About Freya

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Do you adore compact pups with a delightfully grumpy face? Imagine a friend who will tippy-tap around and give you the occasional judgmental huff. Freya could be the perfect match! She's known for leaving a trail of stuffing behind after enthusiastically decimating her fluffy toys, so be prepared for her playful antics. Freya is ready to pack her bags for a forever home but wants to make sure she finds the RIGHT family. Although she’s estimated to be about four years old due to her stray history, her true age remains a bit of a mystery. Freya is spayed, fully vetted, and kept on heartworm prevention since joining the rescue. She gets along well with other dogs her size but is not suitable for homes with cats or birds, as she sees them as too tempting for her playful nature. Mostly housetrained, Freya will thrive with someone who can patiently continue her training—especially since she’s not a fan of chilly weather on her paws! She’s crate trained but also adores curling up on the couch or in a fluffy bed to recharge after her adventures. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
