Story
Courtesy Post. To apply for this dog please visit Northwest Rescue Collective, www.northwestrescuecollective.com Freddie Mercury is an adult cattle dog mix available for adoption through foster mom Kim Reno in the Yakima Valley, and his foster mom is happy to drive him to meet you if you’re not local. This pup would do best in a home without young children. While sweet and affectionate with adults, he can feel overwhelmed by fast movements and loud energy. In a calm, respectful environment his true loving personality really shines. Freddie Mercury is friendly, curious, and deeply affectionate — the kind of dog who brings warmth and joy into every interaction. He has a playful, happy spirit and a love for fetch that’s impossible to miss. Open a door, and Freddie heads straight for the ball, ready for his next game. His energy is enthusiastic but not overwhelming, making him a great balance of fun and companionship. • Good with dogs • Good with cats • Leash trained • Crate trained • Potty trained He’s an intelligent dog who enjoys having a purpose and will do best in a home that appreciates his joyful personality and is excited to keep building on his skills. One of Freddie’s most striking features is his incredible jungle-cat–like markings. Along the entire left side of his body — including both front and back legs — you’ll see bold, distinctive markings that continue across his belly and side. Look closely and you’ll even spot what appears to be a little “cat face” hidden in his coat, making him as visually unique as he is lovable. Freddie Mercury is ready to bring loyalty, laughter, and companionship to the right home — and he’s more than willing to travel to find it.
