Fritz

Mixed Breed · Male

Description Our animal protectors report: On their daily trip to feed the street dogs at specific collection points, Paula had to brake unexpectedly. A small dog was sitting in the middle of the road, a pitiful heap, yet unaffected by the approaching car, as if he knew that his rescue was coming now. A resident approached Paula and reported that the small four-legged dog was named Fritz and belonged to a neighbor who had died some time ago. Since then, the small Fritz had been living on the street and was fed and given water, but no one wanted to give him a place in their house. So Paula took him to her shelter, where Fritz has to share his place in Paula's house with many other dogs. He quickly adjusted, is rather quiet, and is friendly with his companions and cats. There is a very energetic dog in the group that he doesn't like. In general, he maintains a social relationship with all the dogs and never pushes himself forward. Fritz's eyesight is no longer complete, but this does not bother him. With his charming underbite, he melts hearts. It looks like he is smiling, and you simply laugh along with him and want to preserve this moment forever. When his teeth flash, some tartar becomes visible. This should be checked and removed by a veterinarian in his future forever home. Due to the constant financial difficulties in the shelter, this is not affordable for Paula. Fritz wishes for people who give him warmth, security, and a sense of belonging. He wants to finally arrive and be appreciated, have a cozy basket, and a filled bowl every day. He is an easygoing dog, asks for nothing, but will return a thousandfold what he receives from his humans. Who falls in love with the small charmer? He has already packed his suitcase for the journey to happiness and is waiting to finally be able to get into the transporter. Please note: The responses from the animal shelters reflect the current behavior of the animals here at the shelter.

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Auf ihrer täglichen Fahrt zur Versorgung der Straßenhunde an bestimmten Sammelplätzen musste Paula unerwartet bremsen. Mitten auf der Straße saß ein kleiner Hund, ein Häufchen Elend, jedoch unbeeindruckt vom herannahenden Auto, als wüsste er, dass jetzt seine Rettung kam. Eine Anwohnerin ging auf Paula zu und berichtete, dass der kleine Vierbeiner Fritz hieß und einem Nachbarn gehörte, der vor längerer Zeit verstorben war. Seitdem lebte der kleine Fritz auf der Straße und wurde zwar mit Futter und Wasser versorgt, aber niemand wollte ihm einen Platz in seinem Haus geben. Also nahm Paula ihn mit in ihre Auffangstation, in der sich Fritz seinen Platz in Paulas Haus mit vielen anderen Hunden teilen muss. Er lebte sich schnell ein, verhält sich eher ruhig und ist freundlich im Umgang mit Artgenossen und Katzen. Es gibt in der Gruppe einen sehr energiegeladenen Hund, den er nicht mag. Grundsätzlich pflegt er einen sozialen Umgang mit allen Hunden und drängt sich nie in den Vordergrund.Fritz‘ Sehkraft ist nicht mehr vollständig vorhanden, aber das beeinträchtigt ihn nicht. Mit seinem charmanten Unterbiss bringt er Herzen zum Schmelzen. Es sieht aus, als würde er lachen, und man lacht einfach mit ihm mit und möchte diesen Moment für immer festhalten. Beim Hervorblitzen der Zähne wird etwas Zahnstein sichtbar. Das sollte im zukünftigen Für-immer-Zuhause tierärztlich kontrolliert und beseitigt werden lassen. Aufgrund der ständigen finanziellen Not in der Auffangstation ist das für Paula nicht leistbar. Fritz wünscht sich Menschen, die ihm Wärme, Sicherheit und Geborgenheit geben. Er möchte endlich ankommen und geschätzt werden, ein kuscheliges Körbchen und täglich einen gefüllten Napf haben. Er ist ein genügsamer Hund, fordert nichts, wird aber tausendfach zurückgeben, was er von seinen Menschen bekommt. Wer verliebt sich in den kleinen Charmeur? Er hat sein Köfferchen für die Reise ins Glück schon gepackt und wartet darauf, endlich auch in den Transporter einsteigen zu dürfen.

About Fritz

What life with Fritz looks like

Fritz is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Fritz, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fritz?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fritz on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fritz if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierischgeholfen e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Fritz already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Fritz isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierischgeholfen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fritz and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
