Meet King Frederick, the majestic Collie mix that's ready to steal the crown of your heart! 👑 Estimated to be born on October 14, 2022, Frederick is a sprightly 60 pounds of plush fur and boundless joy. This handsome fella was rescued after being found as a stray and has bravely battled heartworm — but don't worry, he’s all cleared and ready to play! 🌟 Imagine an active toddler, full of mischief and curiosity, and you'll get a glimpse of Frederick's personality. He needs boundaries, loves to explore, and let’s just say, if you leave him alone, he may become the Sherlock Holmes of your home, investigating (and probably munching on) anything in sight! 🕵️‍♂️ His gorgeous smile is enough to brighten any day, and he’s perpetually eager to please. Frederick’s joys include splashing in water, playing with other dogs, and indulging in delicious food. 🍖 His goofy stretches after a nap will have you chuckling as he lounges, legs waving in the air like he’s auditioning for the next big pet modeling gig! 🐾 As much as he loves engaging with his people, he’s also quite the independent explorer outside. He thrives in homes with sturdy, dog-savvy kids who understand his playful, herding nature. Because he can jump – HOP, really – having him in a yard with a six-foot fence is ideal! 🏡 King Frederick has done well with other dogs and would love a buddy who can handle his rowdy antics. However, let’s keep the kitties in mind - they might find him a bit too much. 😺 Remember, this charming gentleman is house and crate trained! He’s all set to be the best companion for those who understand the love and exercise he requires. If you feel a connection to our regal pup, don’t hesitate! You can apply to adopt King Frederick through the Buddy App! 🐕❤️ Take the leap into love and laughter with this delightful boy! You’ll be glad you did!
