READYFREDDY - BORDER COLLIE / PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 600. ReadyFreddy came to us from the Huntsville shelter, where he arrived with his brother. He was the quiet one—scared, skinny, and too nervous to leave the crate. It’s hard to believe that now, because the ReadyFreddy we see today is a total lovebug. He still has his shy moments. New people and loud noises can make him hesitate. But give him a minute, and you’ll find him curled up against you, head tucked into your neck, heart wide open. ReadyFreddy is deeply affectionate and thrives on closeness. He's happiest snuggled up with you or his dog friends, soaking in the comfort. He'll do best in a home that has a confident dog buddy he can learn from. He has silly bursts of energy—those “surprise pounce” play invites are a favorite—and then he’s back to napping right next to you. He’s still working on crate training and will need someone patient who can go slow and steady with that part. He wants to learn. He just needs to feel safe doing it. ReadyFreddy would love a soft spot to land, a gentle routine, and someone who sees past the nervous start to the cuddly, goofy boy underneath. He’s ready for his person. He just needs a little help getting there. ReadyFreddy is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
