About Fritz

Meet Fritz! Don’t let those short legs fool you—this little Jack Russell Terrier packs the confidence of a dog ten times his size. At just 6 months old and under 10 pounds, Fritz thinks he’s the big man on campus, and his larger canine friends usually agree. He’s a joyful, energetic pup who adores kids and loves having furry playmates around for wrestling, chasing, and endless fun. Fritz thrives in an active home where a playful canine companion can keep up with his boundless energy. After a lively play session, he settles nicely into his crate at bedtime. He’s still working on his house manners and has a tendency to mark blankets—likely a result of living in a busy foster environment. With time and patience in his forever home, we believe he'll make great strides. While leash walking isn’t exactly his favorite, Fritz would much rather explore and play in a securely fenced yard. His adventurous spirit and high energy mean a safe outdoor space is essential. Fritz is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, ready to find an active family that will appreciate his spunky personality and keep him happily entertained. If you're looking for a pint-sized pup with a huge heart, Fritz is ready to be your new adventure buddy!
