About FritzIn North Carolina

Fritz is a delightful 7-year-old Red Dachshund weighing 30 pounds. Recently surrendered due to his owner's change in circumstances, he's looking for a new home where he can be the energetic companion he is. Fritz has a high energy level and loves to play fetch with plush toys, so daily walks and playtime are essential for him. He’s charmingly snuggly and enjoys being held, often nudging you for attention while he dreams of treats and cuddles. Living arrangements with shared walls, like apartments or townhomes, would suit him well as he tends to be quiet. However, a secure, fenced yard is a must due to his high prey drive; he does not get along with cats or small animals. Fritz is well-adjusted and house trained, loving his crate as a cozy retreat. While he’s bonded closely with his brother Louie, they must be adopted together. Although he hasn’t met many strangers, he’s been friendly with his foster family. This lovable pup is ready to settle into his forever home where he can share his playful spirit. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
