My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

3.5 yr old (1/26/14) throw-away boy found curled up in a 40# ball beside a watery ditch at dusk. He had two deep wounds. We carried him to the car. When we got him home we gave him subcutaneous fluids and some chicken soup. He was able to walk short distances. His coat was like straw due to dehydration; his skin so dry, when you pet him, the flakes flew all over. He has recovered nicely. He now weighs 80#. He is very playful with other dogs, especially puppies and females. He can be a bit dominant with adult males. He walks well on a leash and stays by your side. He loves people but sometimes greets by jumping up; he can knock them down unintentionally. He is very powerful and has no idea how strong he is. He just wants to lie on his back for belly rubs. Fremont learns quickly and sits for treats. His favorite game is fetch. He is possessive of his food bowl when other dogs are close and will growl. Who could blame him? He needs to be fed separately from other dogs either in a crate or another room. He is heartworm negative. He has been housed outside and has not been house trained.
Although Fremont is currently in Amite, Louisiana, transport to New England can easily be arranged through Animal Rescue Front.
