Fredo

Mixed Breed · Male

PS SE, born: 05/11, male dog. In mid-April, a dear friend from the animal welfare circle asked for our help. The owner of several small-breed dogs passed away, and the family couldn't or wouldn't take care of the little ones. We responded to the request and took in all three mixed-breed puppies (1 male dog and 2 female dogs). Unfortunately, the female dogs were in no good condition. None of them had a name, and their age was unknown. It was clear, however, that they were senior dogs. It seemed that the previous owner was a breeder who had misused the female dogs as "breeding machines." They were practically feral, knew nothing, and were not housebroken. In August, Flora's little friend, Fredo, stayed behind on his island foster placement and withdrew more and more. Even Flora, after arriving in Germany, kept her distance from her new female companion. Only with her owner did she cautiously make contact, likely because the dogs on the island had lived with an owner alone. It seemed as though the two little mice couldn't handle the separation from each other. So, we asked Flora's new family if they could consider offering Fredo a foster placement. A few days later, it was confirmed that Fredo could travel to his Flora. The reunion of the two little ones was touching. Flora could hardly believe her luck when Fredo was back at her side. The two explore their new environment together, and Flora doesn't leave Fredo's side. They even share their cozy little bed. Since Fredo's arrival, Flora has become more outgoing and has also made contact with her female companion. It is wonderful to see how the two dogs are blossoming and enjoying being together again. In the interest of Flora and Fredo, we have decided not to separate the two. Thus, Fredo has found a foster placement with Flora's family on a permanent basis. We are deeply grateful. Little Fredo would be very happy to have a godmother or godfather.

PS SE, geb: 05/11, Rüde. Mit­te April bat uns eine befreun­de­te Tier­schutz­kol­le­gin um Hil­fe. Der Besit­zer meh­re­rer klei­ner Ras­se­hun­de ver­starb und die Ange­hö­ri­gen konn­ten oder woll­ten sich nicht um die Klei­nen küm­mern. Wir kamen der Bit­te nach und nah­men alle drei Misch­lin­ge (1 Rüde und 2 Hün­din­nen) auf. Die Hün­din­nen waren lei­der in kei­nem guten Zustand. Alle drei hat­ten noch nicht ein­mal einen Namen. Auch über das Alter war anschei­nend nichts bekannt. Sicht­lich war jedoch, dass es sich schon um Hun­de­se­nio­ren han­del­te. Bei dem vor­he­ri­gen Besit­zer han­del­te es sich anschei­nend um einen Ver­meh­rer, der die Hün­din­nen als „Gebär­ma­schi­ne“ miss­braucht hat. Sie waren regel­recht ver­wil­dert, kann­ten nichts und waren nicht stu­ben­rein. Ende August durf­te Fre­dos klei­ne Freun­din Flo­ra zu ihrer neu­en Fami­lie nach Deutsch­land aus­flie­gen. Fre­do blieb zurück auf sei­ner Insel­pfle­ge­stel­le und zog sich mehr und mehr zurück. Auch Flo­ra, in Deutsch­land ange­kom­men, blieb bei ihrem neu­en Frau­chen auf Distanz. Nur zu ihrem Herr­chen nahm sie vor­sich­tig Kon­takt auf, ver­mut­lich des­halb, weil die Hun­de auf der Insel bei einem allein­ste­hen­den Herrn gelebt haben. Es hat­te den Anschein, als wür­den die bei­den klei­nen Mäu­se die Tren­nung von­ein­an­der nicht ver­kraf­ten. So frag­ten wir kur­zer­hand Flo­ras neue Fami­lie, ob sie sich vor­stel­len könn­ten, dem klei­nen Fre­do einen Pfle­ge­platz zu bie­ten. Eini­ge Tage spä­ter stand fest, Fre­do durf­te zu sei­ner Flo­ra rei­sen. Rüh­rend war das Zusam­men­tref­fen der bei­den Klei­nen. Flo­ra konn­te ihr Glück kaum fas­sen, als Fre­do wie­der an ihrer Sei­te war. Die bei­den erkun­den gemein­sam das neue Umfeld und Flo­ra weicht Fre­do nicht von der Sei­te. Auch das gemüt­li­che Körb­chen tei­len sich die bei­den. Seit Fre­dos Ankunft wird Flo­ra von Tag zu Tag zutrau­li­cher und nimmt auch Kon­takt zu ihrem Frau­chen auf. Es ist wun­der­bar mit­an­zu­se­hen, wie sehr die bei­den Hun­de auf­blü­hen und es genie­ßen wie­der zusam­men zu sein. Im Sin­ne von Flo­ra und Fre­do haben wir ent­schie­den, die bei­den nicht mehr zu tren­nen. Somit hat Fre­do einen Pfle­ge­platz auf Lebens­zeit bei Flo­ras Fami­lie gefun­den. Dafür bedan­ken wir uns herz­lich. Klein Fre­do wür­de sich sehr über eine Paten­tan­te oder einen Paten­on­kel freu­en.

About Fredo

What life with Fredo looks like

Fredo is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Fuerteventura in Dransfeld.

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 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 Fredo, answered.

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