Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Freddy is a male mixed breed dog, approximately 2 years old, 30cm tall and weighing around 8kg. He was born on approximately 20.09.2023. Freddy lived on the streets of Romania before being rescued and neutered. Animal welfare workers decided not to return him to Romania due to the dangers it poses for small dogs. He was then taken in by the Buftea animal shelter. On 07.03.2026, Freddy embarked on his journey to his new foster family in Germany. In the shelter, Freddy is initially reserved but friendly and curious. He is becoming bolder and exploring his surroundings. Freddy gets along well with other dogs and is not afraid of people. His life on the streets has made many things new to him, including living in a house, wearing a collar and harness, and walking on a leash. However, he is learning quickly.

About Freddy

What life with Freddy looks like

Freddy is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Casa Animalis in Germany.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Casa Animalis 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 — Casa Animalis 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Casa Animalis 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 (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
