About Freya

Meet Freya, a charming six-and-a-half-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix in Temple, PA. This lovely girl boasts a soft tan coat and weighs around 95 pounds. With a spirit that balances outdoor adventure, loyalty, and affection, Freya is the perfect companion for an active family. Her goofy personality will keep everyone smiling! Freya enjoys hikes, walks, and outdoor playtime, making a fenced yard ideal for her. Daily exercise is essential to her happiness, so regular adventures are a must. After a day of fun, she’s ready to curl up close for some love and companionship. This smart girl has formal obedience training under her belt; she knows commands like sit, heel, stay, and come. She’s housebroken, crate trained, and comfortable on and off the leash. Freya does well when left alone for short periods and loves car rides. However, she’s a bit quirky around vacuums and can feel nervous during storms. Friendly with people of all ages, Freya is especially gentle and protective with children. She gets along well with other dogs and is comfortable around cats too! Healthy, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, her only occasional concern is some diarrhea. Freya enjoys a routine that includes regular meals and plenty of playtime, and she thrives on companionship. She shares a deep bond with her best friend Luna. While Freya can be adopted separately, it would be wonderful for her to be adopted with Luna. Could Freya or even Freya and Luna be the perfect match for your family?
