*Freya is looking for a foster or foster to adopt home. All supplies needed to foster and care for a dog are provided by the rescue. Items include crate, food, leash, collar, toys, treats and heartworm, flea and tick prevention.

Freya is a beautiful, nearly 2-year-old mixed-breed girl who found herself at the shelter through no fault of her own. Her previous owner surrendered for for unknown reasons. When Freya arrived, she was heavily pregnant, and within a week, she welcomed five healthy puppies into the world!

Throughout the entire process, Freya has been wonderful with staff ant the shelter and has proven to be an excellent mama. Now that her puppies are growing up, it’s finally Freya’s turn to find a loving home of her own!

Freya is a medium-sized girl who will likely weigh around 50–55 pounds once she returns to her normal body weight.

Other Dogs: Freya previously lived with other dogs and got along with them. However, she has been less comfortable around unfamiliar dogs at the shelter, where she was pregnant or caring for her puppies. The shelter is beginning to explore dog introductions to better understand her compatibility with other dogs now that her puppies are gone.

Children: Freya previously lived with children, but based on what we’ve learned about her, we recommend a home with older children or adults.

Her Ideal Home: Freya deserves a family who will give her the love, patience, and security she needs to thrive. She has spent so much of her time caring for her puppies, and now it’s her turn to be someone’s baby!

Could you be the one to give Freya the forever home she deserves?

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.

Our mission is to save unwanted, abandoned, abused, and neglected dogs by placing them into loving forever homes.
