-----Fritz is a 13 year old smooth mini dachshund. He was relinquished into the custody of Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue after his owner died in May of 2001. Fritz came to us scared and confused. He is a bit of a "grumpy old man", who is set in his ways. Frit spends the majority of his day sleeping in his doggy bed. Every now and again, he'll get some energy and run out the door with the other dogs to catch a quick barking frenzy before heading back to his bed. Fritz has a level 4 heart murmur, which doesn't affect his health too much at this point, but must be monitored closely, and watched for additional symptoms. Fritz is being fostered by Shelly in Port St. Lucie, FL and will most likely live out the rest of his life there, because of his age and heart condition.

Fritz could use a buddy even though he doesn't have as serious a problem as some of the other dogs. Seniors who have heart issues very often need medication and special food which our foster parents absorb the cost of.  Won't you be a buddy to Fritz?
