A Heartwarming Story of Resilience
Freckles was originally adopted from Mostly Mutts in 2009, but sadly, after all these years, she was found abandoned in a rough neighborhood, tied to a tree in poor condition. Thanks to animal control and the caring team at Mostly Mutts, she has been nursed back to better health. Now, she is in a loving foster home, waiting for an angel to provide her with a peaceful and loving home for her remaining time.
What Freckles Needs in a Home
Freckles would thrive in a calm, caring home with someone who has experience caring for senior dogs. She gets along well with other gentle dogs, enjoys the company of kind-hearted teens, and is looking for a family that will give her plenty of love and attention. Due to her age, a home with no very young children is best, as she needs a safe, quiet environment.
Personality & Energy Level
Freckles is a sweet, calm, and gentle soul who loves being around people. She softly nudges her foster family for attention, enjoys gentle pets, and is truly a pleasure to have around. She moves slowly due to her limited eyesight and hearing, but she has adjusted well to her foster home. Her energy level is low (1-3 on a scale), and she loves peaceful walks and cozy naps.
Training & Potty Habits
- Crate Training: Not crated in her foster home but has favorite spots to relax.
- Potty Training: Due to kidney issues, she needs frequent potty breaks. She will let her person know when she has to go, but if missed, she may have an accident. She also does fairly well with potty pads.
Likes & Dislikes
✅ Loves: Being petted, eating, gentle affection, and boiled carrots (not canned!).
❌ Dislikes: Being picked up due to sensitive lumps and bumps.
Medical Considerations
Freckles is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. At her advanced age, she has some medical challenges, including:
- Mostly blind and hard of hearing
- Kidney issues (eats Science Diet KD food)
- Lumps and bumps
- Dental issues
- A curled nail that cannot be fixed due to her inability to go under anesthesia
She is on medication to keep her comfortable, and her future family will need to continue managing her care with love and patience.
Freckles Deserves a Peaceful Retirement
This gentle senior girl has been through so much and deserves to spend her golden days in a loving hospice home. She will reward her forever family with endless gratitude, soft snuggles, and the purest kind of love.
