About Fred

Fred is a three-year-old pit mix with a compact frame and a lot of character. He’s been waiting the longest at the rescue, and it’s clear he’s overdue for a real home. Fred is house and crate trained, and he uses a dog door without any trouble. He loves people and soaks up attention, but he needs to be the only pet—he’s just not interested in sharing his people or space with other dogs or cats. On walks, Fred gets reactive if other dogs get too close; dog parks won’t suit him, but peaceful sidewalk strolls are his jam. He’ll flop over for belly rubs the minute you relax, and he’ll stick by your side once you let him in. Fred is hoping for someone who wants a loyal friend and can give him the one-on-one bond he’s missed out on for too long. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
