How do I contact the shelter about Freyja?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Iserlohn handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Freyja on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Freyja if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Iserlohn 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 Freyja 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 Freyja 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 Iserlohn early rather than rehoming privately; they know Freyja 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.

Freyja

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Freyja wants to discover the world! She is a beautiful, intelligent Border Collie mix with a lively spirit and a lot of zest for life. ❤️ 🌍🐾 Freyja wants to learn, experience, travel and grow with her human. She is exceptionally intelligent, very trainable and full of motivation when given a task. ✨ Whether it's training together, exciting walks, nose work or small everyday adventures, Freyja wants to be challenged and show what she's capable of. 🌿🐶 She has a big heart and once she trusts someone, she will follow them with absolute loyalty and want to please. ❤️ She does everything to make her humans happy and gives them closeness, love and an incomparable bond. 🥰 For the right person, she can become that unique human-dog team you always dream of. 🤝🐾 Her path hasn't always been easy: Freyja had to fight for her life as a young street dog in Romania with her puppies. She lost all but one of them before she came into our care. But she has kept her joie de vivre, her strength and her openness to new things. ✨ Today, she's not just looking for any home - she's looking for her human. A human who sees her special soul and wants to rock the adventure of life with her. 🐕‍🦺🌍❤️ It means a lot to us when people want to give a dog a chance at a new home. 🏡🐶 Our greatest wish is to find the right people for each dog - and vice versa. ❤️ Freyja's human should be aware of what it means to have a herding dog by their side. 🐑🐾 She doesn't need a hard hand, but a loving, calm and consistent leadership - with clear rules, reliable boundaries and firm structures. Freyja wants to know what she's getting into and needs people who take responsibility and give her security. Who understands her clever, attentive nature and guides her fairly will find in her a wonderful, loyal partner. ❤️ A large, securely fenced garden or property would be a dream for Freyja: 🌳🏡 Small children should not live in the household. Whoever lets Freyja into their heart and life will get a clever, faithful and very special dog by their side. 💫🐾 Are you Freyja's human? ❤️ Freyja is NOT at the Iserlohn animal shelter. She is currently in foster care in 17291 Prenzlau. She can be visited at her foster home in 44388 Dortmund from December. 📩 A single contact can change everything: -now- 📞

Freyja möchte die Welt entdecken! Sie ist eine wunderschöne, kluge Border-Collie-Mischlingshündin mit einem wachen Geist und ganz viel Lust aufs Leben. ❤️ 🌍🐾 Freyja möchte lernen, erleben, unterwegs sein und gemeinsam mit ihrem Menschen wachsen. Sie ist außergewöhnlich intelligent, sehr lernfähig und voller Motivation, wenn man ihr eine Aufgabe anbietet. ✨ Ob gemeinsames Training, spannende Spaziergänge, Nasenarbeit oder kleine Alltagsabenteuer: Freyja möchte gefördert werden und zeigen, was alles in ihr steckt. 🌿🐶 Dabei trägt sie ein riesengroßes Herz in sich. Hat Freyja Vertrauen gefasst, folgt sie ihrem Menschen mit absoluter Treue und möchte einfach gefallen. ❤️ Sie macht alles, um ihre Menschen glücklich zu machen, und schenkt ihnen Nähe, Liebe und eine unvergleichliche Verbundenheit. 🥰 Für den passenden Menschen kann sie zu genau diesem einzigartigen Mensch-Hund-Gespann werden, von dem man immer träumt. 🤝🐾 Ihr Weg war nicht immer leicht: Freyja hat sich als junge Straßenhündin in Rumänien mit ihren Welpen durchschlagen müssen. Bis sie in unsere Obhut genommen wurde, hat sie bereits alle bis auf einen Welpen verloren. Doch sie hat sich ihre Lebensfreude, ihre Stärke und ihre Offenheit für Neues bewahrt. ✨ Heute sucht sie nicht einfach irgendein Zuhause – sie sucht ihren Menschen. Einen Menschen, der ihre besondere Seele sieht und Lust hat, mit ihr gemeinsam das Abenteuer Leben zu rocken. 🐕‍🦺🌍❤️ Es bedeutet uns unglaublich viel, wenn Menschen einem Hund die Chance auf ein neues Zuhause schenken möchten. 🏡🐶 Unser größter Wunsch ist es dabei, für jeden Hund genau die Menschen zu finden, die zu ihm passen – und umgekehrt. ❤️ Freyjas Mensch sollte sich bewusst sein, was es bedeutet, einen Hütehund an seiner Seite zu haben. 🐑🐾 Sie braucht keine harte Hand, sondern eine liebevolle, ruhige und konsequente Führung – mit klaren Regeln, verlässlichen Grenzen und festen Strukturen. Freyja möchte wissen, woran sie ist, und braucht Menschen, die Verantwortung übernehmen und ihr Sicherheit geben. Wer ihre kluge, aufmerksame Art versteht und sie fair anleitet, wird in ihr eine wunderbare, loyale Partnerin finden. ❤️ Ein großer, sicher eingezäunter Garten oder ein Grundstück wäre für Freyja ein Traum: 🌳🏡 Kleine Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Wer Freyja in sein Herz und sein Leben lässt, bekommt eine kluge, treue und ganz besondere Hündin an die Seite. 💫🐾 Bist du Freyjas Mensch? ❤️ Freyja ist NICHT im Tierheim Iserlohn. Sie lebt z.Zt. auf einer Pflegestelle in 17291 Prenzlau. Ab Dezember kann sie auf ihrer Pflegestelle in 44388 Dortmund besucht werden. 📩 Ein einziger Kontakt kann alles verändern: -Jetzt- 📞

About Freyja

What life with Freyja looks like

Freyja is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Iserlohn in Iserlohn.

An young 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
