Hi, I'm Fred, your future shadow and professional cuddle expert. I'm nine months old, a proud Dachshund mix, and if you're looking for a little guy who thinks you're the most important thing in the world... we're already off to a great start! My favorite place? Wherever you are. Seriously. I could be in the deepest sleep of my life, but the second you get up, I'm up too. Bathroom trip? I'm there. Snack run? Don't mind if I join. I just really love being with my people. I'm still learning the whole potty training thing, but I'm trying my best every day. I'll need a family who's patient and consistent to help me keep building those good habits. I promise I'm worth the effort. Now, let's talk about my “hunter instincts”... I've got a pretty strong prey drive, so cats are probably not my vibe. Small critters? I notice them. A lot. So a home without cats or other small prey-type animals would be best for me to stay out of trouble. When it's playtime, I'm all in. Toys? Obsessed. Tug, chew, chase, repeat. And when I'm done being a playful little maniac, I transform into a snuggle bug who just wants to curl up next to you on the couch and soak up all the love. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, slightly clingy (in the best way) best friend, I might just be your guy!
