FREDDY
Senior Alert-SOS-Freddy’s Owner will surrender to shelter soon-
Owner has Althemizer- needs to rehome
**9 years old **male-mixed breed* 50 pounds**neutered**
Freddy’s life hasn’t been simple, but his heart has stayed pure. Rescued from a shelter at 5 years old,
he finally found love and stability — until now. His owner is sadly facing advanced Alzheimer’s and
must move into a nursing home, leaving Freddy at risk of returning to the shelter through no fault of his own.
Freddy is everything you hope for in a family dog.
- Great with kids and other dogs — gentle, friendly, and always ready to play
- A total sweetheart whose tail never stops wagging
- Loves everyone he meets and greets the world with joy
- Playful and treat‑motivated, making him easy to bond with
- Dog‑social and loves canine friends
- Unknown with cats, so a slow, thoughtful introduction would be needed
Freddy is simply a loving soul who wants to belong again. He’s ready to bring warmth, laughter, and
companionship to a new family — one that will cherish him as much as he’ll cherish them.
He’s waiting for his perfect match, hoping someone sees the loyal heart behind those hopeful eyes.
If you’re looking for a devoted, gentle, joyful companion, Freddy might just be the missing piece of your family.
