About Fredo

Fredo is a small pup bursting with love, eagerly awaiting his forever home or a foster family. This 1.5-year-old male Chihuahua mix weighs around 13 lbs and gets along well with other dogs. He’s currently living at a shelter in Puerto Rico, seeking adoption in the DC area. Transitioning from Puerto Rico can be challenging for dogs like Fredo, so he needs a caring human committed to his socialization. He would thrive in a home with another dog or a family that can take him on regular walks, visit dog parks, or attend doggie daycare to help him learn the ropes. Fredo is on the lookout for a best friend to accompany him on adventures around the neighborhood, possibly even running for mayor! He dreams of making lots of friends—both canine and human. In true politician fashion, he’s keen to learn some manners and would love to enroll in obedience classes to show off his intelligence. Let’s find Fredo a loving home where he can strut his stuff and live his best life! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
