My personality

My story

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

Age/Birthdate: 08/15/2020 • Weight: 74lbs • Breed Guess: Pittie Mix • Fully Vetted: Yes • Adoption fee: Her adoption fee has been generously sponsored!

Any Medical or Special Needs: She is a tripod but it does not affect her day to day life!

Temperament with:
Dogs: Not a fan
Cats: Not a fan
Children list specific ages: She has not been tested around children and would most likely do best in an older teen/all adult home.
Strangers: Can be weary at first but will warm up with patience and treats!

Training Needs:
Crate Trained: Not crated as she is not destructive and doesn't need to be!
Potty Trained: Yes

Freeda is a RESILIENT and loving 5-year-old, three-legged Pit Mix who lives life to the fullest. Weighing around 74 lbs, she is full of energy and affection. She can be a little selective with other dogs and may show some reactive behavior initially, so she’s best suited as the only dog in the home, though she may enjoy a carefully introduced furbaby sibling.

Freeda is fully potty trained and doesn’t require a crate, preferring to relax and roam freely indoors. She loves long walks, playing fetch, and spending time in the grass. Bath time and water are some of her favorite activities, and she has a particular love for strong chewy toys and squeaky toys.

She thrives on human companionship—adoring belly rubs, hugs, and snuggling in bed. She is good with children ages 7 and up. While she may bark at strangers, it’s just her way of expressing caution, and with patience and consistency, she warms up to new people.

Freeda is a loyal, protective, and loving girl who wants a committed home with plenty of love, attention, and room to play. She enjoys a mix of dry and a little wet food and is looking for someone who will appreciate her spirited personality and strong bond.

More about this rescue

MISSION
Our mission is to be a voice and a home for dogs and cats who do not have one. To provide love, care, and shelter for those who have never had it or have lost it. We believe all animals are deserving. We will rescue, protect, vet, and provide hope as we search for loving forever homes for all animals that come into our care.

PURPOSE
Ruby Whiskers Animal Rescue, based in Lemont, IL, is dedicated to rescuing, vetting, and rehoming animals from shelters and other abandoned situations. Operated by dedicated volunteers and supported by foster families and sponsors, our goal is to provide the necessary veterinary care, grooming, and love while finding them forever homes.​​​

GOALS
Successfully rescue and rehome dogs and cats from kill shelters and other abandoned situations.

Spay/neuter all animals that come into our care.

Grow a foster and volunteer network.

Support and educate the community of the importance of spay and neuter.

Keep pets with their families by providing assistance with pet food, training, vetting, or any other pet related issue, in order to keep them together and out of the shelter.

Educate adults and children to build awareness, responsible pet ownership, and the importance of spay and neuter for all animals.

Advocate for stronger laws regarding animal welfare, cruelty, and puppy mills/pet stores.

Help decrease the homeless/abandoned animal population to in turn reduce euthanasia rates at shelters and animal control organizations.

PHILOSOPHY
Successful RWAR adoptions depend on strong relationships with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, and trainers. Through these relationships we will be able to rescue hundreds of animals every year and provide them with loving temporary care and carefully-matched forever homes.

SUPPORT
Best Friend’s Animal Society NO-KILL 2025 Goal

Reaching no-kill by 2025 means that every shelter in our country is getting the community support it needs to save every dog and cat who can be saved. *When a shelter is saving at least 90% of dogs and cats entering that shelter, it is designated as no-kill.*
