Name: King Frederick
Nickname: Alakay (real name of Alex the lion from Madagascar)
Breed: Collie mix
Estimated DOB: 10/14/2022
Weight: 60 lbs.
Before OMD: Transferred to OMD Rescue after he was picked up as a stray, heartworm positive (though showed no symptoms). He has since been treated for heartworm and healthy.
Energy Level: Medium-high
Velcro level: Inside? Right with his people. Outside? Independent and off exploring.
Descriptors: Social. Sweet. Intelligent. Playful. Handsome and slightly majestic.
Alter Ego: A toddler - Active, thrives on boundaries, gets bored easily, mischievous, opportunistic... If you leave the room, he will investigate (and, most likely, chew) and get into all the things while you're gone...sometimes even when you're not gone.
What we love most: His gorgeous smile. How he's always happy and eager to please - he really just seems to enjoy life, no matter what's going on.
What makes us smile: How he has to stretch any time he gets up from a down position (whether it's one second or one hour). How he gets super low and wiggly when you call him to come. How you can often find him sleeping on his back with his legs up in the air.
What he loves most: His people. Pleasing his people. Playing with other dogs. Water-play. Food.
What he doesn't love: When he thinks he's done something wrong. He's eager to please and can be sensitive to corrections.
What he knows: Sit. Sit and Come (sometimes). Leash manners. Riding well in the car.
Kids: He has not spent time with kids while in rescue, but we believe he would do best with older, sturdy, dog savvy kids due to his herding-dog nature and he does jump from time to time
Dogs: Oh yes! He has loved being around other dogs of all shapes and sizes. He's best suited with a tolerant, playful pup as he can occasionally get rowdy and incessant on instigating play.
Cats: Likely a no.
House trained: Yes
Crate trained: Yes
Need to know: Our boy either needs to be on a leash at all times or a 6 foot fence as he can hop anything shorter. He will thrive in a home who wants a dog who they can truly bond with, and understands the breed and their need for daily physical and mental stimulation.
Frederick is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is available for adoption to residents of CT and surrounding states. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application from omdrescue.org
