Meet Freddie, a laid-back and loving boy who came to the shelter as a stray on 9/10. He's incredibly sweet, and nothing makes him happier than cuddles and pets. Freddie is the perfect companion for anyone looking for a calm and affectionate buddy to share their days with. Could Freddie be the one for you? Freddie is currently eligible for rescue, foster and adoption. Head to ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or email foster@acctphilly.org to express interest in fostering him! Behavioral: Per Day Trip 9/15/24: Day trip notes 9/15/24 Freddie is a gentle laid back dog. When we first got in the car he was somewhat stressed and once we got to Fairmount Park he needed to walk awhile before you could see him just relax. We stopped for some water and he laid down and just started to chill. I sat down beside him and he just closed his eyes and then rolled over some belly rubs. He took treats gently and walked right beside me the whole time loose leash. No jumping and getting in your face. Just a gentle quiet guy. Would be a great companion for an older person. Per volunteer on 9/14: Appears house broken - pooped and peed right as we got outside. Super sweetie pie was excited to walk but calm throughout the whole process. Cuddled up close to me and very much enjoyed getting pet. Explored around the yard as well. Good on leash. Doesn't seem to know any commands. Another dog walked by and he really wanted to play w/ it (crying at it and pawing towards it) but still calm and gentle ab it. Pretty small guy and seems young but full grown and very chill for a young dog. Seems like would love to be a lap dog who loves walks and then loves to nap up next to human after the walk. Per staff 9/11: BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: Freddie KNOWN HISTORY: Stray KENNEL PRESENTATION: Freddie was in the front of his kennel with soft eyes and a low wagging tail. He was easy to leash and came right out. LEASH SKILLS: Pull minimally HANDLING: Freddie came outside with a wagging tail and sniffed curiously through the yard.
