Hello, I'm Freddie

I'm a 6-year-old Labrador Retriever from Burford rehoming centre and I'm looking for my forever home. Please read my profile below to find out more.

About me

Meet the wonderful Freddie - he's a handsome lad who is absolutely full of beans! Freddie does have an old cruciate injury to one of his hind legs. This is now healed, but will need ongoing management in his new home, as he can get stiff after lots of exercise and is also on a special diet to support his mobility.

He is a very playful boy and loves nothing more than carrying his toys around or playing fetch with you. Freddie also loves to swim and will sniff out any puddle, river, or lake that he can have a good splash around in!

He does have some ongoing training needs to be worked on in his new home, such as his recall, learning not to jump up at people he meets, and loose lead walking. When he is in a familiar environment, he settles well and has very good manners in the home. However, he can quickly forget himself in new situations and needs some support when things get a bit overwhelming.

He has experience of being around children but would prefer older children who can join him with his games of fetch and be a part of his daily care. He is social greeter with other dogs on his walks and will want to encourage them to play, but is likely to be too excitable for some dogs. He could potentially live with a well-matched dog who will join him in a game and tolerate his bounciness.

If you think Freddie sounds like a good match for you, please apply now!
