Meet Fred, a delightful 10-year-old, 30-pound tricolor beagle boy who's ready to bring joy into any heart! 🐶✨ This affectionate fellow is not just charming; he's well on his way to being the best companion. With his vaccinations up to date, recently neutered, and proudly microchipped, Fred is all set for the love he so richly deserves! He also tested negative for heartworm—let’s give a cheer for that! 🎉 Fred's journey began as a stray, captured by the kindness of a stranger who recognized his lovable spirit. While we might not know how he became lost, it’s evident that he has a history of being a beloved household pet. Currently being fostered in Kentucky, he’s eagerly awaiting his chance to make his way to the beautiful Pacific Northwest! 🌲 One thing is for sure: Fred is a social butterfly who adores being around his humans! He is particularly affectionate with the husband of his foster family—talk about a lovebug! 💖 Just be warned; Fred doesn’t understand the concept of personal space. If you’re not down for some quality face-to-face snuggles, this might not be the pup for you! Fred also has a playful side! He shows interest in joining in the fun with his foster beagle buddy, although he can be a bit particular when it comes to larger dogs, especially when they’re vying for the same attention. So, let’s be real, Fred would thrive best as an only dog or perhaps with a beagle-sized playmate in a home equipped with experience in managing attention-loving beagles. This darling beagle is, like most of his kind, motivated by food—who can blame him? 🍖 He’s learned to respect the command “no” and has mastered the art of treating-sharing etiquette, ensuring he won’t nibble any fingers while snagging snacks. Expect some tail-wagging excitement at treat time! 🐾 When it’s walk time, Fred’s enthusiasm is contagious; he practically dances with joy at the sight of the leash! He even had a memorable encounter with a cow on a walk, barely fazed by its size. Perhaps he thought it was too big to chase—such a wise little guy! While Fred is not fond of being kenneled when alone, he has done remarkably well roaming freely with his foster siblings. The joy of seeing his humans return ignites a spark in him—can you imagine coming home to such a warm welcome? And let’s talk about cozy! Fred has discovered the pure luxury of curling up by the fire, snoring away on chilly days. If you have a lovely fireplace or wood stove, he just might be the perfect match for you! 🔥 Currently, there’s no information on how Fred interacts with children under 12 or cats, but he’s got a heart full of love just waiting for the right person to embrace him. So don’t miss out on the chance to make Fred your devoted companion! Apply through the Buddy App today to welcome this handsome beagle into your home! 💕
