He’s a calm, cuddly, cutie!
Hey, there! I’m Frederick– a 1-year-old snuggle bug… I mean, Spaniel mix! I’m still just a little guy at 18.5 pounds, and while I’m happy and healthy, I’m on a journey to discover the big world out there. My start wasn’t the easiest—I came from a hoarding situation in National City with a bunch of other dogs. That’s left me a bit nervous around new dogs and people, but I’ve been making big strides with my foster family!
I’m a quiet, calm boy who’s all about the belly rubs. Seriously, I’ll take a belly rub over a treat any day! I’m smart too—following my foster mom from room to room, curious about everything she’s doing. I get along well with her little dog, who mostly ignores me, which is just my speed right now. New dogs and people can be a bit scary for me, so I think I’d be happiest in a calm, quiet home where I can be the only dog.
I’m still a bit scared to be outside, but I’m getting better! I’ve got the pee pad routine down and will even walk around the house on a leash with my foster mom. I don’t have any separation anxiety, which is great news. What I really need is a patient, loving home where I can feel safe and start to come out of my shell even more. I’d love a backyard where I can explore at my own pace and get more comfortable with the outdoors.
All in all, I’m a sweet little cuddle bug who’s just starting to show my playful side. I’d do best in a home without kids, though older teens might be okay if they’re calm and understanding. I’m looking for someone who can give me the time and love I need to truly blossom. I may be a bit shy at first, but once I get to know you, I’ll be your loyal, loving companion.
