Frederick is 8 years old. He came into the shelter as a stray in September. He had some skin issues due to fleas, but is improving now that he has received flea treatment. He had a gentle demeanor and a heart full of affection.

He was recently adopted into his forever home. Here is an update from his new owner:

“We have given him a new name, Buddy. He seems to be very happy at his new home. He has his own fenced-in backyard to explore in and has his pick to go wherever he wants inside the house. He loves to sleep on my bed with me. Loves to look out the windows during the day.

“I promise to give Buddy a wonderful life for as long as he decides to stick around.”
