About Fry

Fry is a 10-month-old pug mix with a signature pout that captures attention right away. He arrived at the shelter alongside his sister, Leela, both overwhelmed by all the changes. It’s been a big adjustment for Fry; he experienced his first leash walks here, and now he’s turning into quite an adept little explorer, eager to take gentle strolls packed with long sniffing sessions. Fry’s nerves are giving way to playfulness and curiosity. His confidence grows daily, especially around other dogs—he truly seems to thrive when he has a canine companion to follow and learn from. Because of this, Fry needs to go to a home with another dog. Having a four-legged friend, whether his sister or another friendly pup, helps Fry feel safer and more relaxed. He still needs a bit of patience when meeting new people, but treats and gentle encouragement help build trust. Don’t be surprised if it takes a couple of visits before Fry warms up enough to be ready for adoption. He’s worth every minute of patience. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
