About Freddie (in Foster)
Dogs – Bring your pup for a meet & greet
Cats – No cats for Freddie
Kids – Best with children 6 and up
If happiness had a tail and a silly smile, it would look a lot like Freddie. His foster says, "He's a truly happy guy who loves his toys, blanket, and the people in his world," and that's exactly the Freddie everyone falls for. He loves playing with toys and romping in the yard, but he's just as happy curling up on the couch for dedicated ear scratches.
Freddie is a quick learner and a total trickster in the best way. He knows over twelve commands, including crawl, heel, wave, and spin, and is always ready to practice more! He has excellent house manners, waits patiently for his food, and is fully crate trained. While he can get a little jumpy when he greets people, he is genuinely one of the sweetest dogs you could hope for.
Freddie loves wearing sweaters and gets so dramatic when it's time to take them off that he'll turn his back and try to sneak the sweater away. At bedtime, he has a charming routine of collecting his favorite items around the house and bringing them to bed, from toys to even a tube of wrapping paper.
Freddie can get nervous around new dog friends, so introductions should be calm and low-key. He's perfectly happy as your one-and-only companion and would thrive with someone who enjoys interactive play. He also loves sharing all the carrots, tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries, and maybe even sardines you have on hand.
Freddie isn't just a dog. He's a devoted companion and a cuddle champion who fills every space with joy. Come meet him and you'll see why his foster calls him "the smooshiest of the squishmallows!"

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
