FREDDIE THE MAYOR, EXTREMELY OUTGOING AND LOVES LIFE

Freddie is a male Chihuahua and weighs approximately 7lbs, he is about 6 months old. Freddie was picked up by animal control with his 2 sisters on Sept 10. We fostered him into Patrick's Pals on 10/8/14. Freddie is in good health, up to date on all vaccinations and heartworm negative. He will be arriving in Connecticut on 11/15/14.

ADOPTED ON 11-18-14 - We may as well call Freddie the mayor, because he is always introducing himself to new people everywhere he goes! He is extremely outgoing and loves life! He is wonderful with other dogs and loves to play. Freddie lives with a mother cat and two half grown kittens; he does not seem to notice they exist. He does excellent on leash and currently goes on walks 3 times a day. He does okay in a crate, and is working on perfecting his housetraining skills. Freddie has done excellent with children, but he is not recommended for small children, due to his tiny size. He has done very well in the car and enjoys sitting on someone's lap for the ride.

Freddie is very outgoing and ebullient! He has a lot of energy and although he is small, he needs someone who will be able to provide him with enough stimulation. He enjoys the company of other dogs, and enjoys playing with his sister Macy, who is quite the opposite of Freddie and much more reserved. It would be wonderful if they could go to home together, but it is not a deal breaker if it is not possible. He could certainly coexist with cats. Another great thing about Freddie is he won't break the bank on the food bill, he takes his time when eating and only eats a little bit at a time. Freddie's new home may include children over the age of 7 as he is a very small dog, with a huge spirit! If you are interested in adopting our Fantastic Freddie, please fill out application.

About Our Rescue

These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.

Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!

Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!

Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.

Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well

If you have the time and love to offer this extremely bright dog who can make you laugh for hours at his antics, PLEASE APPLY TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A RESCUE DOG VILLAGE DOG AND GIVE ONE A HOME. Our dogs deserve all that a committed family can offer. Make no mistake about it, this is one spectacular dog!

Please contact RescueDogVillage@yahoo.com and we will be happy to return your correspondence, but please submit the application now so we can have that information as a starting base for our dialogue.

THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING RESCUE AS A MEANS OF WELCOMING YOUR NEXT FOUR-LEGGED FRIEND INTO YOUR LIFE!
