Fred

Meet Fred better known as Handsome Fred, a tiny Chihuahua with a huge comeback story. When he first arrived in rescue, he was heartbreakingly thin, exhausted, and struggling to survive. A vet visit finally revealed why: Fred has EPI, a condition that makes it hard for him to absorb nutrients. With a simple enzyme powder added to each meal, everything changed. Now a healthy 7.5 pounds, Fred has blossomed into the bright, joyful little dog he was always meant to be.<br/><br/>Fred is a professional lap dog who believes every seated human is simply a throne waiting for him. His signature move is an almost 180 degree head tilt when he's curious or confused a habit from his sick days that he has kept because, frankly, its adorable. Now that he feels good, he's making up for lost time: squeaky toys, bouncy toys, rolling toys... if it moves, Fred wants to play with it.<br/><br/>He loves other dogs and would thrive with a confident canine buddy who can show him the ropes, since he's still learning boundaries and can play a bit rough. Running humans confuse him, and he may chase and grab a pant leg if he feels left behind, so a calmer home without very young kids is best.<br/><br/>Fred is doing great with potty training, still learning overnight routines, and may try to scale a baby gate if it means getting closer to his people. At his core, Fred is all heart affectionate, silly, loyal, and finally getting to enjoy being a puppy. Now he just needs a family who will love him for the rest of his life<br/><br/>Fred has been neutered, is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Fred, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt).
