About Frida

Frida is around a year old, weighing about 12 lbs, and is thought to be a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix, though that's just a best guess. She’s a sweet, careful, and playful little pup who thrives on companionship. Frida loves tagging along with her foster dad, whether it's running errands, going to barbershop appointments, or just riding in a stroller for fun. She enjoys being part of daily routines and is happiest where her people are. She’s house and crate trained for short periods but doesn’t do well when left alone for long stretches; Frida craves company and will not thrive in a home where she’s isolated during the day. Frida gets along beautifully with the two large dogs in her foster home and needs another young, playful dog in her forever family to keep her happy and active. She is friendly with cats, too. Spayed, current on vaccinations, and microchipped, Frida is all set to start her next adventure. Frida is in Chantilly, VA, and ready to find her active, dog-loving home. Fun fact: her birthday makes her a Taurus—known for their steady and loyal nature. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
