My story

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

Meet Zeppelin!
This pint-sized rockstar is a 3-year-old Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix with a delightful personality packed into his 7-pound frame. With his luxurious long coat and gentle spirit, Zeppelin is the definition of a velcro dog—he just wants to be near you, soaking up all the love and affection he can get.
Little Zeppelin is a world-class cuddler who melts into your arms and lives for belly rubs. Sweet and affectionate to his core, he'll follow you from room to room and prefers being your shadow over anything else. While he's okay in his crate, his happy place is wherever you are. And he is so small that he can go with you everywhere!!
Zeppelin can be a bit shy around men but with a bit of time and a lot of treats..you could be best friends!!
All Zeppelin really wants is someone to love him and show him that the world can be kind. If you have room in your heart and your lap for this sweet boy, he'll reward you with unconditional devotion and endless snuggles.

The adoption fee for this dog is $400

Additional adoption info

Our adoption coordinators have conversations each applicant to ensure a good match for the pet and person/family, perform vet checks if there are current pets. Adopters must come to either the foster home or an event to meet the pet. If the dog/cat is too young to be altered, a deposit is taken and our spay/neuter coordinator follows up ensuring the procedure is done. Below is our link to our dog application. We also have a cat application but there is only space for 1 link.

More about this rescue

A kitten named Freckles, who was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), and a desire to help more at-risk cats and dogs find forever homes, were the catalyst that ignited Athena Reizakis to start Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue. While our main mission is to place animals in need in loving homes, we also place a special emphasis on the “underdog.” We will not let age or a medical diagnosis, such as FIP or heartworm, be a barrier in giving that animal the chance at the life they so deserve.

Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue, founded in December of 2023, is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are a foster-based rescue with a volunteer network spanning across Maryland, DC, and Virginia. We are committed to creating awareness within the communities we serve and working towards the best interest of the animals in our care. It is not just about finding homes for pets in need but finding a home that is right for them.

Freckles Foundation works with shelters, other rescue groups, community organizations, and individuals to identify cats and dogs in need of rescue. Once in our care we provide these animals with necessary veterinary care and a loving, nurturing foster home until they are adopted. Cats and dogs receive vaccinations, preventatives, and spay/neuter (if age appropriate) prior to adoption. Our rescues are cared for in our network of volunteer foster homes and provided with food, shelter, socialization, training, and other necessary care while awaiting adoption.

We are funded solely by donations and adoption fees. We are 100% volunteer-based currently.
