About Fraiser

Fraiser showed up in a local shelter after spending weeks outdoors on his own, unable to be reunited with his previous family. He’s settled in well with his foster at WSRH, decompressing and learning to relax indoors. Fraiser is a loyal little dog who tries hard to please, and once he’s comfortable, you’ll find he quietly craves affection and the softest spot on a dog bed. Initially, Fraiser can be a bit stubborn and hand-shy—he’ll need a little time and patience before trusting new people. He is especially anxious during storms, likely because of time spent outside on his own, and finds comfort in a thundershirt and having a calm human by his side until the skies clear. Fraiser is house-training in progress, and he does best with gentle, calm dogs who respect his space; the chaos of young children is not a good fit for him. He’s been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. If you’re looking for a dog who just wants a peaceful life and an understanding home, Fraiser could be a great match. What are you waiting for?
