Story
Hey there, I’m Gus, a little guy with a short, to the point name that means “Exalted” or “Great One”! Though my name seams simple, it’s thought to be a PERFECT name for a “little Royal in your life”. It’s sweet yet the embodiment of power and royalty. Yep, that’s me, a GREAT little boy, short in stature weighing in at only 35# or so just 5 years old. Taken in by Molly’s Place with my ma and bro, I have been waiting for a chance for a furever home. Ma, said to be a sharp looking possibly PURE Basenji, and dad, well, mom never said, but said to have been a hansom dude, so this apple didn’t fall far from the tree. I’m really have a handsome pooch if I do say so myself. Decked out in a Glistening Brindle fur mix of browns, chestnut and black, my coat is short, face ever so sweet, cute tipped ears, set off by my soulful golden eyes.   Although initially shy, I do warm up and known to be great with adults and other doggies. Fast moving children scare me so best if no children in my home. Once settled in and confident, I’ll bring SUNSHINE into your life with my playful charm and goofy character. Although I’m NOT a wild child, I do need some exercise and a 4 foot fence would suit my just fine giving me initial boundaries. If you have it in your heart to reach out to a little boy that only needs a chance to prove what love is, get going, fill out an application and come meet up with me. You will not regret it!  Gus, is waiting for his new life to begin! To submit an adoption application, visit mollysplacerescue.org.

Story
Sly’s my name and having fun is my game! Sly, short for Sylvester, is a sweet and a bit “Cheeky boy’s name given for a “ONE-OF-A-Kind” MUNCHKIN! Need I say more? NOT…… At just 3 years of age, weighing about 35# my silky soft short coat of Chocolate Brown,  White Crest and “4” white socks! Got the picture? PERSONALTY FROM TIP OF MY TAIL TO THE STRIP UP MY NOSE! My ears are tipped, eyes “Golden/Brown” that show I’m a “Soft Soul”. Taken in by Molly’s Place, my bro Gus and I have been waiting for a chance for our furever home. Mom came in with us and was for sure a sharp looking possibly PURE Basenji. Fortunately, she has already gotten a home. Dad, well, mom never said, but he had to have been a hansom dude as well. Yep, good looks run in the family!   Although initially shy, I do warm up and known to be great with adults and other doggies. Fast moving children scare me so best if no children in my home. Once settled in and confident, my fun loving yet gentle demeanor shines though. I do need some exercise and a 4 foot fence would suit my just fine giving me initial boundaries and safety. I could be a single kind a guy or another dogs best buddy! No problem. If you have it in your heart to reach out to a little boy that only needs a chance to prove what love is, get going, fill out an application, lets meet. I'm eager to please with so much love to give.

Story
Ode to Joy!!That is what Waverlie is at her fosters home. She is playing with pups, loving on her foster mom and enjoying all the treats and sweets that her new life brings. She is a small 38 pound 11 month old who can be a bit clumsy when playing but is super athletic and ready for walks, hikes and frisbee games. She loves to be cared for and is very affectionate in return. Waverlie enjoys her toys and bones and is responsive to training so far.. Housetrained and crate trained . She loves kids but over 8 would be better since she can knock little ones over. Another playful dog is required for Waverlei and a fenced yard would be awesome for her. But most important is the love that a family will bring to her. Waverlie is spayed, fully vaccinated, and up to date on all preventatives—ready to go home and be adored. The adoption fee for this dog is $450. Application for adoption: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FRE/Dog If you are viewing on Petfinder/Adoptapet and cannot see photos or would like to apply for this dog please visit our website, www.frecklesfoundation.org. ***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs....all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So, adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many! Puppies require an adopter who is home a good part of the day to continue their training! They are up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and preventatives. Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue cannot guarantee the exact age or breed of any animal in our care. The age and breed listed are based on information we may have been provided, and the appearance of the animal.
