Description
His story:
Panda is a very special young pup, born around June 2025. He was rescued from the public shelter/kill station, where he never had the carefree start a puppy should have. Now safe in a private shelter, he is waiting for his real chance – a loving home where he can slowly discover that life can be kind.
📅 Date of Birth: estimated June 2025 (puppy)
📏 Height: expected to grow into a medium size, approx. 40–50 cm when adult (current height can be measured on request)
🏷 Type: based on appearance, Panda may be a mix with wirehaired/Griffon-type influences and some local genetics, giving him his unique rough coat and charming look.
Looks & charm:
Panda’s scruffy coat and black-and-white colouring give him his unique and endearing appearance. He may not be the biggest, but he is certainly full of character – the kind of little dog that catches your eye and makes you smile.
Character:
Panda is a sweet boy, but still a little reserved. He needs time, patience and gentle guidance to feel safe and show his true self. Once he feels secure, he will reveal more and more of his loyal, affectionate nature – and that is when he will truly steal your heart.
Ideal home:
Panda needs adopters with love, patience and understanding – people who know how to gently guide a shy dog. He is not suitable for a home where he would be left alone for long full-time working days.
The company of a stable, balanced dog would be a great support for him, but this is not a requirement if his adopters themselves have enough time to guide him and be there for him.
A dog-proof garden with a secure, high fence and gates is essential. This will allow Panda to safely explore, do his needs, and gradually get used to wearing a harness, walking on a lead, and training in a safe environment. Later, when he feels ready, he will enjoy going out on walks – but at first, he needs the chance to adjust step by step.
Panda will thrive in a calm home without very young children, as he needs a peaceful environment to feel safe. With time, love and gentle care, he will slowly blossom – like a flower opening in its own time – and show the beauty of his true character.
✨ Panda is a small survivor with a big heart, just waiting for the right people to give him the chance to shine.

Friends InDeed is a registered charity organization. A home check (sometimes even online) is required before every adoption. We do not place our dogs with people who do not genuinely love dogs — too many lives depend on us, and we simply cannot be too careful!
To adopt one of our dogs, you must have your own private garden and no children under the age of 10. We do not provide working dogs, therapy dogs, or assistance dogs — no matter how noble or well-intentioned the purpose may be.
If you adopt PANDA, he will live with you as a beloved family companion, cared for and cherished as he truly deserves. You also agree to stay in touch with us so we can support you with any questions or challenges that may arise.
We prefer to communicate via phone or WhatsApp, as we both work during the day and have limited access to email. It’s also much easier — we can exchange all the necessary information at once. If you like, we can schedule a video call so you can see PANDA live before meeting him in person.
We are a 100% genuine and transparent rescue, fully dedicated to saving lives. We are actively involved in the spaying and neutering of stray dogs and in finding them loving forever homes. We reserve the right to ask for a different adoption fee or donation for our shelter dogs, depending on individual circumstances. In most cases, our costs are not fully covered.
We stay in touch with all our adopters — now more than 500 families — and can provide excellent references upon request.
⚠️ Please note: we receive many irrelevant messages and calls. We kindly ask — no time-wasters, please!
Thank you sincerely for your understanding and compassion.
Warm regards,
Adrian & Maria
