Meet Freddy. Freddy’s story is one we wish no animal ever had to experience. He was found in an apartment complex in Georgia after his owner passed away, left behind in a crate with no one there to make sure he was safe, comfortable, or even cared for. By the time Freddy was rescued, his body showed the effects of prolonged neglect. He was missing fur on his abdomen, had painful eye issues that ultimately required both eyes to be removed, and was suffering from severe dental disease. Yet somehow, through all he endured, Freddy remained a sweet and gentle boy. He is finally receiving the care and compassion he should have known all along, and we’re so grateful that his story gets to have a different ending. Freddy doesn’t need anyone to feel sorry for him. He needs someone to see the wonderful dog underneath everything he has been through and give him the safe, loving home he deserves. An adoption bio is only a snapshot of who an animal is. For more information about Freddie, including his personality, needs, and what type of home may be the best fit, please reach out to our Adoptions Team. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
Yet somehow, through all he endured, Freddy remained a sweet and gentle boy. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
