About Freddie
Freddie is a 3-year and 9-month-old male Australian Cattle Dog mix with a heartwarming story of resilience and recovery. When Freddie came into the shelter, he was in terrible condition: malnourished, severely underweight, and suffering from a horrible skin condition due to neglect. His body bore numerous scars, but his spirit remained unbroken.
Thanks to a wonderful foster family who provided him with the care and love he needed, Freddie has made a remarkable recovery. His skin and overall body condition have improved massively with the help of medication and a nurturing environment.
Freddie is the sweetest boy you could ever meet. Despite his tough start in life, he absolutely adores people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. His easygoing nature and amazing temperament make him an exceptional companion.
Freddie is now looking for a forever home where he can receive the love and care he deserves. He just wants to be someone's loyal companion, sharing all the love he has to give. If you're ready to provide Freddie with the loving home he's been waiting for, he'll be an incredibly rewarding addition to your family.
Medical notes
Skin scarring and hair loss in some areas of body. Particularly belly. Is showing improvement.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
