About Fred

Meet Fred. Not too long ago, Fred found his life drastically changed. After years with a loving owner, he and his brother were surrendered to a shelter under unfortunate circumstances. Confused and scared, they were facing an uncertain future. Days later, they became Code Red, running out of time. But then, a foster stepped in and saved the day. Thanks to one kind heart, Fred now has a second chance at life. What a delightful little dog he is. Each morning, Fred is the first to greet his foster, his tail wagging with joy. He focuses on the present, embracing love, companionship, and the hope of belonging again. Fred gets along well with other dogs and walks nicely on a leash. He is potty pad trained and enjoys going outside, though he'll need a family to help him maintain a consistent routine in his new home. At about 5 years old and weighing just over 9 pounds, Fred has moved past the chaos of puppyhood into a sweet, affectionate stage. Loyal and ready to give love to a new family, he is eager to find his forever home. Could that be you? Located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and available for adoption both locally and beyond. This little guy could change your life for the better. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
