Freya

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Freya is a five-year-old female dog, about 54 cm tall and weighing roughly 32 kg, whose friendly, calm nature wins people over immediately. She is a sweet, somewhat anxious lady who has not had many opportunities to get to know the world in her life so far, and so she reacts quickly with uncertainty in new situations. Freya gets along very well with other dogs, and cats are also welcome in her new home. She already walks on a leash, but she still shows fearfulness when something unfamiliar approaches her. She needs people who give her time, stay patient, and gradually give her a sense of security step by step. A confident, relaxed first dog could help her, but it is not a requirement. Much more important are people who lovingly accompany her, give her support, and show her that the world is not so frightening after all. With the right support, Freya will certainly develop wonderfully. Freya will be placed through the animal welfare association Vierbeiner in Not e.V. after a positive pre-adoption check, and she is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Freya ist eine etwa 54 cm große und rund 32 kg schwere, fünfjährige Hündin, die mit ihrem freundlichen, ruhigen Wesen sofort berührt. Sie ist eine liebe, etwas ängstliche Hundedame, die in ihrem bisherigen Leben noch nicht viel kennenlernen durfte und deshalb in neuen Situationen schnell verunsichert reagiert.Mit anderen Hunden ist Freya sehr gut verträglich, und auch Katzen dürfen in ihrem neuen Zuhause gerne vorhanden sein. An der Leine läuft sie bereits, zeigt jedoch noch Schreckhaftigkeit, wenn etwas Unbekanntes auf sie zukommt. Hier braucht sie Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, geduldig bleiben und ihr Schritt für Schritt Sicherheit vermitteln.Ein souveräner, entspannter Ersthund könnte ihr helfen, ist aber keine Voraussetzung. Viel wichtiger sind Menschen, die sie liebevoll begleiten, ihr Halt geben und ihr zeigen, dass die Welt gar nicht so beängstigend ist. Mit der richtigen Unterstützung wird Freya sich ganz sicher toll entwickeln.Freya wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle geimpft, gechipt und kastriert über den Tierschutzverein Vierbeiner in Not e.V. vermittelt.

About Freya

What life with Freya looks like

Freya is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Freya, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Freya?: 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 Freya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Freya 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 Freya 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 Freya 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 Freya 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.
