Papillon Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Fred 🐾

Fred is an adorable adult Papillon mix who is getting a second chance at life. He came to us from a rural Illinois animal control after his owner sadly passed away. Fred had been living in a hoarding-type environment with countless other dogs, along with a dog in our care named Lucy - who may be his sister or possibly his daughter.

Because of his past, Fred is still learning what it means to be a cherished family dog. He can be a little shy at first, but with patience, kindness, and a calm home, his sweet personality begins to shine through. Fred is dog-friendly and finds comfort around other pups.

Fred could be adopted with Lucy or separately-though having another friendly dog in the home may help him continue to build confidence.

If you’re the kind of person who understands that the best relationships take a little time and love, Fred may be the perfect little companion to grow with.

Fostered in Alsip IL. Meets scheduled with approved applicants. Apply to adopt at dogs4u.org

Securely fenced yard required, Fred is not comfortable walking on a leash.
