My story

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

Meet Fred.

Fred spent several months roaming a local community. He often arrived on a family’s porch who would provided food and water. Then he’d be gone for days again. Fred had scars all over him, however, he is a gentle giant with no aggressive tendencies.

In deep winter 2023 Fred turned up one night all bloody and limping badly on his front left leg. His jaw was dreadfully swollen. The Somerset-Pulaski County Humane Society was contacted for assistance and Fred taken to a local veterinary hospital for treatment. Diagnosis indicated the leg wasn’t broken but there was a deep abscess. The vet stated that he had several bite-marks puncture wounds as though he’d been chewed up. Fred is estimated at 2 – 3 years old was seriously underweight; only 56 pounds and suffering with Lyme disease.

Fred settled into his foster home and has been the perfect patient. However, he will hunker down and tremble any time his foster mom picks up the broom to sweep. It’s heartbreaking to think of all the emotional scars he carries along with those from physical abuse...

Fred was neutered and micro chipped after getting healthy and reaching a healthy target weight. Fred is a very gentle and sweet-natured boy who loves to be petted and loves to eat! He Loves having his own dog bed to sleep in and playing with his dog toys. Fred is great with large and small dogs but has no known exposure to cats.

He does not appear interested when there are chickens roaming. Fred is great with kids and toddlers. He would make a great addition to a home that was willing to give him the love and attention he needs and deserves!

It is unknown just how much horror Fred has endured prior to being rescued, but we are committed to making sure the remainder of his life is safe and filled with love and care.
