Fred

🐾 Meet Fred!

Breed: Husky/Retriever Mix

Age: 3 Years Old

Weight: ~50 lbs

Looking for a dog who’s equal parts cuddle bug and goofball? Fred is your guy! This handsome husky-retriever mix is ready to meet his forever family — and he’s bringing all the love and wiggles with him.

Fred is an affectionate boy who lives for human connection. He’ll happily sprawl across your lap, shower you with kisses, and snuggle in close for movie nights. His happy-go-lucky spirit is absolutely infectious — one look into those eyes, and your heart will melt.

Fred has done well meeting other dogs. He can be a little awkward at first, but it doesn’t take long before he’s offering play bows and zooming around with his new friends. He’s also content to simply coexist and hang out calmly with other pups. His previous foster shared that Fred coexists peacefully with cats, too!

This sweet guy is good with kids, knows “sit”, and is working on expanding his command list.

Fred’s favorite things include affection, treats, and playing fetch. He’s not a huge fan of nail trims or vet visits (who is?), but with patience and love, he does just fine.

At about 50 pounds, Fred is the perfect medium size — big enough for adventures, small enough for couch cuddles.

If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will brighten your days with joy, playfulness, and love, Fred is ready to wiggle his way into your heart and home. 💛
