Fritz

About Fritz

Fritz is a giant bundle of love and affection for his people, and when he trusts you, he'll make you feel like you're the centre of his entire world. At 60kg, he's certainly a big boy, but underneath all that size is a dog who is still finding his feet in the world! Fritz has lived a very sheltered life and can be quite unsure of unfamiliar situations and the world around him. He will need a patient, understanding handler with experience in nervous dogs, ideally someone familiar with Shepherd breeds, who can help build his confidence and introduce him to new experiences in a positive and supportive way, always at his own pace. Fritz is still learning how to navigate social interactions with other dogs. Although he has lived with another dog previously, he doesn't always know how to interact appropriately, so any potential dog-to-dog match would need to be carefully considered and very well suited to his needs. A home where he can be given the time and space to settle and build confidence will be important. He has no known history living with cats, though didn't present poorly in proximity to shelter cats. Despite his impressive size, Fritz is said to be housetrained and walks relatively well on lead, which is no small achievement for a 60kg companion! Fritz is on a joint specific diet to aid his hips and joints through life and will need to continue this in his forever home. Fritz is patiently waiting for someone who can see past his uncertainties, give him the guidance and reassurance he needs, and in return enjoy the enormous amount of love and devotion he has to offer. Could you be that special person?
