Fredrick Needs a Foster or Adopter to Secure His Ride North

Fredrick is currently in the Arkansas kill shelter system and is available to come to Wisconsin on
our 2/14/26 transport. To make that transport, Fred must have a foster or adopter commitment in
place. Without one, he won’t be able to take his spot on the transport.

Meet Fredrick (Fred)

Fredrick is a 2-year-old, approximately 45-pound Basset Hound/Beagle mix (best guess) with a
short, sturdy build and classic low-rider legs. He has done very well in a foster home and is
ready for his next placement.

Fred is friendly, people-oriented, and enjoys being indoors, especially when it means attention
and a comfortable environment. He loves spending time with his people and has even enjoyed
playing outside in the snow with his foster sibling.

He is potty trained and crate trained, and while he is still working on leash manners, he
continues to make steady progress. Fred does well with other dogs and is especially good with
kids. Though his photos don’t always show it, he is on the shorter side with a solid, compact
build.

Fred recently finished his heartworm treatment and is now ready to travel. He is neutered and
cleared to come north with a foster or adopter who will give him the loving home he deserves.

Age: Approximately 2 years
Gender: Male (Neutered)
Weight: Approximately 45 lbs
Breed: Basset Hound / Beagle mix (best guess)
Potty Trained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes
Leash Manners: Working on it
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Unknown
Good with Kids: Yes

Fred is ready for a fresh start and needs a foster or adopter commitment to secure his spot on
the 2/14/26 transport.

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out an adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.

2.) Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.

3.) Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: After approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.

4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process, we conduct a home visit either in person or via Zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI, or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.

**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
