Kent, WA

Size

Story

Hi! My name is Freddy and I am available for adoption.I am still a puppy but I will grow to be a medium or large breed dog. I am full of energy and I love to play! I tend to calm down more when the people around me stay calm. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy.My caregivers have noticed I do NOT get along well with cats and would need to go to a home with no cats or small animals. Because I am a puppy, I will need to find a home where someone is available for me in these early days. It is important to be consistent with me and socialize me so I can have the best companionship with people and other animals. Puppies require patience because everything is brand new so I will need some TLC while I learn. I am not potty trained or crate training yet and teaching me those skills will help tremendously on a road to success! If you and your family are ready to fall in love my awesome self, please check me out!!You can visit me at the Pet Adoption Center on weekdays from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The Pet Adoption Center is located at 21615 64th Ave S, Kent, WA 98032.Come and visit me today, I`d love to go home with you!

Hi!

I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy. I would do best in a calm, quiet home with adults only.I am very treat motivated and love tasty snacks.I was nominated as the Pet of the Week on September 26, 2025. This means that my adoption fee has been reduced. Please note that a pet license is a requirement and therefore a fee may be applied.

Although your new pet is ready for adoption, there is always a possibility of additional medical conditions that have not been detected or may develop in the future. Current medical conditions are noted below.1) Moderate tartar/dental disease - this dog was noted to have moderate tartar/plaque build up. He would benefit from a dental cleaning (under anesthesia). Please follow up with your regular vet or veterinary dentist for treatment/management recommendations.2) Underweight - this dog was noted to be underweight. He has showed no signs of illness and is eating. We suspect this is due to malnutrition or normal/individual variation. Please follow up with your regular vet for diagnostic and treatment/management recommendations.3) Medial patella luxation - this dog was noted to have bilateral MPLs (medial patella luxation) where the knee cap pops in and out of his grooves. They do not seem to be painful or bother him. No medications indicated at this time. This can be managed supportive with medications if they are painful or may need surgical correction in the future. Please follow up with your regular vet or veterinary surgeon for any treatment/management recommendations.
