Meet Freya – A Big, Beautiful Girl with a Bigger Love for Her People 💕
Freya is a stunning young lady with a personality that shines brightest once she feels safe and secure. Her favorite way to ask for affection? If you walk past her while she’s lying down, she’ll quietly lift a leg — her gentle, unmistakable request for a belly rub. And trust us, once you start, she’s happy to keep them coming. Freya’s weekday routine is well established and shows just how adaptable she can be. She’s comfortable being home alone for 8–9 hours, free-roaming in the house (no crate for this girl). She enjoys a walk before work and a longer walk in the evening, and spends her days rotating between napping, chewing on bones, and playing with her toys. She’s fully house-trained and settles nicely into a predictable rhythm. With her people, Freya is incredibly affectionate and loyal. She’s a true Velcro dog — following her person from room to room, always nearby, always asking for pets, belly rubs, or a good brushing. Once she bonds with you, you’re her person, and she loves deeply. Freya enjoys both independent play with toys and interactive play with her people. She’s energetic, happy, and playful, with an average-to-high activity level that will benefit from regular walks, enrichment, and continued training. The most important thing to know about Freya is this: she is truly the sweetest girl, and everyone who’s been able to meet her and earn her trust has absolutely loved her. She simply needs time, patience, and thoughtful introductions to feel safe in the world.
Ideal Home
Freya would do best as the only dog in the home due to leash reactivity. A home without cats is recommended as she does have a prey drive. A child-free home is also recommended for this girl, as predictability will really benefit her.
Ongoing Health
Freya does have some separation anxiety, so while she can handle time alone, consistency and reassurance are important for her emotional well-being.
Training & Support
Freya is reactive to other dogs on leash. While she once enjoyed playing with a foster puppy and may be able to live with another dog in the future, this would require very slow, patient introductions and ongoing training.
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- Approved applicants will begin with a 3-week foster-to-adopt trial period to help ensure the transition is a great fit for both Freya and her new family. This gives everyone time to settle in, build a bond, and let Freya show off just how wonderful she truly is!
- If things are going well after the trial period, the adoption can then be finalized.
Transporation
Freya is located in St. Louis, MO. We can provide transport to approved adopters within a 3-hour radius of St. Louis.
