About Me
Fitz is a large teddy bear. He loves nothing more than to lay in your arms and cuddle. He is a low drive boy who is a very quick learner. Fitz loves clicker training and playing with other dogs. He is a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to be at your side. Fitz is still a very young dog who was noted to have a gangly gait. The AZ Humane Society xrayed his hips and dyplasia was noted. He does not seem to be in severe pain now, but we have had his hips checked out thoroughly and have decided that since he is currently up for adoption we want to provide him the best opportunity for a good life. We will be proceeding with hip surgery on one hip at a time. We would love it if a family who is interested in adopting this sweet boy would step forward now and be with him thoroughout his surgery and recovery. But if that's not possible, we are intent on getting him the vet care he needs. We expect that he will make an amazing buddy to anyone who needs a furry friend.
