About Freya

Freya joined our friends at Ruby Whiskers at Abbey Farms for an adoption event where she thrived in the spotlight, soaking up attention and showing everyone her arsenal of tricks. She’s mastered sit, stay, come, down, spin, and paw—all thanks to being incredibly sharp and eager to learn. Freya is always ready for a new challenge, and her cleverness stands out every day. Car rides are an easy favorite for her, and she’s always up for a game of tug o' war. While Freya loves people, she needs a yard to call her own and isn’t interested in sharing her home with other pets. She’s looking for a foster or adoptive home where she can keep growing and putting her energy into training—and where she doesn’t have to compete for your attention. She’s been waiting her turn in the kennel and is ready for her next chapter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
