Story
(DOB 12/16/2023) Fezz, also known as Fezzi or, if you’re feeling fancy, Fezziwig (yes, named after Scrooge’s boss, but don’t worry, Fezz is nothing like a Scrooge!). This adorable boy is looking for an amazing place to call home where he can live his very best life ever full of love, comfort, and companionship.
Fezzi is a total love bug with a happy, wiggly body that tells you exactly how excited he is to see you. He’s gentle, sweet, loyal, and wonderfully snuggly, especially when it’s time to curl up on the couch with his people. He adores attention, pets, and belly rubs, and his calm, submissive, and sensitive nature makes him a joy to have around. While he enjoys playtime, he’s also perfectly content being a bit of a couch potato, balancing fun and relaxation beautifully.
This social butterfly gets along great with people, other dogs, and kids and loves making new friends. He enjoys playing with his foster dog pals, chasing squirrels, and zooming after tennis balls — he’s even working on bringing them back! Fezzi is polite and shares his toys nicely, enjoying squeakers, chew toys, and stuffed toys alike. He’s smart, food-motivated, eager to please, and easily redirected, with solid recall and continued progress on his basic commands. He has not had an opporunity to meet cats but he does love to chase squirrels so there is that.
Fezzi is crate trained but prefers the finer things in life like snoozing on a chair or sofa during his afternoon siesta and overnight. He’s mostly quiet, rides wonderfully in the car, and would be over the moon to join you on errands, adventures, or outings whenever possible. He truly shines as an all-day, everyday companion.
Because Fezzi is a sensitive soul, he does best in a kind-hearted, quieter home and is not a fan of loud voices/screaming or lots of chaos. A home with older kids or a more relaxed environment would be ideal. He would love a fenced yard (4’+), another playful dog (he loves his furry foster brothers and sisters!!), and a human who absolutely adores him but those aren’t deal breakers. Another dog friend is preferred, but with the right lifestyle; things like doggie daycare, playdates with friends’ pups, and plenty of social time Fezzi would be just as happy. (We do not encourage open dog parks.) With a dedicated adopter who commits to daily walks, regular playtime, outings, and continued potty-training consistency, Fezzi could also thrive in a condo, apartment, or townhome.
If you’re ready to welcome a sweet, loyal, gentle companion who will brighten your days and warm your couch, Fezzi is ready to steal your heart!
As part of Fezz’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet pup, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Fezz, you can complete an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org.
