Freddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Freddy is a charming young dog, born in February 2024, who instantly brightens any room with his cheerful, athletic and lively nature. He loves exercise and being close to his people, and he is cuddly, affectionate and often wonderfully funny. He gets along without any problems with other dogs and is friendly and sociable in a pack. At the same time, Freddy is one of those dogs who need a great deal of security and clear leadership. Out of insecurity, he quickly takes on responsibility and initially barks loudly at strangers. As soon as his person calmly takes charge of the situation and Freddy is allowed to sniff on request, he opens up and shows himself to be open and friendly. Men unsettle him only at first. Freddy tends to suffer from separation anxiety and shows this by whining or howling when he feels alone. Being left alone must therefore be built up gently and over a longer period of time. His barking and his tendency to destroy things also require consistent, loving guidance and an environment that brings patience and humor. On the leash, Freddy still shows clear fear problems, but he is already making progress and walks very nicely in calm situations. A confident, friendly, experienced dog could help him, but it is not a must. What matters most are people who give him a sense of security, take him seriously and are willing to spend a lot of time together with him. Freddy will be rehomed after a positive preliminary check, vaccinated, microchipped and neutered by the animal welfare association Vierbeiner in Not e. V.

Freddy ist ein bezaubernder, im Februar 2024 geborener Junghund, der mit seiner fröhlichen, sportlichen und aufgeweckten Art sofort gute Laune verbreitet. Er liebt Bewegung, Nähe zu seinen Menschen und zeigt sich verschmust, zutraulich und oft herrlich lustig. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich problemlos und zeigt sich im Rudel freundlich und sozial.Gleichzeitig gehört Freddy zu den Hunden, die viel Sicherheit und klare Führung brauchen. Aus Unsicherheit übernimmt er schnell Verantwortung und bellt fremde Personen zunächst laut an. Sobald sein Mensch die Situation ruhig übernimmt und Freddy nach Aufforderung schnüffeln darf, taut er auf und zeigt sich offen und freundlich. Besonders Männer verunsichern ihn nur im ersten Moment.Freddy neigt zu Verlustangst und zeigt dies durch Weinen oder Jaulen, wenn er sich allein fühlt. Alleinbleiben muss daher behutsam und über einen längeren Zeitraum aufgebaut werden. Auch sein Bellverhalten und seine Tendenz, Dinge zu zerstören, benötigen konsequente, liebevolle Anleitung und ein Umfeld, das Geduld und Humor mitbringt.An der Leine zeigt Freddy noch deutliche Angstprobleme, doch er macht bereits Fortschritte und läuft in ruhigen Situationen schon sehr schön mit. Ein souveräner, freundlicher Ersthund könnte ihm helfen, ist aber kein Muss. Wichtig sind Menschen, die ihm Geborgenheit schenken, ihn ernst nehmen und bereit sind, viel gemeinsame Zeit mit ihm zu verbringen.Freddy wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle, geimpft, gechipt und kastriert vom Tierschutzverein Vierbeiner in Not e. V. vermittelt.

About Freddy

What life with Freddy looks like

Freddy is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

A young 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 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. Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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 — Vierbeiner in Not 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. 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 Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
