(est. as of 8/24/25) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Sniggle-Fritz is a sweet playful young lady! She is described as an Aussie/Doodle mix and has a beautiful Chocolate colored coat. She loves to run around and play for an hour or two a day and then is happy to chill with her people. She is said to get along with all adults, children, dogs she lives with and new pups that she meets. She loves to play tug of war, chase and enjoys some bitey mouth play with her pup friends. Sniggle-Fritz is not overly interested in smaller animals, has met cats and was able to be redirected. She does very well in her crate and is used to sleeping there at night. She is still working on perfecting her housetraining but has been keeping her crate clean and has not had any accidents in her foster home. Sniggle-Fritz rides well in a car (in a crate or loose) and walks well on a leash. She is making great progress for a young dog and would benefit from continuing her obedience training. She enjoys a good game of fetch, squeaky toys, meeting new people and cuddling. What an all around great pup she is!! Sniggle-Fritz has lived in a home with a lot of different people coming and going and did very well. She seems like she would be a great addition to any family and this sweet gal is ready to meet her people! Some of her background: She was the last of a litter of puppies to be adopted and was taken in by a household of 3 older ladies who loved her. They unfortunately ended up having some health issues and felt that they could no longer care for her and had no other choice but to surrender her. She did live with them for a while and was fully integrated into the household. She was also described as a perfect houseguest by her interim foster home where she stayed for a couple of days. Sniggle-Fritz is said to know some commands like: “sit, lay & amp; get ready (to go into her crate)”. She also loves to play fetch and knows “go” to get what is thrown, although she still needs a little polish on “give it” but she is super smart and should learn that quickly. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
