Freya’s 665 Day Journey: Waiting for Her Perfect Match
For most pups, finding a family to love is the dream, but for Freya, it’s been a journey—one that’s lasted 665 days so far. This two-year-old staffy mix has called Pet Helpers home since January 2023, and while the shelter has kept her safe, fed, and loved, the truth is that Freya is ready for a family to call her own.
Freya’s story began on the streets. She was found as a stray and brought to Pet Helpers. From day one, her radiant personality won the hearts of the staff and volunteers here, and it’s not hard to see why. With her boundless energy, big staffy smile, and a heart full of love, she is truly the life of the party. Freya is a dog who lives for the moment, especially if that moment includes playtime, tug-of-war (she never loses), and her beloved toys. And if there’s food involved? Watch her shine! Freya’s smarts and love of treats make her quick to learn new tricks—a playful partner for someone willing to show her the ropes.
So, why has Freya been here for so long?
The answer is a mix of circumstances. Freya’s perfect match needs to understand her needs: she’s a high-energy girl who prefers to be the only pet in a home with older kids who appreciate her enthusiasm. And while she may look like a bouncing ball of excitement to visitors passing her kennel, those who know her know there’s so much more to Freya than first impressions reveal.
When you first see Freya in her kennel, you might witness her jumping up and down, barking, and even doing her “parkour” routine off the glass door, eager for attention and the chance to stretch her legs. To a passerby, this can seem overwhelming, but once she’s outside or in a cozy meet-and-greet room, Freya is so much calmer and affectionate. In a quieter setting, her playful energy balances out, and her softer, snuggly side shines. Freya loves nothing more than to cuddle up next to her favorite humans, especially if it means sharing a cozy seat on the sofa or bed.
Watching other dogs come and go, Freya has maintained her joyful spirit, even though the shelter has become the only world she’s truly known. And while she’s happy here, we all know it’s not enough. Freya deserves a life beyond the shelter, where she can feel the stability of a forever home and have someone who truly sees her for the beautiful, playful, and loving companion she is.
For anyone willing to give her the chance, Freya promises loyalty, laughter, and a whole lot of love. She’s proof that a shelter floor walk-through doesn’t tell you everything; her true self shines when she’s given the chance to show it. Could that chance be with you?
Every day, Freya waits for her person to find her. And every day, she hopes that it’ll be her turn to go home.
