About Frederick

Frederick is an 8-year-old Morkie, a mix of Yorkshire Terrier and Maltese, and he embodies the essence of a distinguished gentleman. With scruffy sophistication and a penchant for belly rubs, he carries himself with quiet dignity. Frederick is a gentle soul who appreciates the good things in life—like breakfast with a special cooked food topper and leisurely walks, where he follows his foster sister, sniffing every interesting scent. His charm lies in his simple pleasures, and he’s happiest just being near his people, whether you're working, reading, or catching up on shows. After coming to the shelter due to his previous owner’s inability to care for him, Frederick may take his time opening up to new people. However, once you earn his trust, he becomes a loyal shadow, ready to accompany you through daily life. He loves other dogs and has formed a close bond with his foster sister, engaging in joyful play and cozy naps together. Frederick is also comfortable around cats and proves to be a respectful houseguest. With steady progress in house training and a calm demeanor, Frederick would be a wonderful fit for a retired individual or a family with another playful dog. He’s the kind of companion that quietly works his way into your heart. Whether it’s through gentle companionship or soft affection, Frederick reminds us that the best friendships can often be found in the quiet moments. Ready to embrace a loyal companion? Apply today!
