Howdy Doody Northeastern people, I’m a very handsome 1-1/2-year-old, 45 lb male Shar Pei mix, now named Freedom, and for a very good reason! I was living in Atascosa, Texas, and being abused by my owner. Frequently, the neighbors would see me being beaten, and one day, when the opportunity presented itself, one of the neighbors took me. Not only was I finally free and finally safe, but my owners didn’t even care. They never asked about me or looked for me, so a few weeks later, I was taken in by 4 Little Paws Rescue and sent to a foster home. I am now vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, happy, and healthy, and although I am missing some teeth and still have some scars from a dog who attacked me, I am a very grateful boy, and am dreaming of a loving forever home!
It turns out I am the sweetest, nicest, friendliest dog, and I love everyone… all humans, other dogs, and kitty cats. My foster mom says I wake up every morning in a happy mood, greeting her with my goofy smile, and lots of wagging and body wiggles. Yes, I am a dog who smiles when feeling happy or getting treats, and I also love to share kisses. What can I say?.. My heart is full of love, and I am very affectionate. I am also very nicely behaved, housebroken, and I know how to use a doggy door. I’m not really into dog toys, but I am into playtime with my dog friends, running zoomies, chasing tennis balls, going for walks, and rides in the car. I will make a wonderful forever dog, so inquire about me today!
