Meet Fritz – your next best friend, the one blue-eyed wonder! 🌟 This striking white pittie mix is not just a pretty face; he has a heart as expansive as his head! Rescued from the clutches of the euthanasia list at the Memphis Animal Shelter, Fritz was saved just in the nick of time—not for anything he did wrong, but simply due to the need for space. His story could have ended in tragedy, but fate had other plans for this lovable pup! When Fritz found his way into his Memphis foster home, he truly blossomed, becoming the family’s favorite snuggle buddy! Now in his local foster home, this charming canine continues to bring joy and happiness. 💖 You might notice that Fritz is deaf, but let me tell you—this has not slowed him down one bit! This delightful boy is a certified couch potato and an A+ snuggler, always wanting to be close to you without being overly needy. He’d be perfectly content lounging with a bone while you go about your day, although in his dream world, you'd never leave him behind! 🐾 Foster has worked wonders on his separation anxiety. Fritz has learned to free roam the house for hours while his foster mom is away—no accidents, no messes, and definitely no stolen snacks! He often enjoys watching the world go by from the front window, eagerly waiting for his favorite human to return. Although he still experiences a bit of anxiety, he does incredibly well as long as he’s not crated. Now let’s talk about his interactions with other dogs. With slow introductions, he’s a gentle giant! It took him a couple of days to warm up to his foster canine sister, but guess what? They are now the best of pals! Despite being 30 pounds heavier than her, he’s gentle and lets her take the lead during their delightful playtimes. 🥳 Fritz is a total people lover! During his time at the vet, he soaked up all the attention like the superstar he is. While he may bark at first, this is just his charming way of saying, "Hey there! I’d like a little love, please!" ❤️ His leash manners and car riding skills are also improving daily. Although he may get a bit barky at big trucks or unfamiliar faces, he’s learning to stay calm. Fritz truly embodies 80 pounds of love, loyalty, and laid-back charm! He’s on the lookout for a forever home that understands the unique needs of a deaf dog or is ready to learn. What this handsome boy needs is a touch of patience, an abundance of love, and a soft spot for pitties filled with wiggly butts and enormous hearts. Being deaf doesn’t mean difficult; it’s just a different way of loving! With Fritz, you’re guaranteed a delightful companionship full of joy and warmth. Fritz is currently enjoying life in Rhode Island!
