Freddie

Mixed Breed · Female

Freddie is a six-year-old male who has recently been left alone after the passing of his best friend Charlie. They were inseparable, enjoying cuddles, running through their large enclosure, and exercising together on a treadmill (despite having three treadmills). Freddie tends to back down in disputes. He has a slightly tilted head due to a cold with an ear infection, but it doesn't bother him and just makes him cuter. Freddie's teeth were corrected by a veterinarian a few years ago, and he has been eating well since then. He enjoys his human food providers, especially when they have nuts. He doesn't want to sit on their hands, but he climbs on them when they sit on the floor to check the situation. Charlie, his Degu friend, cannot be replaced. Since the owners have to give up Degu keeping, Freddie cannot stay with them and will have to be moved to a new home. He lives in 73614 Schorndorf, but his owners would drive approximately 100 km to find the perfect home for him. They can also discuss what equipment to bring from his cage. To ensure Freddie gets a great home, his owners would like a small deposit.

DE·Show original

Hallo, ich bin Freddie. Ich bin sechs Jahre alt, ein Männchen und leider seit kurzem allein, weil mein allerbester Freund Charlie verstorben ist. Er war mein ganzen Leben lang an meiner Seite und wir waren unzertrennlich. Wir haben gerne gekuschelt, sind gemeinsam durch unseren großen Auslauf geflitzt oder haben zusammen auf einem Laufteller Sport gemacht (und das, obwohl wir zu zweit drei Laufteller hatten). In der Regel habe ich bei einem Streit nachgegeben. Der Klügere gibt nach und so. Seit einer starken Erkältung mit Ohrenentzündung, habe ein eine minimal schiefe Kopfhaltung. Das stört mich aber nicht und macht mich nur noch süßer. Einmal, das ist schon ein paar Jahre her, da hat mir der Tierarzt die Zähne korrigiert. Seither war das nicht mehr nötig und ich mampfe fleißig vor mich hin. Meine menschlichen Futterlieferanten mag ich auch, vor allem wenn sie Nüsse dabei haben. Auf ihre Hand möchte ich nicht, aber wenn sie auf dem Boden sitzen, klettere ich schon mal drauf um die Lage zu checken. Meinen Degu-Freund Charlie können sie mir allerdings nicht ersetzen. Da sie die Deguhaltung nach mir aufgeben müssen, kann kein zweiter Degu bei uns einziehen und sie müssen mich schweren Herzens in ein anderes Zuhause ziehen lassen. Ich wohne in 73614 Schorndorf, aber meine Besitzer würden dir für das perfekte Zuhause auch ca. 100 km entgegenfahren. Gerne können wir dann auch besprechen, welches Equipment ich aus meinem Käfig mitbringen soll. Um sicher zu gehen, dass ich ein ganz tolles Zuhause bekomme, würden meine Besitzer ein kleines Schutzgeld einfordern. Ich freue mich auf dich!

About Freddie

What life with Freddie looks like

Freddie is a large adult mixed breed animal waiting at Deguhilfe Süd e.V. in Obermichelbach.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Freddie far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Freddie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Freddie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Deguhilfe Süd e.V. 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 — Deguhilfe Süd 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 Freddie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals 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 Deguhilfe Süd e.V. 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 (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.
