About Fiddler

Fiddler has been in our care for 28 days, and during this time, we’ve focused on getting him back to good health. He has had various skin issues treated, some growths removed, and he has been neutered. Now, he’s fully vetted and ready for adoption. However, Fiddler has a challenge we can't fix. He cries in his kennel. This 70-pound gentle giant has known the warmth of a home, and life in the shelter is tough on him. He longs for companionship and comfort. It breaks our hearts to see him wait when he clearly misses having a person to call his own. Fiddler is a total sweetheart. He’s affectionate, house-trained, leash-trained, and gets along well with other well-mannered dogs. Away from the chaos of the shelter, he quickly calms down. Capturing his photo is a challenge because he’d much prefer some pets over posing. At around 6-7 years old, Fiddler understands himself; he’s just looking to belong again. He needs a caring adopter soon to help him find that place he’s missing. If you’re ready to give Fiddler a loving home, we need to hear from you. This big guy deserves so much more than what he has right now. Open to meet Fiddler at East Ridge Animal Services, 5302 Stone Street, East Ridge, TN. The adoption fee is $75 and we're open Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM, and the 1st & 3rd Saturday of each month. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
