Here's what the humans have to say about me:
The very first thing our rescuer noticed about Fritz was his gorgeous eyes in the dim shelter light. She stared at Fritz for a bit and saw all the wonderful possibilities in this very beautiful Australian Shepherd/Bernese Mountain Dog mix. This photo definitely doesn't do this exceptional guy justice! A spa day is in order - underneath the shelter matts and filth is an exceptional Aussie/Bernese mix with!
Fritz immediately made it clear that he's a LOVE! His adorable nose sniffed shyly through the bars at an outstretched hand...and then an ear to ear smile. Fritz was brought out of his cage.. and before you know it, he had his head in our rescuer's lap. He was shy and a bit frightened but was so happy for the hug and sense of safety.
This 18 - 24 month old, 45 lb cutie-pie truly lights up when he feels like he's done a good job... some serious belly rubs and kind words will send him over the moon. Fritz wants to be a people dog...with a bit of post-shelter confidence and love...he will be overjoyed that he's finally found his forever family.
We are searching for a home with a very loving family. Dog-loving and involved kids would be perfect for this very kind pup. We can also envision Fritz with a very active retired couple or individual who want an adorable young dog as a family member and companion. He would be so excited to spend his days in the company of his people. He's quiet and mellow enough to spend some afternoon time snoozing on the couch and then would be so excited to go for a long walk on mountain trails or neighborhood paths...he truly loves being with his people.
Fritz would also be a perfect office dog in a dog-friendly workplace....he would be well behaved and respectful (as long as he can sleep on your feet...great foot warmer) He can have moments of shyness from the turmoil that has been in his life...a guardian who is present and full of good intention can readily get this great guy past any insecure feelings and let him know he is loved and will never be abandoned again.
Fritz will arrive on transport in Boulder on Friday 4/22/16. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If interested in this wonderful companion and best friend, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com or fax to 303-443-7730.
