Hi, I’m Fred—and I’m ready to be your favorite part of the day. 🐾

Let me guess: you’ve had a long day, and you need a cuddle, a kiss on the cheek, maybe a goofy grin to lift your spirits? I’ve got you covered.

I’m a 7½-year-old pug-shih tzu mix, about 25 pounds of pure love and muscle. I’ve got a strong little body, a playful streak, and a heart that’s just waiting to be yours.

Here’s the deal: I’m looking for a home with no kids. Toddlers stress me out (they’re unpredictable, okay?), and I just want to feel safe and relaxed. I’ve lived with another dog before—she was my bestie—but I’m not really into making new dog friends. I’d rather be your one and only.

Now, humans? I LOVE humans. Walk into a room and sit down, and I’ll be next to you in five minutes flat, staring up at you like you hung the moon. People fall for me fast. They meet me once and start sending me gifts. I’m kind of a big deal.

I’m playful, snuggly, and always up for a walk. I do pull on the leash (especially if I see a squirrel—those guys are asking for it), but I’m working on my manners with a No-Pull harness. I’m crate-trained, trustworthy when you leave me home alone, and I know how to sit politely when it’s time to gear up for an outing.

Whether you want to chill on the couch or toss a toy around the yard, I’m your guy. I’ll be your shadow, your cheerleader, your cuddle buddy, your best friend.

My adoption fee is $175, and I’m ready to meet the person who’ll love me forever. Could that be you?

Love, Fred 🐶💛
