Fred - 6 Year Old Beagle X Staffy

Meet Fred!
Fred. Freddy. Frederick, if he's feeling particularly distinguished.

This handsome Beagle x Staffy mix is around six years old and packed full of personality. Fred arrived in care alongside his partner incrime, Wilma. While they came into rescue together, we've since discovered they're not actually bonded and are both thriving with a little independence.

If there's one thing you should know about Fred, it's this: he is completely obsessed with tennis balls. Humans are great, but tennis balls are non-negotiable. Give Fred a ball and he's convinced life couldn't possibly get any better. The bonus? He's more than happy to entertain himself while you admire his impressive ball-handling skills from afar.

Fred is a fun, active boy who loves people and brings plenty of enthusiasm wherever he goes. That enthusiasm can occasionally get the better of him, and he's still learning that keeping all four paws on the floor is the polite way to greet people. Because of this, we'd recommend a home with children aged 12 years and over who can handle his excitement.

Despite his energetic nature, Fred walks beautifully on lead and is a pleasure to take out and about.

As Fred has likely always had canine company in Wilma, we're still learning how he'll cope when left home alone. For now, we think he'd be happiest in a home where someone is around more often than not while he settles into a new routine.
