So every now and then someone will ask me whered Freeway get his name from. Well now I can spare the hand strain or energy to tell over and over, the story of one of the luckiest dogs in the world. And no Im not being the typical cocky owner. He was just a lucky guy.
Freeway was found on an I-80 off ramp in Sacramento, CA (not sure the exact ramp) one cold, rainy night. His legs were broken from being struck by a car (so he looked more like he was wearing pants vs having normal dog legs), he had a busted eardrum, and was suffering from mange.
His rescuer rushed him to a vet where she treated him in hopes to keep him. Unfortunately, Freeway didnt get along with her cats. Since the cats were there first, Freeway was surrendered to Nevada County animal shelter. He was old, had lost fur (and it never grew back), and the shelter wasnt filling up any slower. Seven times he was put on the list to be euthanized, seven times he charmed his way away from death. Finally, a private samoyed rescue in Redding, CA came to his rescue. He became the second longest resident there.
On one lucky day, Freeway and Prince (a husky x samoyed that pretty much grew up at the rescue and was the longest resident) were adopted on the same day. The greatest day of the shelter.
so now you know. The dog that charmed his way away from death and into the hearts of many. The one that taught us to never give up.
Heres to you - the most optimistic, charming dog ever.
