Freckles is just the happiest and most loving guy! He adores people and is always looking for some love. He is just under 50 lbs and he thinks that is perfect lap dog size . He is around 2 years old and is suspected to be a lab/terrier mix. Freckles was picked up as a stray and then spent many months in the shelter being overlooked. We are so glad to have him in a foster home and see how truly sweet and wonderful he is! Freckles doesn't have a mean bone. He has been wonderful with the many dogs in his foster home. He would be great with other dogs but would also be fine as a solo pup. He LOVES his people and wants to be close to them so we don't think he would mind being an only dog at all. Freckles walks pretty well on a leash but can get strong when he gets excited to see another dog or people that he might get to say hello to. He rides nicely in the car and was an absolute doll at a recent vet check up. Freckles in crate trained and is working on his house training. He gets a little excited to get attention and will jump up on people but his foster is working on it. He really just wants to give and get love so badly. We think he would be fine with kids but parents should consider their kiddos size and the training he still needs on not jumping. Sweet Freckles is going to make a family very happy!
