Plenty of Pets
Freddy is a Lab/Pitbull mix who loves to snuggle.
He loves being outside and going for walks, and will go to his bed when told. He’s house trained, about two years old and weighs 65 pounds.
He gets along with other dogs, but isn’t used to being around cats.
Freddy is neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped, and he comes with 30-days of free pet insurance, courtesy of 24PetWatch.
If you think Freddy could be the right addition to your family, contact Coastal K9 Rescue through the website or Facebook or email [email protected]
