Meet Fred, a shepherd mix born around October 2024 who recently traded the warmth of Arkansas for a new life in Minnesota. While he has the handsome features of a shepherd, he is a uniquely compact guy, weighing in at just under 50 lbs—giving him the manageable, sturdy size of a beagle mix. Fred is a total lovebug who has mastered the art of being the perfect houseguest. He is already house trained, great in his crate, and a complete gentleman on walks since he doesn't pull on the leash.
This social southern gentleman is a friend to everyone he meets, getting along famously with dogs, cats, and kids alike. He is excellent in the car, making him the ideal co-pilot for errands or weekend adventures. Fred already knows how to sit and shake, proving he’s as smart as he is sweet. While he might whine just a tiny bit when first settling into his kennel, he quiets down quickly once he knows he’s safe.
Because Fred successfully navigated heartworm treatment before his big move, he simply needs a family committed to keeping him on a regular heartworm preventative to stay healthy. In exchange, he promises a lifetime of loyal companionship and endless snuggles. If you are looking for a well-mannered, affectionate companion who is ready to settle into a forever home, Fred is waiting to meet you.
