From our friends at Alaqua Animal Refuge:

“Fred arrived at Alaqua Animal Refuge in a very unceremonious fashion. He was simply tossed over the fence; discarded like a piece of unwanted refuse. For years he’s watched his friends go off to their forever homes, and in all that time he hasn’t given up hope that his special someone will be coming along to pick him up any day. A handsome Husky/Labrador mix, Fred is one of the sweetest dogs at the sanctuary and is a huge hit with all volunteers. He plays best with female dogs his size or smaller, and is awesome on a leash. As much as we all love Fred here at Alaqua, our fondest wish is for him to find a true home of his own. Please think about becoming Fred’s forever friend. He will brighten your life just as he has ours, and he will bring joy to your heart.”
