Fred – Staying with Foster Mom
Meet Fred (Senior)
Status: Fostered
Estimated Age: 12 Years
Estimated Weight: 28 Pounds
NOTE: Prefers to be in a home with another dog.
NEW - 6 MAY 2023: Fred is a return foster to our home as his adopted family are military and could not take him with them on their latest new deployment. But, they adored Fred as much as I’m sure his new adoptive family will as he is a lovely guy.
Fred has been back with us for about a week and hasn't missed a beat in joining with our family of beagles. He loves people, beagles, car rides and romping in the yard. He is housed trained, knows how to use stairs and a doggy door. He answers to his name and some basic commands such as stop, stay, sit. He is a huge foody and loves treats and toys with treats. He will snatch food from the edge of table if I leave it unattended. Fred does have separation anxiety and will need a family that has at least one other dog as he can’t be left alone.
Fred greets everyone that enters the house and is careful with little children - he just sniffs them and stands for them to pet him. He is polite in everything he does. He loves to sit on the sofa and curl up with you, loves to be stroked, doggy beds and soft blankets. He is trained for a leash. He is used to regular walks and easy to control when on a leash. He will greet you loudly and be loud when running around the yard playing with children, adults, and other dogs. But he does settle down quickly when directed to do so. He is a well mannered dog and family friendly. He doesn’t like his bath time but will just stand sadly and wait for it to be over. But he loves being rubbed with the towel after bath and likes his aloe skin treatment. When in the house during the day and on the deck he is very laid back and relaxed. He just loves to hang with the family and take walks with everyone. He does like to sleep on our bed if allowed. If rejected, he picks the couch or a dog bed. He seems to adapt quickly and respond to what is allowed and not allowed.
Questions?
Q: Can you tell me more about a specific dog? Is s/he good with kids / housetrained / good with cats/ etc?
A: What we know is in the write up. Our knowledge about any dog that is not in a foster homes is limited. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will work with you to match you with the right dog.
Q: Can I meet a specific dog?
A: We’re sorry, but you must be an approved adopter to meet our dogs. Pre-pandemic, dogs could be met at adoption days, but you still had to be approved to adopt from an adoption day.
Q: How can I adopt a specific dog?
A: You must submit an adoption application and be approved to adopt. You can do that under Adopt – you can also learn about the adoption process there.. It will take about two weeks for an adoption coordinator to get in touch with you. Please keep in mind that dogs that are available now may be adopted in the meantime. But we are always getting new dogs. You can see them on our website.
Q: Can I add another dog to the list on my application?
A: We don’t hold you to the dogs you listed on your application. It gives us an idea of what you are looking for. Plus it will let us know if someone is interested in one of our special needs / hard to place dogs.
Q: I indicated that I was interested in a specific dog on my application, but I see that s/he has been adopted. What happened?
A: We do not hold dogs. Applicants in the queue before you are being approved and may adopt the dog you are interested in before you are approved. But we are always getting new dogs in and your adoption coordinator will help you find the perfect match.
