My story

Freddy is a lovable, affectionate pup who forms strong bonds with his people, especially the ladies! With women, hes incredibly friendly and quickly settles in for couch snuggles, doing his best impression of a lap dog. At night, hes a certified bed hog (with only the occasional snore), and he loves being close to his humans.Freddy already knows sit and paw, and hes a smart boy who enjoys engaging toys, especially stuffed animals, treat balls, and frozen beef broth in a chew toy. Hes very food-motivated (he uses a slow feeder to pace himself!) and takes pride in rolling his treat ball around like a pro to earn his kibble.He walks nicely on leash with minimal pulling and travels well in the car, usually settling down and relaxing for the ride. Hes also comfortable with crate training and will often choose to relax there on his own (its also his favourite spot to stash the occasional borrowed shoe, not to worry he doesnt chew them, just keeps them close!).Freddy currently lives with a cat and gets along well; hes respectful and coexists nicely, but doesnt mind the occasional chase for good measure.Freddy would do best in a home with adults or older/teenage children who can continue to build his confidence and provide structure, patience, and lots of love. In the right home, hell be an incredibly loyal, cuddly, and fun companion.
