting at The Red Foundation in Pentlow Street.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
