Fred and Handlers John and Roxanne Jensen

Regional Area: North Central

Breed: Golden Retriever

Famous for his friendliness, Fred finds that helping others makes his days truly GOLDEN!

He and his dedicated parents currently visit Assisted Living and Memory Care facilities, making the days of the people there truly GOLDEN as well.

According to his doting dad, Fred particularly enjoys visiting Memory Care. Why? That’s an easy one: Fred LOVES the attention he receives from everyone he meets.

When he’s happily at home, Fred loves doing alligator rolls in the grass. He also loves stealing his parents’ slippers and shoes and walking around with them in his mouth, and climbing onto his mom’s lap for a cuddle. Famously fashion forward, Fred even enjoys donning a dramatic red headpiece with a matching fringed “collar” and a more formal tuxedo top and posing for photos!

But what pleases Fred most and makes him especially excited is when his parents put on their “therapy shirts” because he knows it’s time to “go to work.”
