Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Come see Freddy at Burnett's Country Garden in beautiful Salem, CT on October 26th and 27th from 11:00am to 4:00pm.
Here is more information about me:
GENERAL BEHAVIOR AND IDEAL HOME: Hey everyone, my name is Freddy!! I am a basset mix and while I weigh 52 pounds, I am what is known as a "low-rider" :) I am a young boy, only about 3 years old, but I haven't had the best of luck up to this point in my life. I was seen roaming around town for a couple of months following my nose to wherever it would take me when 2 big dogs decided they didn't like me. When I came into the shelter, my chest was ripped open and one of my ears almost gone. The folks at the shelter took really, really good care of me--now you can hardly see the scars on my chest and I wear my pink badge on my ear with pride--I'm told it gives me a distinctive look! You would think with all that has happened to me that I wouldn't like other dogs or wouldn't trust people--nope, I still love everybody! When I was recently taken to the vet, I used my boyish charm to get everyone to fall in love with me and it worked--everyone who met me had to smile and give me a couple of good rubs. I am now in a foster home where my FM says I am just a happy boy, ignoring the cats, and loving my food and treats (FM says something about being careful when feeding so I didn't put on any more pounds . . . not too sure of that!). While I am having to live outside until I am properly introduced to all of the other dogs at my foster home, FM says I am keeping my kennel clean and have done well when I had to to into a crate for a little while. She also said I did bark a lot when I first got to her house but I have since settled in and have calmed down a lot and don't do that too much now. I would LOVE to find my own forever home--if you think that might be with you, please come out and see me on October 26-27 in Salem at Dog Days. If you have any questions about me, please send an e-mail to the Washington-Wilkes Dog Days Foster Coordinator (terrynjim@yahoo.com) and she will get back with you as soon as possible. Another great idea is to go ahead and fill out an adoption application (http://godogdays.org/find-my-new-best-friend.htm)--that way you'll be all set to adopt me or anyone of the other great Dog Day dogs!!
GENERAL VETERINARY CARE:
I have been:
~ spayed/neutered
~ microchipped
~ dewormed
~ heatworm-tested negative if dog is of age to be tested ( 6 months or older)
~ up to date on all age appropriate shots
~ treated with a flea preventative
ADOPTION FEES
Rescues participating in our events are not allowed to charge more than $385 an adoption fee and some adoption fees are much less - it depends on what the rescue chooses to charge - Dog Days does not take any portion of the adoption fees.

ADOPTION PROCESS - Before the Event
If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. PLEASE Fill in the application if you're interested in adoption, this will save you time at the event. We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.
-- A letter from your vet on their letterhead will also be very helpful if they won't be open for us to call as a reference.
-- If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property. Dog Days will be conducting interviews of prospective adopters.
-- If you have never owned a dog and therefore do not have a vet reference let us know right away and we'll try to do a home visit before the adoption weekend. First time adopters need a quick home visit to make sure they are ready to take a dog home for the first time.
ADOPTION PROCESS - During the Event Weekend
-- Plan on spending at least three to four hours going through the adoption process. We want you to be completely confident in your new pal so we will ask you to speak to a trainer, a veterinarian as well as interview with a member of our adoption team and the rescue.
-- As a policy, Dog Days will not hold dogs for potential adopters so it is important to come to the event by 11:00am Saturday morning if you have your heart set on a particular dog.
-- PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS ARE GIVEN TO THE BEST HOME, NOT FIRST IN LINE.
Each dog and puppy has been seen by a Connecticut veterinarian who will also be on site to answer any questions you may have. We'll have professional groomers on site to give your new pal a bath before you take them home (no charge) and our adoption bags will give you information and samples for use at home.
EVENT TIMES AND LOCATION:
October 26th and 27th from 11am to 4pm at Burnett's Country Gardens in Salem, CT.
