FREJA
I'm a sweet girl who loves human attention and do not wish to share that attention with other dogs or cats. I like to go for walks, get all the treats for myself, roll in the green grass and get all the butt scratches. My muzzle may be graying and my eyes may not be as young anymore but I have lots of love in my heart to give and plenty of sniffs left for my next adventure. If there are children that live with you or visit, I'd like them to be 13+ years and meet them prior to adoption. I would do best in a country setting with 1-2 adult humans that will love me through my golden years. FMI visit: midcoasthumane.org

I'm a sweet girl to the humans in my life, and if you have a good ball throwing arm, we could be the best of friends! I love to chase a tennis ball or really any type of ball and will sometimes even bring it back to you. I do like a comfy couch, humans that will cover me with a blanket when it's time to sleep, excellent walking paths and the freedom to be my goofy self. I would like to be the only pet in my new home so I get all the treats, love, attention, balls and chew bones to myself. I do best with adult or teen humans and should wear a snug harness when out walking. FMI visit: midcoasthumane.org
