y to find his forever home! Originally, this fun-loving boy came into the shelter as a stray, but whatever his past was, it hasn't dulled his beautiful spirit. Our vet estimates this cuddle-bug is around 4 or 5 years old, giving him plenty of youthful energy and seasoned manners. Personality & Play When you first meet Freddie, he’s a bit stoic, taking it all in. But once he knows you, get ready for his "spicy" and hilarious side! Freddie loves to play and get attention, and he has a wonderfully funny "woof" he uses to express his joy—and to let you know he’s not being involved enough! He is a true people-dog who wants to be in the middle of everything you do. His dramatic (and adorable!) pleas for attention will keep you laughing! Training & Quirks Freddie is a motivated learner because he is completely obsessed with treats—he's not picky, he loves them all! This helps a lot since he's already crate trained and housebroken and knows the "sit" command. He also walks quite politely on a leash. He will thrive with a bit more focused obedience work, and The Furever Project's required group class will be a blast for him (especially if treats are involved!). !! Important Note on Toys:Freddie is a power-chewer who loves Kong toys a little too much and can chew them into pieces. For his safety, Kongs must be avoided as ingesting pieces could be dangerous. He will also get cranky if you try to take a favorite toy away, so it's best to trade up for a high-value treat instead of engaging in a tug-of-war !! Companions & Health Freddie is a social butterfly who gets along well with other dogs and happily enjoys play sessions with his doggy foster sister! However, he must be adopted into a home without cats. While he isn't aggressive toward them, he does try to play with and chase them, and his size and strength mean he could unintentionally cause an injury. Freddie is a healthy guy overall! He does take a daily medication, Apoquel, to keep his allergies in check. His adopter should be prepared for the possibility that he may need this medication long-term. Also, a previous injury left his left eyelid with a unique look, but our vet confirmed his vision is perfectly fine, and no surgery is needed. It’s just part of what makes Freddie unique! Freddie has a ton of love to give and deserves a family that will shower him with attention and treats. Could you be the one to give this wonderful boy the happily-ever-after he's waiting for?
