**? Meet Frick — Big Heart, Brindle Beauty!** Born on **May 11, 2024** under an old abandoned barn, Frick came into rescue with his mom and siblings. While many have found their forever homes, Frick is still waiting for his. This sweet boy is around **80 lbs** with a stunning brindle coat and a heart as gentle as a kitten’s. Don’t let his size fool you — Frick is affectionate, eager to learn, and just wants to be by your side. He’s working on leash manners and basic commands, and while he’s energetic, he settles beautifully and loves companionship. He’s also **great with other dogs**, making him a wonderful addition to a multi-pet household. ### ?
