Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Freya – A Big, Beautiful Girl with a Bigger Love for Her People 💕
Freya is a stunning young lady with a personality that shines brightest once she feels safe and secure. Her favorite way to ask for affection? If you walk past her while she’s lying down, she’ll quietly lift a leg — her gentle, unmistakable request for a belly rub. And trust us, once you start, she’s happy to keep them coming.
Freya’s weekday routine is well established and shows just how adaptable she can be. She’s comfortable being home alone for 8–9 hours, free-roaming in the house (no crate for this girl). She enjoys a walk before work and a longer walk in the evening, and spends her days rotating between napping, chewing on bones, and playing with her toys. She’s fully house-trained and settles nicely into a predictable rhythm.
With her people, Freya is incredibly affectionate and loyal. She’s a true Velcro dog — following her person from room to room, always nearby, always asking for pets, belly rubs, or a good brushing. Once she bonds with you, you’re her person, and she loves deeply.
Freya’s challenges come mainly in social situations. She is reactive to other dogs on leash and, at this stage, would do best as the only dog in the home. While she once enjoyed playing with a foster puppy and may be able to live with another dog in the future, this would require very slow, patient introductions and ongoing training. She has not been exposed to cats and does have a prey drive, so a cat-free home is recommended. A child-free home is also recommended for this girl as predictability will really benefit her.
Freya enjoys both independent play with toys and interactive play with her people. She’s energetic, happy, and playful, with an average-to-high activity level that will benefit from regular walks, enrichment, and continued training.
She does have some separation anxiety, so while she can handle time alone, consistency and reassurance are important for her emotional well-being.
The most important thing to know about Freya is this: she is truly the sweetest girl, and everyone who’s been able to meet her and earn her trust has absolutely loved her. She simply needs time, patience, and thoughtful introductions to feel safe in the world.
