A Big-Hearted Boy Ready for His Fresh Start—Fiddle Faddle Awaits His Family

Fiddle Faddle is a 3-year-young, cream-colored Lab mix with warm brown eyes and natural “eyeliner” that make him instantly unforgettable. He’s friendly with people and always excited to see his human friends—especially when it means hugs and plenty of affection. He truly enjoys being around his people and happily soaks up attention.

Fiddle Faddle has an old injury that left him with a permanently straight hind leg. It doesn’t bend, so he swings it slightly when he walks—but it doesn’t slow him down. He gets around well and loves going for walks, playing, and even running around the yard. His leg is sensitive, so he does not like it to be touched, and it’s important to be mindful not to bump or step on it. Sometimes he needs a moment to get up, so he should never be rushed or pulled—just give him a little time to rise comfortably on his own.

Fiddle Faddle will do best with patient, attentive adopters who understand his physical needs and are happy to give him the time and space he needs to feel comfortable. In return, you’ll get an affectionate, loyal companion who will be thrilled to see you every single day.

Come meet Fiddle Faddle and see if he’s the perfect fit for your home.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
