Meet Fletcher! Fletcher’s story started in one of the last places any dog should call home: a dumpster site in Alabama, where he was found painfully skinny, starving, and suffering from an eye infection. Despite everything he had been through, Fletcher greeted his rescuers with a gentle spirit that never gave up on people. Now safe and receiving the care he deserves, Fletcher is showing everyone what a truly sweet boy he is. He has a kind heart, a loving nature, and a quiet resilience that makes you root for him from the moment you meet him. His past may have been filled with hardship, but Fletcher is ready for a future of full bowls, cozy naps, and a family that will never let him wonder where his next meal, or his next hug, is coming from. All he needs is someone willing to give him the happy ending he’s been waiting for. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.

🧠 Temperament
Despite everything he had been through, Fletcher greeted his rescuers with a gentle spirit that never gave up on people. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
