German Shepherd Chow Rehoming Success Story – Fozzie

Loveable Fozzie Found His Forever Home in San Francisco

Fozzie needed a new home in San Francisco, and our pet rehoming team was contacted to help him find it. It took a few weeks, but with our help, Fozzie was placed with a loving family where he is now the center of attention. Congratulations on your new home, Fozzie!

Here’s how we presented Fozzie in our adoption outreach:

Hi, My name is Fozzie!

Meet Fozzie Bear! This big, beautiful, behaved, brown mutt is looking for a loving new home. Fozzie loves the outdoors, loves to run and go for walks, and is sure to stop anyone on the street with compliments of his incredible, unique look with a constant “Man, that’s a good lookin’ dog!” Fozzie also loves to lie around and hang out with his people!

Fozzie is approximately 5 years old, 75lbs, fixed, and has always been healthy and up to date on all of his shots. He walks well on leash, is completely crate trained, and knows basic obedience commands, such as sit, down, gentle, and stay.

His owners say:

Needing to rehome Fozzie is one of the hardest decisions of our lives. He is a wonderful dog, but he needs to find a new family without small children (we have a 9 month old) or other pets.

Fozzie’s perfect new home will be with a family with well-behaved older children, a single or couple. He is best placed in a home where he will be the only pet. He needs a loving family that will give him plenty of attention and exercise, and who will consider him a first hand family member.

Fozzie’s Current Home Environment

Two dogs and a small child – too much chaos for Fozzie.

Fozzie’s Current Family:

My wife and I have had Fozzie since we rescued him as a puppy. He is a great dog for a couple without small children or other pets. But we have added another puppy and a daughter to our family and he has not adjusted well.

Fozzie’s Favorite Toys, Foods, Activities?

He loves to go for walks, runs, play tug, look at squirrels, and just sleep at your feet. He is not super food motivated, but does love treats of all kinds and table scraps. He is not a digger or a chewer.

Cute Fozzie Story:

Fozzie is very attuned to our emotional state – and one time my wife came home very upset due to some personal issues and Fozzie just stayed close, got up on the couch next to her, and put his head in her lap as the sweetest and most supportive he could be.

Why is Fozzie Being Rehomed?

Fozzie needs a home with less chaos – no small children and no other pets. He can be a little dog aggressive as he was attacked a couple of times as a puppy. We also had a very unfortunate incident with our 10 month old daughter where she went after his ball and Fozzie went and tried to gently “correct” her like a puppy, which ended up with a cut on her head. She’s totally fine, and we don’t think it would happen again, but I can’t take the risk that Fozzie might make another mistake as my daughter grows up.

Fozzie’s Perfect Adoptive Home Will Be:

A caring, stable home without small children or other pets that can love this dog as much as he will love them.

Additional Comments:

We would be open to stay in touch if his new owners were amenable. If they would prefer not to do that, then we are most concerned with finding him a new, loving, forever home.
