Adopt Frieda

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

This is our little Frieda. Together with her (we think) mum Tia and her little brother Joshua she came to live with us a while ago. She was living next to a busy road and after our failed attempt to catch the little family she and Tia were put on a chain. After some negotiation we were allowed to take them to the sanctuary. At the sanctuary she was starting to blossom and become more confident but then had to fight against parvo. Luckily she was very strong and managed to get better. Frieda is all healthy now, she's spayed and every day she's getting braver. She walks well on the lead but can be scared of cars passing by. With new people she sometimes needs a bit of time before she comes for a cuddle, but once she knows you she can not handle herself and wants all the love and is on your lap all the time. She really loves her food and loves to play with other dogs. Frieda is very tiny, about 5 kilos and about a year old (as of july 2023). If you're interested in adopting Frieda, please send us a message .

About Frieda

What life with Frieda looks like

Frieda is a very small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Helen in Vratsa region.

An young 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 Bulgaria

Bulgarian shelters typically include full vet workup, sterilization, and passport. Many coordinate with EU rescue partners for direct transport to adopter cities in Germany, Netherlands, and Austria.

Frequently asked

Adopting Frieda, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Frieda?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Helen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Frieda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Frieda if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Helen 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 Frieda 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 Frieda 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 Helen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Frieda 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.
