Adopt Fred

Male · Adult · 5 years

Meet Fred, a fantastic 5-year-old foxhound and ultimate adventure companion! Sniffing is his greatest passion - he's the Picasso of paws when it comes to this art form. He offers a super cute paw and sits like a gentleman, especially for cheese treats. Fred would do best as the only pet in the home, though he enjoys walking buddies. He can live with secondary school-aged children and needs owners around most of the time initially as he adores his people. This active boy needs plenty of exercise and mental engagement. Wherever you go, he'll follow with tail wagging and nose exploring everything.
