About Fred

Fred is a 7-year-old male Chihuahua weighing around 15 lbs. This gentle soul is finding his way after coming from a hoarding situation where he lived with multiple dogs. Initially shy, Fred has made remarkable progress in foster care and recently graduated from the Paws Behind Bars prison dog training program. He enjoys socializing and has learned to walk on a leash, sit on command, and even sit up for treats. His greatest joy is cuddling with his human, showing affection that he’s learning to embrace. Now, Fred is ready for his forever home where his easy-going nature will shine. He would thrive in a quiet adult-only environment, ideally with a gentleman owner who can give him the love he deserves. Once he bonds with you, Fred will offer unconditional love and companionship.
