Story
Animal Profile: Freddy Johnny is an approximately 1.5- 2-year-old, 20 lb neutered male mystery mix (maybe poodle?). He was assessed by our rescue partner to be social and friendly with humans and other dogs. Foster Update: This sweet boy has an adorable “resting grump face” and soulful old eyes that belie his sweet, cuddly nature and joyful approach to life. Freddy is an extremely athletic boy and super smart. He has demonstrated an ability to get in/out/over/under/through just about any obstacle. Thankfully, he’s also very eager to please, so once you make it clear what is not allowed, he generally honors your wishes. Freddy was super easy to house train and has not made a single mistake during our first 48 hours with him. He easily learns new commands, including "place" to go in his crate. He settles down easily at bedtime or when crated during the day (after an occasional loud, momentary objection). We have not seen any destructive tendencies. He loves all the food and treats we give him and is starting to fill out nicely, without guarding or any food aggression. Freddy is an absolute dream to cuddle, gazing up lovingly with those soulful brown eyes. He also enjoys being groomed and loves playing fetch and hide and seek with toys. He could play fetch forever, but also is easy to redirect, and he chews his precious stuffies gently. Freddy love his walks and hiking lights up his spirit! He’s mostly good on leash, although he does have reactivity toward some other dogs. Freddy would benefit from ongoing leash training and someone who can advocate for his space when passing by other dogs. While Freddy may adjust to meeting new dogs with a slow introduction, he would prefer to be the only dog in the home. It seems Freddy reserves all of his affection for humans. He loves and wants them all to be his people. He’s shown no obvious preference for gender, height, age -- anyone with a lap and love to give is great -- although he can be a bit too rambunctious around really young children. With adult humans, he is very submissive and quick to roll on his back when reprimanded. He tends to bark at the TV, but mostly just when it turns on, which is kind of cute. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, microchip with registration, and health certificate. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. All adoption fees go toward the care of all dogs in our rescue.

Lucky him! She scoped him up and he arrives in Seattle on Nov 12. This dog will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.December 8, 2023, 5:50 pm
