My story

  Meet Freya, a sweet and spirited pup with a true zest for life! Joyful, affectionate, and always up for an adventure (or a cozy cuddle on the couch), Freya has blossomed into a playful companion who brings fun wherever she goes. Whether she’s racing around the yard or tossing her toys in the air during a solo game of fetch, Freya is the life of the party—and her enthusiasm is contagious! Freya is smart, eager to please, and incredibly food-motivated, which makes her a great fit for continued training. She’s still learning how to channel her excitement in appropriate ways, so a patient and consistent adopter will help her thrive. On walks, Freya loves to explore, sniff, and hop after birds and squirrels. She’s doing well with house training but hasn’t gotten the hang of going potty on walks just yet—she prefers using her designated spot in the yard, so a home with yard access would be a big plus. Freya is looking for a mature, dog-savvy home—either adult-only or with older children/teens—where she can continue learning and growing with structure and support. She’s made great progress in foster care and is ready to keep building on that in her forever home! Despite her energetic side, Freya is a total snugglebug at heart. She loves curling up with her people at the end of the day and finds comfort in being close. Her routine in foster care includes morning naps while her foster works from home, afternoon playtime, and peaceful nights sleeping in her own bed. She’s also crate trained and does well when left alone for short periods. If you're looking for a bright, bouncy, and loving companion who will keep you smiling and melt into your lap at the end of the day, Freya might just be your perfect match. So please email us adoptions@phillypaws.org to learn more and submit your application today! Age: ~1.5 years old How I came to PAWS: Found Stray Animal ID#: A-179591 Weight: 19 lbs Mixed breed (It’s impossible to identify breed mix by sight alone, so for most dogs, their mix is only a guess. We get to know each dog as an individual and strive to make matches based on personality, not on breed label.) Location: Foster Care &#226&#128&#139All of our dog meets are by appointment only; to get started, please complete the adoption application. To learn more about this dog, please contact us at adoptions@phillypaws.org or 215-298-9680 ext. 16. Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, 2900 Grays Ferry Ave, Phila, PA 19146 (by appointment only).
