Meet our sweet boy Fred! Fred came to us from the San Jacinto Animal Shelter a few weeks ago after learning that he was placed on the euthanization list. My husband and I could not let such a horrible event happen to such an amazing, young boy so full of life. We dedicated ourselves to finding him a home on our own.
Fred is a full grown 1 year, 3 month old at 38 lbs and still has his puppy energy! Fred loves to play in the yard with our dogs and has particularly found a deep friendship with our dog Moby. As soon as they finish their breakfast in the morning, the two run outside for a game of chase and tug-of-war.
We adopted Fred the day before Halloween and took him out trick-or-treating with all of the kids and families in the neighborhood. He absolutely loved every minute of it! Fred does really well in public, in crowds, interacting with other dogs and enjoys being around kids.
I don't know this for sure but I strongly believe Fred was abandoned by his previous owner as he seems to always want me by his side. Fred is one of the most affectionate and cuddly dogs I've ever met. It's important for us to find the right owner who will be patient with Fred, who will love him for the rest of his life and who will provide a fun and loving home for him indefinitely.
