Story
Meet Freckles Born around 12/20/25 | Australian Shepherd mix | Medium–large when grown Freckles is quite possibly the perfect puppy. Sweet, gentle, and endlessly loving, he has mastered the art of balancing playtime with cuddle time. If you’re looking for a devoted snuggle buddy, Freckles is your guy — just be sure you’re ready to rub his belly, because that’s his favorite thing in the world. Freckles absolutely adores his people and loves being right by their side. At the same time, he’s wonderfully well-adjusted and does great spending time in his pen when needed. He’s calm for a puppy, affectionate, and eager to please. He is excellent with kids, great with big dogs, and truly loves cats — no chasing at all. In fact, the resident cat even cuddles up with him, which tells you everything you need to know about how gentle and sweet he is. As an Australian Shepherd mix, Freckles will grow to be on the larger side of medium and will thrive in a home ready to give him love, companionship, and positive guidance as he grows. If you’re searching for a puppy with a heart of gold, a soft spot for cats, and an endless supply of cuddles, Freckles is ready to steal your heart.
