Introducing Freya: Your Future Couch Gremlin, Snack Consultant, and Professional Snuggle Bandit! Freya isn't just any dog-she's a one-of-a-kind Australian Cattle Dog/Heeler mix who was discovered living her best feral princess life on a hiking trail. Now, at a perfect 45 lbs and around 2 years old, she's traded in her survivalist career for a new dream: becoming your full-time cuddle buddy. (Bonus: she's spayed, heartworm negative, and fully committed to being adorable.) Freya's Resume Includes: Potty Training Prodigy: No indoor "oopsies" since November. She's basically a tiny, furry adult. Crate Champ: Tell her "bed" and she'll trot off like she's clocking in for a paid nap. Command Queen: She's mastered "sit," "down," "place," and even "off" (sort of-she's still lobbying for an exemption when it comes to sneaky cuddle attacks). Important Personality Notes: Freya is basically a genius (but like... the funny kind that also steals socks). She loves humans so much she might just physically melt into your lap. Other dogs? She's selective. Freya doesn't want to be friends with everyone-she has standards, darling. - She needs slow, proper introductions to any new dog friends so she can decide if they're worthy of her inner circle. Cats? Hard pass. Suspicious goblins, every last one of them. Freya is looking for a human (or two) who will appreciate her combination of snuggly affection, mischievous smarts, and occasional diva moments. If you want a ride-or-die bestie who will absolutely judge strangers with you, Freya's your girl. Adopt Freya: Because life is better with a hilarious, loving, selectively-social snuggle monster by your side.
