Freddie #6654

Freddie is a 1.5 year old, about 60ish lb, male Great Pyr/Golden mix. He was surrendered to GRRAND by his owner due to littermate syndrome with his sibling. We are told: "I rescued two puppies from a horrible situation. I planned to keep them both and I've had them for about 6 months now, but they have now developed litter mate syndrome and are constantly fighting. I'm rehoming Freddie for their safety. He can be fearful of strangers but not in an aggressive way and it takes some time for him to warm up to new people. I believe he was previously abused before I rescued him. He has always got along with my other dogs, my cats, my chickens and family's dogs that visit our house often. He has only had any kind of aggressive issues with his littermate that I have. He does know some basic commands and has a pretty good recall with me. He has only ever tried to escape the fence out of fear on the 4th of July and he should not have been outside anyway, but he hates fireworks. He has a very sweet & calm demeanor and he is a lover and gives lots of kisses. He can walk on a leash but not well. It breaks my heart to rehome him but it is for the best for his safety and his littermate's."<br/><br/>He has been at the GRRAND kennel and this is what our kennel staff says:<br/><br/>"Freddie arrived at our Louisville kennel on 10/24. So far he's doing well, though clearly nervous of all his new surroundings. He is a beautiful Golden/Grt Pyr mix. He is taking treats from the volunteers, and is very calm and gentle. He's not comfortable with us petting him yet, but that trust is getting close!<br/><br/>Freddie is going to make a wonderful furry family member. He will need a secure above ground fenced yard, and a dog savvy, patient owner who is committed to helping Freddie with his adjustments to his new home. He was mostly an outside dog, so his new family will need to have the time and patience to work with him and give him all of the warm and loving comforts of being an inside dog... a warm bed, toys, a family who loves him so much and all the things dogs are meant to have.<br/><br/>We are told he is good with children, but we believe no small kids in his new home as he is a flight risk, at least until he is comfortable and settled."<br/><br/>We are still learning about Freddie and will update this post as we learn more, but if you would like to help Freddie bust out of the kennel and go to a home, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org
