About Freddy

Freddy isn’t just a dog—you’ll see the difference right away. At just a year and seven months, he’s every bit a big puppy, and you can see his mix of Black Mouth Cur and Anatolian Shepherd in his size and drive. He’s grown up in boarding for most of his life and, despite that, hasn’t lost a bit of spirit. This is a playful, high-energy guy who lives for fetch and long hikes. Freddy’s full of love, but he needs someone who matches his busy pace and offers both routine and adventure. Freddy listens well, thanks to solid training and truly wants to please someone who leads with confidence. He’s neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and on all his preventatives. If you have small kids, consider carefully—he likes kids but can be too much in his energy and still mouths like a classic big pup. The ideal setup? A home with a tall privacy fence or an adopter committed to leashed walks and active play several times a day. He’s not a couch potato, so an athletic adopter is a plus. Freddy’s adoption fee is completely covered for the right home. He’s waiting here in Madison, AL for his first real sense of family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
