Introducing FBRN’s latest heartthrob: Fred! This dashing 37-pound, six-year-old gentleman is looking for a fresh start after his previous owner’s circumstances shifted—and trust us, he’s ready to charm his way into your heart (and maybe your snack drawer).

Fred might be built like a linebacker, but his vet gave him a clean bill of health with just a suggestion to shave off a few pounds. Those soulful, oversized eyes of his? They’ll have you reaching for treats before you even realize it. When Fred’s not perfecting his “puppy dog eyes,” you’ll find him bouncing between his favorite pastimes: cuddling with his humans, showing his toys who’s boss, and people watching through the window or fence.

He’s still settling into his new foster digs and working on slow introductions with his foster siblings, but his foster family is eager to see this lovable lug’s full personality bloom.
