My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! My name is Freckles, I came into the shelter as a stray so my history is unknown. The person who found me said I enjoyed playing with their dog though proper introductions are always recommended to ensure harmony. I have also shown to have high prey drive so should not be in a home with cats or small animals. I enjoy getting attention from people and peanut butter is my favorite treat! Thanks for considering adopting me!

Freckles and her unrivaled speckles are still waiting for a home. Check out these lovely insights from her adventure buddy...
`Freckles is the sweetest girl ever. She is super energetic and loves to play with her toys. She prefers soft toys so she can rip them up and loves to chase a tennis ball. After she’s done playing she becomes the most cuddly girl and loves to curl up next to you on the couch and snore. She still needs some training but is a very sweet girl!!`
`My husband and I really enjoyed going on a hike with Freckles. She was very excited when we picked her up, but calmed down as soon as she got in the car. We took her to Carolina North Forest and found that she loves hiking in the woods and finding all the scents. She only pulled on the leash for the first several minutes, and after that she was great on the leash and was calm and focused on the hike. She was able to easily hike about 3.5 miles and seemed strong the whole time. She would occasionally stop and come back to us for pets, and then get back to sniffing along the trail. She easily passed other walkers, runners, and bikes, but had some trouble passing other dogs - she would pull and try to go meet them. We started stopping and giving her treats when we saw other dogs and that helped quite a bit. When we drove back to the shelter after the hike, she climbed into my lap and took a short nap. Freckles is an excellent hiking/walking companion and is a very sweet and affectionate girl.`

-Adopting-
Some animals can be taken home the same day they are adopted, but those adoptions must occur before a certain time of day and are dependent upon several factors. If you are interested in taking a pet home on the same day you adopt, please consult with the adoption desk to find out if that pet is able to go home right away.
