More About Fritz Gerald

Hello. My name is Fritz Gerald. My foster moms call me Fritzie for short. OK, so let's face the facts. It's not really all that likely that I will ever find a forever home. I'm kind of an old guy (about 12) and I bite people I don't know and sometimes people I do know. It's not the greatest combination. But I have a lot of love in my heart, and DREAM has taken care of me for 3 years. I came to DREAM when my daddy went to daddy heaven. My previous mama just gave me away after that. She got a puppy instead. That hurt my feelings a lot, you know? My foster moms have taken time with me to help me overcome this hurt and now I am a happy boy. I have really come a long way. My foster moms have been very patient with me and I love them for it. They have taken very good care of me and have shown me lots of love. Maybe you could send DREAM a donation to help out with all the money they spend on dogs like me who need help. They have a donation page at www.dreamrescue.org. You can also see one of DREAM's foster mommy's blog about life as a rescuer at www.dreamdachshundrescue.wordpress.com, and follow them on twitter. DREAM is a small group of all volunteers, so we can only consider applications within 1 hour of Atlanta.
