LOYAL, LOVABLE, & FULL OF SQUEAKY TOY JOY — FRED IS READY TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND & FOREVER SIDEKICK!
I’m a sweet, loveable, goofy, and playful guy who’s come a long way from my very rough start in life. I’ve been through some tough times, but I’m bouncing back and living my best life with my foster family, while learning to trust again. I’m completely potty trained, super smart, and loyal. I’ve learned a lot of commands like “sit” and “down.” I’m still working on “paw,” “stay,” and “heel.” I can be left alone without any issues, which is pretty awesome, right? I love being outside and going for walks. I'm really good on a leash, and I'm learning that those delivery trucks aren't out to get us. Even though it's still a struggle, I'm working on it every day.
I’m protective when it comes to my home and my favorite humans, so I’ll keep a watchful eye on anyone who seems suspicious. I’m especially protective of my foster momma – that's because she’s my person – but I’m ready to be your best friend too!
I have a favorite game I play with my foster dad—tug-of-war with my squeaky toys! I love all my toys, but the reindeer, dinosaur, and elephant are my top picks. I’ll bring one over and drop it in his lap to let him know it’s time to play. We’ll tug for a while, then I’ll swap it out for the next toy, and then another, until my toy box is almost empty. It’s our special nightly routine!
I tend to bond deeply with one person, which means it’s important that everyone in the home spends equal time with me so I learn to trust and feel safe with the whole family. Though with patience and consistency, I can learn to bond with anyone. I just need a family willing to work with me and help me feel secure. Car rides are the BEST and I enjoy tagging along wherever you go. I love to be brushed and petted and will happily lay at your feet when you're on the couch – just hanging out and relaxing together.
