Fred is doing so well and is really getting pumped up for the upcoming adoptathon.   He is just a very special boy.  He is no longer afraid of anything when we take our daily walks.  He is not overly eager to meet new people, but he doesn't turn away from them either.  Meeting new dogs is not a problem.   He is walking so nicely with his harness and has really become a pleasure to take out.  As much as he likes our walks he loves coming home even more and is always ready to run up the driveway to go back inside, so if you're looking for a dog who doesn't need really long extended walks, Fred might be the boy for you.  If you're lucky, he'll be running up your driveway so he can go inside and be a part of your family.  It's really been a joy having him as a foster.

Fred's ready to return to a comfy bed after our walk.   Love this boy!!

Fred is having a wonderful week.  He has adjusted to wearing a harness while we are out walking and is feeling more confident as we see neighbors and new things along the way.  He openly seeks affection several times a day and loves having his ears and tummy rubbed.  You can see from the photos above how incredibly handsome he is.   He will win you over with his sweet disposition and huge heart looking for love.

Fred is slowly coming out of his shell.  He now willingly will stay in the family room around people.  But if it gets too noisy or too many new people are around, he prefers to stay in a quieter location.  He love petting and snuggling.  He has a fabulous appetite and is highly motivated by food.  He will be a shy boy when first meeting people, but with a little time and effort you will see what a wonderful sweet personality lies just underneath the surface.  He gets so excited when his people come home from being away and greets you with his tail wagging, wondering why he didn't get to go along.  Fred will bring joy to his new home - he just needs a little time to adjust and feel comfortable.  He is one handsome greyhound - I hope to add some photos tomorrow.
