Theo and Fritz

Meet Theo & Fritz – A Beautiful Bonded Pair

Looking for double the love? Meet Theo and Fritz, two gorgeous boys who have shared their lives together and are looking for a special home where they can continue their journey side by side.

These two have very different personalities, but one thing is certain – they are best friends and need to find a home together.

Theo – The Affectionate Playful One

Age: 6 years

Date of Birth: 22 September 2020

Colour: Black & Tan

Size: – 12kg

Theo is a playful, affectionate boy who absolutely loves his people. He's grown up with children and is very accustomed to family life, including plenty of cuddles, kisses and attention!

He's a real character who loves:

Sunshine naps and chasing bugs in the backyard.

Playing with his best mate Fritz.

Lots of cuddles, kisses and tummy raspberries.

Checking in on his humans while they're working.

Theo is a little more vocal than some dachshunds. He will bark at unfamiliar people, other dogs, the doorbell, deliveries and pretty much any suspicious noise he thinks he hears!

He can be nervous around new people and needs time to warm up outside his family circle. He's also an enthusiastic walker who tends to pull on the lead, so some ongoing lead training would be beneficial.

Theo doesn't particularly enjoy the company of other dogs, cats or pocket pets, and his world revolves very much around his family and Fritz.

He does experience separation anxiety when separated from Fritz, so these two really are a package deal!

Fritz – The Gentle, Shy One

Age: 8 years

Date of Birth: 1 November 2018

Colour: Chocolate

Size: – 8kg

Fritz is a mostly quiet, sweet and slightly nervous little boy who loves the simple things in life.

He's grown up alongside children and is used to a busy family environment with plenty of affection and physical attention.

Fritz enjoys:

Lazing in the sunshine.

Lovely chest scratches.

Playing with his best mate Theo.

Spending time with his favourite humans.

He's a good little walker and doesn't pull on the lead. He may bark at people or dogs from a distance, but once they get closer, he'd much rather quietly avoid them!

Like Theo, Fritz can be nervous around unfamiliar people. He may bark or hide initially and will need patience and time to build trust.

He has a rather funny little quirk – he doesn't approve of people hugging or playing roughly with each other! If he sees it happening, he'll happily let you know until you stop.

And yes, he's also a doorbell, postman and delivery announcement specialist!

What sort of home are they looking for?

Theo and Fritz would love to find:

A home where they can stay together – they are a bonded pair.

A family with older children, ideally 10 years and over, or an adult home.

Someone who works from home, is retired or generally spends more time at home than away.

A patient family who understands that both boys can be nervous around strangers.

A home without other dogs, cats or pocket pets.

A family who will include them in everyday life, with plenty of love, attention and sunshine.

Both boys are toilet trained and sleep inside together on their shared dog bed.

A little note about their health: Given their ages, they may benefit from a veterinary dental check-up and potentially a dental clean.

Double the Dachshund, Double the Love!

Theo and Fritz have spent their lives together, sharing their home, their beds, their adventures and their affection for their humans.

They aren't looking to be separated. They're simply looking for someone who will love them both, understand their little quirks and give them the next chapter they deserve.

Could you be the special home these two best mates are waiting for?

Theo and Fritz are looking for one family, one home and a lifetime of love – together.
