About Fritz

Meet Mr. Fritz! Fritz came to us via a county animal shelter in North Carolina. He had been a 'community dog' for years, living on the streets with neighbors feeding him (interesting, as it's obvious he was someone's pet at some point as he's socialized and neutered). The person feeding him had called animal control to come pick him up as he had severe diarrhea and had lost significant weight. They thought the animal shelter would euthanize him but once the staff saw Fritz's will to live they just could not do it. Fritz was on a de-wormer for 5 days while at the shelter to kill his internal parasites. We picked him up on 7/15 and fell in love immediately. This little guy definitely has the will to live! We've taken him to the vet for bloodwork and it turns out that Mr. Fritz is nearly blind and diabetic so will need insulin shots twice daily. He may also have some other underlying conditions as his lymph nodes are enlarged but we don't want to put him through too much testing right now as he's only 12 lbs. - 1/2 of what his body weight should be. Through it all, this guy is unbelievably happy! He smiles all the time while he follows us everywhere we go. He loves the outdoors and to snuggle. He eats like a champ and enriches our days exponentially. This little guy needs a quiet home where he can get the love, attention, warmth and full belly he needs for the rest of his days - whether it be weeks, months or years. This guy is one special pup. Contact us today for more information! Note: Fritz will bark at other dogs near him until he realizes he's safe. He would do best around calm dogs or be the only dog in the home. We do have him in male diapers at least for the moment until his insulin levels out but he is not having accidents in his crate when given the opportunity to go potty every 2-3 hours. He's the best and worth every bit of effort!
