Freddy

*This animal is currently at a foster home and not at the shelter*

Hi there, I’m Freddy. I’m two years old and small enough to tuck into a lap, big enough to share a sofa. My coat has the soft, earthy smell of a sun-warmed field, and I move with a quiet curiosity that makes every corner feel like a little adventure. I may not be the loudest at the party, but I’ve got a sincere kind of bravery: I’m ready to listen, to learn, and to love with a steady heart. If you’re hoping for a calm, steady companion who savors simple moments as much as big adventures, I might be your guy. Who I am: I’m gentle and thoughtful, a moderate energy kind of friend who appreciates both cozy cuddles and a gentle stroll. I like having things to figure out each day—little puzzles, new sniff routes, and the chance to grow through daily opportunities to learn about life. I’ve met a calm, small dog through a fence; I greeted him politely, then moved back to observe from a safe distance, body language staying cautious but relaxed. I’m happiest when I have my person close, and a home that lets me take things at my own pace. I’ll check in with you, tail wagging, when I’m ready for the next moment. The kind of home that would suit me best: I’m most comfortable in a place that’s ours to settle into, with no need for a special fence and with the option to live indoors and outdoors. I’m best as the only dog in the home at first, so I can build a strong bond with my person without feeling crowded. I’d do well with older kids, 12 and up, who can respect my space and help me feel safe on busy days. A quick chat with a veterinarian before I join a new family would help make sure I’m all set for the journey ahead, and ongoing gentle guidance would help me continue to grow. If you think we might be a good match, I’d love to meet you. I’m ready to start the next chapter with a patient and kind family.

I am currently in a lovely foster home while I wait for my new family. To find out more about me, please enquire via the link below.
