Freya

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Freya is a gentle, sensitive female dog about five years old, standing roughly 50 cm at the shoulder. From the first moment, her gentle and attentive nature touches people's hearts. She is one of those dogs who does not make a loud entrance but quietly and carefully shows how much heart she has. In new situations Freya needs some time to build trust, especially toward men, but with calm and understanding she opens up and shows her loving, sensitive side. Freya generally gets along well with other dogs, yet she wishes for a home where she can live as the only dog. She enjoys the undivided attention of her people and visibly blossoms when she is allowed to be the center of attention. She may carry some traits of a livestock guardian dog, which shows in her watchful nature and her need for clear structure. A quiet environment, consistent routines, and people who give her a sense of security will do her especially good. We are looking for a rural home for Freya, ideally with a garden, far away from hustle and bustle. She is not a dog for the city or a loud environment. She needs people who see her heart, give her time, and let her arrive at her own pace. Whoever gives Freya this chance will gain an extraordinary companion: attentive, loyal, gentle, and full of warmth. Freya is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, and will be placed with a protection agreement following a positive pre-adoption check.

Freya ist eine etwa fünf Jahre alte Hündin mit rund 50 cm Schulterhöhe, die mit ihrem sanften, feinfühligen Wesen sofort berührt. Sie gehört zu den Hunden, die nicht laut auftreten, sondern leise und vorsichtig zeigen, wie viel Herz in ihnen steckt. In neuen Situationen braucht Freya etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen – besonders gegenüber Männern –, doch mit Ruhe und Verständnis öffnet sie sich und zeigt ihre liebevolle, sensible Art.Mit anderen Hunden ist Freya grundsätzlich verträglich, dennoch wünscht sie sich ein Zuhause, in dem sie als Einzelhund leben darf. Sie genießt die ungeteilte Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen und blüht sichtbar auf, wenn sie im Mittelpunkt stehen darf. Möglicherweise bringt sie Anteile eines Herdenschutzhundes mit, was sich in ihrem wachsamen Wesen und ihrem Bedürfnis nach klaren Strukturen zeigt. Ein ruhiges Umfeld, feste Abläufe und Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit vermitteln, tun ihr besonders gut.Für Freya suchen wir ein ländlich gelegenes Zuhause, gerne mit Garten, fernab von Hektik und Trubel. Sie ist keine Hündin für die Stadt oder ein lautes Umfeld – sie braucht Menschen, die ihr Herz sehen, ihr Zeit geben und sie in ihrem Tempo ankommen lassen. Wer Freya diese Chance schenkt, bekommt eine außergewöhnliche Begleiterin: aufmerksam, treu, sanft und voller Wärme.Freya ist geimpft, gechippt und kastriert und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle über Vierbeiner in Not e.V. mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Freya

What life with Freya looks like

Freya is an 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. 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 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
