About Fletch

Fletch is all mischief and fun—a true goofball who doesn’t know a stranger. He and his brother were picked up as strays, but Fletch was left behind at the shelter after his brother was adopted out. Facing uncertain odds, Fletch showed an endless, puppy-like spirit and a generous heart for people and dogs alike. Just a year or two old, he throws himself into every play session, and it’s clear he’ll do best with someone who’ll give him structure, exercise, and clear expectations—he’s eager but didn’t get much guidance early on. Fletch charms everyone he meets. He’s playful, loud about his love, and happiest when he’s part of the action. He’s thriving in boarding but would come alive in a foster or permanent home where there’s time for walks, games, and just goofing around. This laughing, silly dog is ready for a fresh start—his person is out there. They just haven’t found each other yet. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
