My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Fonzie was found on the streets of one of Houston's most dangerous dog fighting neighborhoods. He showed extreme signs of abuse. He was very frightened and skittish of people. He would not allow anyone to touch him and would holler and cry by the mere sight of a hand waving near him. He thought he was going to get beaten. He has come a long way and we have shown him that he can trust againl.

He is a bit shy but warms up fast. He is super sweet, loves to cuddle, great on a leash, great with dogs and cats and all people. Most of all Fonzie loves his humans. He is a big cuddle bug and loves to be on your lap if given the opportunity.

Fonzie is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations including rabies and microchipped. Fonzie is Heartworm Positive but has been on the slow kill treatment for over 6 months and should be Negative in another 6 months.

Fonzie is in need of a Foster until he is adopted
