Story
Freddy is a 1-year-old, 18-pound male rat terrier mix from Texas! Freddy is a cuddly, low energy, loving pup. He is is continuing to adjust during his time in Brooklyn. Freddy enjoys cuddling on the couch, walks when it’s not so cold out, and dinner time.
He is working on obedience training. He is a quick learner and picked up potty training quickly. Sit and stay are still a work in progress but shouldn’t take long. He likes to be obedient and is scared to get in trouble. Loud noises and action is still really scary. During his time with his foster family, he is just about house trained. He seems to be learning quickly and should be fully trained very soon.
Freddy is great on a leash, he does get spooked with noise or anything distracting and will just stop walking. Once pulled a little bit he will shake it off and keep going. He doesn’t like the cold but once it gets warmer out I think he will love a good long walk!
His forever family will need to continue working with Freddy to reinforce and advance the progress he's been making. Each day he is getting more and more confident. He needs to feel safe and secure.
Freddy has done well in his crate during the day. He may cry at first but has been better when he has a bone to chew on. He is in his crate whenever he is home alone or at night. He loves to be cozy with his foster mom on the couch and can often be found cuddled up with pillows on the couch.
Freddy is looking for a quiet or low key house. He doesn’t play much but that may change when he builds confidence feeling more comfortable. He seems to be interested in other dogs but hasn’t had much interaction. He is okay with cats, only just being a little scared when they jump out at him.He seems to be fine with people and children, just needs to feel safe and comfortable. He is scared but has not shown any aggression.
Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella. Neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
