Fritz

Fill out an adoption form

Fritz is now in a local New England foster home!!!!

Adorable Fritz was taken off the Euthanasia list at the Memphis Animal Shelter just in time—it was his day—not because he was a bad dog but because they needed space.  It still happens every day...so sad.

Fritz did wonderfully in his foster home in Memphis. His foster mom absolutely fell in love with him. He loved to put his head on her leg to get her attention and some love.

When he arrived to New England, the trainer at his boarding facility said that he did well in daycare with the other dogs. He liked the small dogs to play with and fun-loving retrievers and seemed to take corrections from both humans and dogs alike.

Fritz is a deaf boy and has learned several commands in short order at his foster home that specializes in deaf puppers. He learned 'sit' in just a few short weeks at his first New England foster home where he was quite beloved before heading to our deaf pup expert.

Fritz is a big snuggler and total couch potato. He wants to be on you, against you and have you in his line of sight, but despite this outpouring of love, he's not clingy - he wants to be with you but is happy chewing on a bone nearby.

Fritz is just a handsome one blue-eyed, low maintenance fella that will truly be a great BFF!!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. Our dogs reside in various locations throughout the South and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
