Freddy

Mixed Breed · Male

Freedy was born in May 2016 and came to us in 2023, after living through a situation of abuse. Despite his past, he never stopped taking small steps towards trust. He is a sociable dog with other animals and, although he is a bit shy at first, he reveals himself over time. Today, he is already able to show who he really is. He loves walking and it is in these moments that he feels most free, lightest, and most himself. Freedy is looking for a patient and aware family, which respects his pace and continues to show him that the world can be a safe place. Someone who looks beyond shyness... and recognizes the calm heart that exists there. Date of birth:

O Freedy nasceu em maio de 2016 e chegou até nós em 2023, depois de viver uma situação de maus-tratos. Apesar do passado, nunca deixou de dar pequenos passos em direção à confiança. É um patudo sociável com outros animais e, embora seja um pouco tímido no primeiro contacto, revela-se com o tempo. Hoje, já consegue mostrar quem realmente é. Adora passear e é nesses momentos que se sente mais livre, mais leve, mais ele. O Freedy procura uma família paciente e consciente, que respeite o seu ritmo e lhe continue a mostrar que o mundo pode ser um lugar seguro. Alguém que veja para além da timidez… e reconheça o coração tranquilo que ali existe. Data de nascimento: 05/2016

About Freddy

What life with Freddy looks like

Freddy is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Associacao Midas in Portugal.

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 Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting Freddy, answered.

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