Freya

Mixed Breed · Female

Freya is an insecure female dog. We are looking for people who can provide her with a lot of security and ideally have experience with dogs. In some situations, Freya may move forward when she feels overwhelmed. For this reason, we do not want to place Freya in a household with (small) children. The shy dog still needs a lot of training, but is very food-motivated. She has a high level of understanding and learns quickly, so she just needs someone with a good sense who shows her that it is worthwhile to orientate herself towards humans. Freya has lived with other dogs before her stay at the shelter. It would therefore be possible to place her with a confident first dog that she can orientate herself towards. Her compatibility with cats or small animals is not known. If you are interested in one of our dogs, please contact us by email. In the email, describe how the dog will live with you and send us a phone number. A caretaker will then contact you. Animal descriptions are based on observations in the shelter or on information from third parties and do not represent guaranteed properties.

Freya ist eine unsichere Hündin. Wir suchen für sie daher nach Menschen, die ihr viel Sicherheit bieten und idealerweise schon Hundeerfahrung haben. In manchen Situationen kann es nämlich passieren, dass Freya nach vorne geht, wenn sie sich überfordert fühlt. Aus diesem Grund möchten wir Freya nicht in einen Haushalt mit (kleinen) Kindern vermitteln. Die schüchterne Hündin benötigt noch viel Erziehung, ist aber sehr gut mit Futter motivierbar. Sie zeigt eine hohe Auffassungsgabe und lernt schnell, benötigt also nur jemanden mit Fingerspitzengefühl, der ihr zeigt dass es sich lohnt, sich am Menschen zu orientieren. Freya hat vor ihrem Tierheimaufenthalt mit anderen Hunden zusammengelebt. Es wäre daher denkbar, sie zu einem souveränen Ersthund zu vermitteln, an dem sie sich orientieren kann. Ihre Verträglichkeit mit Katzen oder Kleintieren ist uns nicht bekannt. Wenn Sie Interesse an einem unserer Hunde haben, kontaktieren Sie uns bevorzugt per E-Mail. Schildern Sie uns in der Mail, wie der Hund bei Ihnen leben wird und senden Sie uns eine Telefonnummer zu. Es wird sich dann ein*e TierpflegerIn bei Ihnen melden.

About Freya

What life with Freya looks like

Freya is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Leipzig in Leipzig.

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. Tierheim Leipzig 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 — Tierheim Leipzig 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 Tierheim Leipzig 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.
