Sweet Fritz has been waiting far too long for his chance, and we are determined that one way or another, this boy is getting out! Fritz's journey with us started 6 months ago when we first met him. While other dogs eventually moved on to new lives, Fritz had obstacles to overcome before he could follow. Before arriving at the shelter, Fritz lived a heartbreaking life. He spent his days chained outside with a collar that had become so deeply embedded in his neck that the skin had literally begun growing around it. The wound required extensive healing, and for months Fritz patiently waited while receiving the care he needed. Through it all, Fritz never stopped being the sweetest, happiest boy. While other dogs came and went, Fritz waited. He watched others leave for homes while he stayed behind and healed. Through it all, Fritz remained hopeful, greeting everyone with a wagging tail and that unforgettable smile. But now, at long last, Fritz has completely healed and is finally ready for the life he deserves.
Ideal Home
Fritz is incredibly friendly, loves people, and greets everyone with kisses, cuddles, and the biggest smile you've ever seen. He has tested wonderfully with several dogs at the shelter and enjoys canine companionship. As always, dogs in the home should be introduced properly. Cats are an unknown.
Ongoing Health
Fritz has completely healed from his past injuries and is fully vetted and neutered.
Training & Support
Fritz is crate trained, fully housetrained, and all he needs now is a forever home! He is eager to please so we believe that if someone has the teaching talent, he could do some really cool tricks. He already knows "sit" and comes when called. He's a smart boy who wants to learn and be part of a family.
