About Fred

Meet Fred! This charming little guy is a Chihuahua-Terrier mix who thinks he's the king of the castle. After being adopted and then returned due to his owner's passing, he’s adjusting well in his foster home but has a bit of a diva personality. Fred loves to cuddle up for a cozy Netflix day and enjoys the company of other dogs, though he can try to take charge! At around 2 years old and weighing 9.4 pounds, Fred is best suited for a home without small children, as he prefers a quieter environment without too much yelling or running around. He’s definitely not fond of cats, as he has a strong instinct to chase them. Neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped, Fred is house trained and ready for a new loving home. He’s looking for someone who appreciates his unique character. Are you ready to make him a part of your family? Click apply to start the adoption process.
