Fritz
Double Dapple Dachshund
Fostered in Sanford
3 years old
17 pounds
Short list: Friendly, velcro dog, Good with kids over 8, limited sight, limited hearing, gets along with dogs, working on housetraining, cannot do stairs, no apartments, on slow kill treatment for heartworms
Fritz is one of the happiest, most affectionate little guys we’ve ever met. Found wandering in eastern NC, this special double dapple boy hasn’t let his rough start—or his disabilities—dim his joy for life.
Because he’s a double dapple, Fritz has limited vision and hearing, which just means he experiences the world a little differently… and bonds very deeply with his people. He doesn’t just follow you — he super-glues himself to you. If he can’t find you, he’ll bark to let you know (which is why apartments and condos won’t work). Once reunited, he’ll immediately melt into your lap and fall asleep.
Cold nights? Loneliness? Not in 2025.
Fritz sleeps through the night, loves the big bed, and is an A+ snuggle partner who never steals the covers.
Despite his vision challenges, Fritz enjoys walks, plays with other dogs, and has even discovered toys. He’ll need a stair-free home (or one where stairs can be blocked off and he can be carried), and a laid-back dog pack that’s welcoming and gentle.
Potty training is a work in progress — he does well on a schedule and uses both outside time and pee pads. Pro tip: if Fritz barks “out of nowhere,” he’s probably politely asking to go potty.
Fritz is neutered and has had a dental cleaning. He’s UTD, microchipped, and had bloodwork. Because he is heartworm positive, we have started him on the slowkill treatment for heartworms and the rescue will pay for it until he tests negative.
Fritz is looking for a homebody or work-from-home family who wants a loyal companion, understands his special needs, and is ready to start the New Year with a dog who will love them with his whole heart.
Make 2025 the year you find your shadow, your snuggle buddy, and your best friend. Fritz is ready for his new life!
