About Fetch

Fetch has a knack for making every day interesting. He’s the dog that accidentally hitched a ride to the shelter after his enthusiasm for squirrel-chasing kicked into overdrive—he’s smart, lively, and has a way of finding adventure wherever he goes. Fetch thrives in an environment where he gets to burn energy: long walks, hikes, or joining someone on their daily run would be right up his alley. He gets along well with people and really enjoys the company of other dogs, especially those who appreciate a good play session. He’s already house trained and crate trained. When things get overwhelming or he’s needing a break, you’ll find him curled up on his own in his crate. Afterwards, he’s happy to relax with you on the couch. If your home needs a bit more action and you want a fun, active companion, Fetch could fit right in. As a Taurus (born April 24), he’s got a loyal, clever streak under all that energy.
