My story

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

No one loves people more than Fezziwig. Company is his jam. He’ll never turn up his snout to a movie on the couch, a game of fetch, or learning new tricks. And if you take out the brush, you’d better mean it. Seriously, this guy is all about the brushing. All that said, he’s also perfectly fine when left alone. Fezziwig’s foster family describes him as laid back, good mannered, and “the perfect amount of active.” A barker, he is not. You may be asking why anyone would ever give up such a gem of a dog. Sadly his adoptive family had financial issues and couldn’t afford to keep him.

Something to note about Fezziwig—but not be deterred by—is that he has Addison's disease, a lifelong condition that causes his adrenal glands to make an insufficient amount of hormones. It’s well controlled on medication and he can (and does) live a normal life.

Here’s all Fezziwig needs to start anew: an adult-only home where he’s the only dog, with a family who’ll give him all the brushing he can stand. Sound like a good fit? He’s ready when you are.
