Sanctuary Sweethearts

Meet Freddie

Remember Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets? They were the two crusty old guys who watched everything from afar and loved heckling anyone in earshot. Well, it turns out they may have had a little Yorkie/Chihuahua mixed dog. There is simply no other explanation for this canine enigma who came to our rescue in the Spring of 2021. Very little is known about his past as he was found in a house with seven other dogs after his owner had passed away. We have decided he will remain with us forever because much like his Muppet Mentors, he has little regard for others, rules, and solitude. Let us introduce you to our Sanctuary Sweetheart…Fat Freddie.

Fat Freddie, now Slightly Less Fat Freddie or just Freddie, since he’s been on a diet, is perpetually perturbed about the lack of cheeseburgers and nuggets in his bowl. We heard him mutter something about going to McDonald’s but not knowing how to drive. Other than mealtimes, Freddie wants nothing to do with people. Sure, he’ll follow them from room to room to make sure they are doing things the right way and occasionally take a treat, but that’s it. No pets, no loves, no snuggles. He’s just not a people person errr dog.

Freddie is not potty trained and thinks you’re ridiculous for even believing he might be someday. If he is kept on a strict schedule then he will go outside, but you can guess what he thinks about schedules. When he does go outside, he lets the entire neighborhood know what he thinks of the weather. Sunny? BARK. Raining? BARK BARK and heaven forbid it be cold and snowy…BARK BARK BARK and yes, I’ll be pooping in the living room later.

Freddie’s one true joy in life is snoozing the day away on the recliner of his foster home. Sure, he snores like a drunken sailor, but we kind of like it. If he is not snoozing in his favorite chair, you can find him barking at kids to “GET OFF MY LAWN!”

Statler and Waldorf may or may not have had a dog, but we do have our very own Freddie. He will permanently stay with the rescue, being loved and cared for, whether he likes it or not. We’d like to say your donations will help keep him happy and healthy until the end, but we will settle for disgruntled and healthy until it’s time for one last car ride.
