About Freckles

Freckles is a handsome lad with an eager-to-please personality. He arrived as a stray, so his backstory remains a mystery, but he's proving to be a quick learner. Freckles has mastered leash walking—though it might depend on who’s holding the leash—and knows how to sit and give paw for treats. Now, he’s working on learning the command for 'down'. This strong and active dog needs a family experienced with powerful breeds, ideally one with an active lifestyle that enjoys long walks or hikes. At around three years old and weighing about 68 lbs, Freckles is in good health following a full vet check. His tests for Heartworm and Lyme were negative, and he’s up to date with his vaccinations, including Rabies and Distemper. While he tries to keep his run clean, he currently needs a little more house training. The volunteers adore Freckles and believe he deserves a real home where he can thrive. An adult household would suit him best. His joyful energy would be a great match for an active family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
