In the shelter’s words

Meet Freya – A Bright, Bouncy Boston Terrier Mix Ready for Adventure! Breed: Terrier mix Sex: Female Approximate date of birth: Late July 2026 Current weight: About 8 lbs (and growing fast!) Energy level: Medium to high Freya is a smart, spunky little girl with a big personality and plenty of enthusiasm for life. She’s growing quickly and learning just as fast! This clever pup already knows how to sit politely for her meals. Hold her bowl up by your chest, and she’ll plant her bottom and wait. Freya is making great progress with house training. She reliably uses a pee pad and is heading outside more and more to do her business, especially after meals. Freya is a fantastic travel companion. She rides beautifully in the car in a doggie booster seat or a crate, so she’s ready to join you on outings. She’s doing well on leash for a young pup and takes nail trims and baths in stride. She has plenty of puppy energy for play, but when she’s finally tuckered out, she’ll happily curl up for some snuggles. She’s not a typical lap dog, but those sleepy cuddles are worth the wait! Freya would thrive with: An active, loving home that’s ready for puppy training and play. Freya gets along well with other dogs and would especially benefit from a confident, friendly dog at least 2 years old who can show her the ropes and help her grow into a well-mannered companion. Care notes: Like many small breed puppies, Freya currently eats 3–4 small meals a day. She uses a slow feeder at mealtimes.

The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
