From Fritz's current caretaker:

Fritz came as an owner-surrender from a very busy household. He walks great on the leash, likes cats, dogs, kids and strangers. If he gets nervous, he wants to be held. Fritz prefers a home with children and loves to dart around and play fetch. He follows you in the house and steals the cozy spots from other dogs. Fritz is around 22 pounds.

Shake, German shepherd mix

Shake is gentle and plays well with children. He is already neutered and vaccinated. He has mastered his house-training etiquette.

Shake's current caretakers say:

Shake is a smaller, stumpy-legged German Shepherd with a calm but attentive personality. He loves all people, including children and doesn't need to warm up; he is immediately your best friend. Shake would love a home with a yard and children. He is nervous around other dogs. We are currently working with him on this behavior, with success. When no dogs are in sight, he walks with the leash perfectly.
