Freddie was found wandering the streets alone in Turkey, confused, frightened, and completely shut down. It was clear that life had not been kind to him, and his nervous disposition reflected the hardship he’d endured. Thankfully, he was taken in by our partner rescue Melez and has slowly started his journey to recovery.

Freddie is a gentle, quiet soul. He’s incredibly shy around people, especially strangers, and will take time to trust. But once that bond is formed, he becomes a devoted companion. He finds comfort and reassurance in the company of other dogs, so a friendly, confident resident dog in the home is essential to help guide him and build his confidence.

While Freddie is still learning to walk on a lead, he is improving and gaining more trust each day. His new family will need to be patient, understanding, and experienced with nervous or under-socialised dogs. A stable, quiet environment is key for his continued progress.

Due to his timid nature, Freddie is best suited to an adult-only home. He hasn’t been tested with cats. His adopter must be willing to give him the time and space he needs to adjust and grow into the loving, loyal dog we know he can be.

Freddie is currently in Turkey and ready to travel to the UK or EU. He truly deserves a home where he will feel safe, loved, and supported.

All our dogs are tested prior to travel for Brucella, Leishmaniasis, Anaplasma, Heartworm, and E-Canis. Full test results and signed veterinary certificates are provided to adopters.

Freddie has been through so much and is now patiently waiting for someone to believe in him. Could that be you?
