About Freya

Meet Freya, a stunning six-and-a-half-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix in Temple, PA. She's a beautiful girl with a soft tan coat and an impressive 95-pound frame, embodying loyalty and love. Whether it's hiking, going for walks, or playing with her Kong toys, Freya is the ultimate outdoor companion. She's looking for an active family that appreciates adventure and can provide a fenced yard or commit to regular exercise. Freya isn't just about outdoor fun; she adores snuggling up close after an adventure. Having received formal obedience training, she knows a variety of commands including sit, stay, and come. She's housebroken, crate-trained, and great on leash with reliable recall. While she's typically calm, Freya does get nervous during storms and has an amusing fear of vacuums. This clever girl is friendly with everyone, including children, and is gentle within their company. She also gets along wonderfully with dogs and is comfortable around cats. Freya is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She thrives on routine, which includes ample activity, companionship, and outdoor time. Her ideal family would engage in open conversations about her needs. Freya shares a special bond with another dog named Luna. Adopting them together would ensure they continue their adventure side by side, though Freya can also be adopted individually. Could Freya, and maybe Luna too, be the adventure buddies your family has been waiting for? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
