My first thought when Fred arrived at our home on Saturday was, “He is going to be the perfect dog for one lucky family!” This gorgeous boy is eager to please, affectionate, and fun-loving. He loves absolutely everyone, greeting anyone who arrives at the door like a long-lost friend. He does not jump or bark, but wiggles and wags his tail with unbridled enthusiasm. In fact, I have yet to hear him bark. He shows absolutely no interest in our multiple cats, and will actually go out of his way to avoid them if they are in his path. He actually shows very little interest in our resident dog, either, and seems to be much more people-oriented. He is very good about going outside, doing his duty, and coming right back in, although he also loves following us around the yard if we are working outside. He basically just wants to be by his people.

Fred loves his walks, and shows very little interest in any other dogs that we come across along the way. We discovered that he walks almost perfectly when he is by himself, but pulls a bit when we walk the two dogs together. He will sit and stay at our side on command, and is very in tune with the person walking him. Fred LOVES, LOVES, LOVES, to chase a ball, and will actually throw it around for himself when we humans tire of the game. He can sit and shake hands, and with some additional training, I believe his potential is tremendous! He is still a bit nervous, but is becoming more comfortable with time. This is one lovable boy who is looking forward to finding a forever home where he can shower his family with slobbery love and affection.
