More Information:

FRITZY is ... what can we say?  A darn near perfect dog!  He loves people, is great with other dogs, ignores the cats, is great with kids, is housetrained, is mellow, is well-behaved in the house.  Wow!

As his foster mom wrote after just two days, "Have I told you how much I looooooove this boy?"

Fritzy is a stunningly handsome red-and-black coated (long-coat) German Shepherd.  His owner was arrested while out walking Fritz - and Fritz went to doggie jail where we got him in the nick of time.  

Fritz is very skinny and we're working to put some meat on his bones (hard to tell in the pictures because of his long coat).  He weighed only 59 pounds when we got him - and he should probably weigh 90 lbs!  He's going to be a big boy when he gets some weight on.

The only thing his forever family needs to do:  brush, brush, brush him!  As a longcoat GSD, he sheds like crazy.  But the upside is the stunning dog you'll have as you keep him groomed and brushed.  He will require weekly brushings at minimum.

If you're looking for one terrific German Shepherd,
mellow and great with everyone,
FRITZY MAY BE THE DOG OF YOUR DREAMS!

1. We're picky about our adopters. 
2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
   
3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
   
5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
   
6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
