About Freddie

Freddie comes across a bit shy at first, but with some patience, he opens up and proves to be a loyal friend. He thrives on playtime—especially fetch—and gets a real kick out of exploring new spots, always curious about what’s around the next corner. When the energy dips, Freddie likes to settle in quietly by your side, soaking up your presence. As a young pup, he juggles bursts of play with calm, watchful moments. Despite his initial reserve, he listens carefully and makes a gentle, steady companion. Freddie’s looking for people who appreciate both sides of his personality, and who don’t mind a dog that needs a little time to feel completely at home. He gets along with other dogs, so he could be a good fit for families with another pup. Fun fact: Freddie was born March 29, which makes him an Aries—expect a bold spirit once he’s settled in.
