Anita’s Stevens-Swan Humane Society is looking for a very special person with a big heart to help Fred. He is a 14-year-old Plott Hound mix in need of a hospice foster home. Fred came in as a stray and no one came looking for him, which is so sad at his age. Fred is a total sweetheart when it comes to people, but has been selective with making doggy friends. He seems to prefer female dogs. Dog meets are always required. Fred does have some health issues, but the shelter will pay for all of his medical care. He has arthritis and a weak back end. He also has some very bad teeth and will need to return for some dental work in the near future. The shelter is waiting on some additional test results, but for any medical questions call 315-738-4357. Apply here to foster Fred: https://www.anitas-sshs.org/adopt/apply/Dog. Anita’s Stevens-Swan Humane Society, 5664 Horatio St., Utica, 315-738-4357, www.anitas-sshs.org.
