Freedom

Profile

Please join me in welcoming Freedom to the RAGOM life!  Freddie came all the way from Missouri thanks to the help of many terrific volunteers willing to spend part of their holiday weekend getting several dogs on the road to the good life in Minnesota!  My personal thanks to William for temporarily fostering her -- particularly for the bath, brushing, and special food to control her allergies :)

Freedom is a Golden 'mix.'  Even the vet couldn't guess what all her lineage might be!  Currently, she weighs 54 lbs but could probably gain 10 more -- she's pretty skinny.  Her age is estimated to be about 10 but she could be younger since she's got more pep and enthusiasm than my 7 yr old GR.  Freddie's front teeth are very worn from chewing on wire or something else totally inappropriate for a dog.  Her coat is also in less than great condition with several bald patches.  So she looks a bit rough which probably makes her look older than she really is.  Blood work indicated that Freedom is healthy except for being borderline hypothyroid which is easily managed.  And with some topical cortisone spray and omega-3 supplements to control her itching and improve her skin allergies, Freddie's already looking better and feeling more comfortable!

It's apparent that Freedom was an indoor dog as she hasn't had even one accident in the house -- a first for my dogs whether foster or resident!  She gets along well with resident Mini and has even gotten her to wrestle a couple of times (a really big deal since Mini was a puppy mill dog and doesn't know much about playing).

More to come on this little sweetie -- but please contact your placement advisor (if you are an approved adopter) if you don't want to wait!
