FREDDIE - PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $250. Say hello to Freddie! This handsome pit bull mix came to The Furever Project from a local shelter, which had advertised him as an 8-year-old senior — but our vet confirmed that he's more like 4 or 5 years old! We don't really know anything about Freddie's past since he was found as a stray, but it couldn't have been an easy one. That hasn't stopped him from being a sweet, chill boy who gets along with everyone, though! Freddie is a rather stoic dog when you first meet him, but once he knows you, he starts showing his "spicy" side. He has a really funny "woof" that he emits when he's in a playful mood — or when he wants attention, which is quite often! Freddie wants to be in the middle of everything that his people are doing, and he voices his displeasure when he feels left out. (It's actually pretty hilarious — and adorable!) Give him a treat, though, and all will be forgiven! Oh, and Freddie's not picky at all when it comes to treats: biscuits, Kongs with peanut butter — you name it, he loves it! That will help immensely with obedience training, too. (The Furever Project requires a group obedience class.) Freddie is both crate trained and housebroken. He also walks politely on a leash. Freddie is good with other dogs, and he enjoys play sessions with his doggy foster sister. He's also fine with cats — although, he does like to get "up close and personal" with his kitty foster siblings, so he shouldn't go to an adoptive home with any shy or fearful cats. Freddie is a healthy boy, overall, although he has allergies and is currently taking a daily dose of Apoquel. Whether the allergies are seasonal or not is yet to be determined, so it's possible that he'll need to be on the medication long-term. Also, Freddie's left eyelid was damaged prior to his arrival at the shelter, so the eye looks a little deformed. Our vet determined that his vision is perfectly fine, though, and he won't need surgery. Freddie has a lot of love to offer a family or an individual who is ready to give him the happily ever after he so richly deserves! Could that be you? If so, please submit an adoption application for him today! NOTE: Dog Breed Information — We do not utilize DNA testing for breed and mix determinations. The breed and mix identifications provided on the web pages for our dogs are based on information provided by shelter staff and dogs' previous owners, our visual assessment of their physical characteristics, and their demeanor and behavioral traits.
