Story
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org   Hello, My name is Fritz. I am looking for my best buddy or greatest gal pal.  I am potty trained and I will tell you when I need to go out. I am good with other fur friends, and humans but I am shy at first. However, when I open up you'll meet the goofiest goofball. I prefer to sleep in my own bed. I love the outside. Walks? Yes. Run in the yard? Yes. Play outside? Always yes. I love to be where you are. Cooking, cleaning, chores, watching tv, I want to be there too.    *DM me if you'd like to meet up.  Fritz.       (LMAO)   Notes that Fritz didn't mention in his bio.... he was abandoned by his previous owners. So please be ready to commit to his sweet fluffy face for another 15 years.  Also since joining us while waiting for his new forever family has been vaccinated and neutered.  He's cute and he knows it but we don't need any lil Fritzs!  Oh, he also has a microchip but he's really hoping he never needs to use it!  He would adore a fenced yard so he can hang out in the out and run around but if you wanted to go for walks and stuff he would be cool with that too.  His adoption fee is $300.00 If Fritz looks like someone you would want to swipe right for make sure to submit that app! January 10, 2026, 10:02 pm
