A Big-Hearted Boy Ready for His Fresh Start—Fiddle Faddle Awaits His FamilyFiddle Faddle is a 3-year-young, cream-colored Lab mix with warm brown eyes and natural “eyeliner” that makes him instantly unforgettable. He is a big, typical, loving Lab who thrives on human connection. The second you walk up to him, he comes right in to lean against your legs for pets, butt scratches, and all the love you are willing to give. Truly a people-pleaser at heart, he happily soaks up attention and will be absolutely thrilled to celebrate your return home every single day.

This happy boy also happens to have a permanently straight hind leg from an old injury, which gives him a unique, endearing little swagger when he walks. It certainly does not slow him down! He moves great, gets around wonderfully, and genuinely loves going for walks, playing, and running around the yard just like any other dog.

Fiddle Faddle's leg is simply his own personal quirk—it bothers potential adopters on paper much more than it actually bothers him in real life! Because the leg stays straight, he just prefers to skip any direct handling on that specific limb and appreciates a family that lets him rise and stretch at his own relaxed pace. He will do best with any patient, attentive household looking for a resilient, deeply loyal companion. Come meet Fiddle Faddle today and see firsthand just how much love this sweet boy has to give.

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!
