📋 Special Notes:

• Very shy and fearful around strangers; needs a secure garden and walks only with a safety harness.

• Could benefit from a calm, confident dog companion.

Fred has been through a lot — he is extremely shy and cautious. He won’t run up to greet you or wag his tail right away. He prefers to keep his distance until he feels truly safe. But with time, gentle care, and patience, he starts to open up — quietly and slowly — showing how much he wants to trust.

But give him time, patience, and kindness, and you’ll see a quiet transformation. His trust, once earned, is deep and sincere.

Fred would do best in a peaceful home with an experienced and understanding adopter who doesn’t expect instant results. He needs someone who will let him take things at his own pace. A home with another friendly, balanced dog would be ideal, as Fred gains confidence from the presence of other dogs.

If you're looking for a rewarding journey and the kind of bond that comes from truly earning a dog’s love, Fred is waiting for you.
