Freddie is a cute 2-year old male Labrador Retriever/Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on October 4, 2024 by an individual who found him on Warner Street in Marietta Ohio. Freddie was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped.
Freddie has a beautifully-marked black/white coat, a long tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked face with dark brown eyes, a black button nose, and large floppy/semi-erect ears.
This sweet guy had a friendly, rather demure, personality and loved attention from HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver when she accompanied him for outdoor photos late in the afternoon on October 4, 2024.
Freddie is a medium-sized dog who weighed 44.7 lbs when he entered our shelter, and he walked well on a leash.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Freddie was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership.
Since Freddie was not reclaimed, he was neutered on January 13, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine.
Freddie went home with a foster family on February 1, 2025, but he was returned to HSOV on February 7, 2025 after Freddie tested positive for Lyme disease.
Freddie went home with another foster family on March 28, 2025 who planned to adopt him.
Freddie was returned by his foster family on October 7, 2025 and is back in our shelter following a confrontation with a neighborhood dog who was near the front of their home (and Freddie was possibly thinking that he was protecting his family).
His foster family noted that Freddie was a friendly boy, and he had been great with two dogs and two cats who had shared his home. Freddie is housetrained.
Like many dogs, Freddie does not like baths.
Freddie likes car rides, being outdoors, and playing fetch. He is still working on learning basic commands.
We look forward to taking updated photos of Freddie asap~
