Rasse: Bracken-Mischling Verträglichkeit: Gut verträglich mit Artgenossen; Katzen: Nicht bekannt, kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sofia (Bulgarien) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Freddy wurde ca. 11/2024 geboren und allein auf den Straßen Bulgariens gefunden. Niemand weiß, woher er kommt oder was er bereits erlebt hat. Geblieben ist ein junger Hund, der den Menschen vertraut und ihre Nähe sucht. Heute lebt Freddy in einer Auffangstation. Weil er immer wieder aus seinem Zwinger klettert, ist er angekettet. Er möchte draußen sein, dabei sein, die Welt entdecken und jede Minute mit Menschen verbringen. Freddy ist ein unglaublich freundlicher, sozialer und liebevoller Rüde. Er versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden, genießt jede Streicheleinheit und freut sich über jede Aufmerksamkeit. Freddy ist ein sportlicher Begleiter für gemeinsame Abenteuer und ruhige Stunden zu Hause. Freddy wartet nicht auf das perfekte Zuhause. Er wartet auf Menschen, die ihn endlich ankommen lassen ❤️

About Freddy

What life with Freddy looks like

Freddy is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.v. in Germany.

An 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. 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 Freddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Freddy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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.
