Freddo's Story

Freddo is a big-hearted boy who loves being part of the family and will happily spend his days by your side. With his sweet nature and affectionate personality, he's the kind of dog who forms strong bonds with his people and wants to be involved in whatever you're doing.


One of Freddo's favourite things in life is cuddles. He's always ready for a hug and enjoys soaking up affection, but he's also surprisingly respectful and seems to know when it's time to give you a little space. Around the home, Freddo settles well and enjoys a calm environment where he can relax in between adventures.


Freddo would thrive in a home with both indoor and outdoor access, allowing him to enjoy the best of both worlds. He has a healthy appetite, loves his meals, and brings enthusiasm to everything he does. While he can be relaxed at home, he's also a strong and energetic dog with a playful side. Regular zoomies are part of his daily routine, and watching him race around in pure joy is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.


This clever boy already knows several cues, including "sit," "leave it," and "stay." He's eager to learn, but like any dog, he'll benefit from continued practice and consistency to keep building on these skills.


Due to his strength and enthusiasm, Freddo is looking for an owner who is committed to ongoing lead training and can confidently manage him on walks. With guidance, patience, and positive reinforcement, he has all the makings of a wonderful canine companion.


If you're searching for a loving, affectionate dog who wants nothing more than to be near his people, Freddo could be the perfect addition to your family. His combination of loyalty, affection, and playful energy makes him an excellent companion for a home ready to include him in everyday life


Must meet all household members including any resident doggies ensure all are happy with the match!

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
