About Fred

Hey, I’m Fred 👋 A Kelpie cross with a big heart and a fresh start. I was found as a stray and rescued from a rural pound — now I’m ready for my second chance. I’m still learning the ropes, but I’m super food-motivated and keen to please, so training is right up my alley. I love dogs and kids, but I can get a bit anxious when left alone, so I’ll need a patient home to help me build confidence. My crate is my safe space, and with a chew or frozen Kong, I settle in well. The good stuff? I’m toilet trained, know “sit,” “wait,” and “come,” and I even wait for my food. I’ve just completed 2 weeks of intensive training and learned heaps — I come with guidance to keep it going. I’m smart, active, and a bit athletic (yep, I can jump), so I’ll need a secure yard. But I’ve also got a soft side — I love a cuddle and think I’m a lap dog. Give me a chance, and I’ll meet you halfway — I just need someone to back me. 💛
