A Tender Soul With a Big Heart—Fiddle Faddle Awaits His Family

Fiddle Faddle is a 3-year-young, cream-colored Lab mix whose soft brown eyes and natural “eyeliner” make him instantly unforgettable. This gentle giant recently arrived at APA! and is still settling in, taking the world at a quiet, thoughtful pace—especially while he continues to heal from an old leg injury. He bears weight on the “peg” leg but walks slowly and sometimes needs a little extra time getting up.

Spend a little time with him, and you’ll see the magic: a sweet and tender-hearted dog who just wants to feel safe and loved. Staff and volunteers describe him as a “gentle giant” and a “sweet man,” and he’s already showing wonderful manners. He appears both crate trained and house trained, and once he’s settled comfortably, he rides beautifully in the car.

Fiddle Faddle is the kind of dog who will blossom with patient humans and a calm home where he can feel understood and cared for. If you're looking for a soft, soulful companion who will adore you quietly and deeply, this beautiful boy may be your perfect match.

Come meet him—and let him melt your heart.

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!
