Adopt Freya

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Breed: Springer Spaniel Crossbreed Age: 11 Months Approx Freya is a lovely Springer Spaniel crossbreed who came to us for rehoming through no fault of her own – her owners didn’t have the time to give her the exercise and attention she needs. She’s a lovely girl, very friendly and affectionate… but also with a lot of energy and zest for life! She approaches everything full on and seems to be a pretty confident dog! She settled into the kennels straight away, and made friends with everybody! She has been around children, and could go to a home with children again, however we would advise that any children in the home are used to bouncy dogs! She absolutely loves her walks! She’s very active and has lots of energy to burn! She’s still a baby after all! She particularly enjoys her time off lead in our exercise compounds, playing with the toys! She can be pully on the lead, as she’s not really been walked much in her previous home. She’s had very little in the way of training, so this is something that her new owners would need to consider, and be able to devote time to.

About Freya

What life with Freya looks like

Freya is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ashbourne & District Animal Welfare Society in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. Ashbourne & District Animal Welfare Society 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 — Ashbourne & District Animal Welfare Society 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Ashbourne & District Animal Welfare Society 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 (EN). 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.
