Meet Frederick!
This sweet boy’s story could’ve ended so differently—he was found on the shoulder of a busy highway, covered in fleas and ticks, hungry, and in need of help. Fate stepped in when a rescuer drove by and stopped to save him. From the very start, Frederick has shown nothing but gratitude and love, patiently letting us clean him up and showing us what a gentle soul he is.
Now, Frederick is thriving and ready for his forever home! He’s a happy, playful pup who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and even does well with cats (though he wishes they were as excited to play as he is!). He sleeps through the night in his crate and is learning his manners, like sitting nicely for treats.
Frederick loves tug of war and always greets the morning by grabbing a toy first thing out of his crate—it’s his way of saying “let’s play!” With his sweet nature, playful energy, and eagerness to learn, we’re confident he’d be a fantastic family companion, including in a home with kids.
Frederick is ready to share his joy, toys, and cuddles with a family who will love him forever.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
