About Fun Fab Fred

Fred stands out right away. In a pen with two other dogs, he kept his cool and let the girls run the show, but don’t mistake that for shyness. Fred is a sweet, loving soul—well-mannered, quiet, never pushy. He’s not flashy or obnoxious, just steady and magnetic, with a shiny coat and striking amber eyes that make him hard to ignore. At around 7 months old and 35 pounds, Fred is medium-sized but packs a ton of character. He’s been neutered and fully vetted, ready for his new start. Fred is up for just about anything, from car rides to hikes to lounging by your side at night (he promises not to hog the bed). He’s easy to have around—big enough for adventure, small enough to fit anywhere. He gets along well with other dogs and is good with kids. Fred isn’t house trained yet, but his temperament is steady and winning. He just wants someone to count on him and return the affection. This guy deserves the good life and has so much love to give.
