FRED

One rescue dog trying to rescue them all.

Meet Fred, the Chihuahua mix with a Texas background, now strutting his stuff across 62 billboards in Michigan and a printed magazine (yes really)! Rescued from a life on the streets without treats and cozy beds, Fred’s journey went from stray to star at Green Shield Deck Builders.


In a nutshell, Fred, the Green Shield’s four-legged sensation, conquered anxiety and malnourishment by claiming a special spot in his mom's office. Now he's working with pet lovers across Michigan to improve the lives of rescues.
