They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Meet Frito, your potential adventure buddy with a heart full of goofiness and resilience. Frito is a two-year-old medium-sized pit bull terrier/boxer mix who’s overcome the odds—from nearly losing his chance at life to thriving in foster care, beaming with confidence and a signature floppy tongue. He wakes each morning ready to move, bringing unmatched enthusiasm for daily walks, running several miles, and endless games of fetch—he never fails to have a ball on hand for the next round. Playful and energetic by nature, he’ll sploot at a moment’s notice and, once he trusts you, transform himself into a cuddly companion glued to your lap. Frito is both brave and sensitive. He can act mouthy when overstimulated or with unfamiliar people, and due to discomfort with hands reaching over his head or back, he responds best to slow, gentle introductions. He tends to open up faster to women, but quickly becomes affectionate with men given patience. Because he’s never lived with children and can be reactive or mouthy, a home without kids is essential. Socially, Frito is selective with dogs. He is most comfortable around smaller, gentle females and doesn’t get along with larger males—but has shown he can thrive with the right canine companion if careful introductions are made under experienced guidance. He’s continued working on paw handling, leash reactivity (particularly when he spots squirrels), impulse control around doorways, separation anxiety (which improves with structure), and toy guarding—which has already come a long way under his foster’s loving support. Frito truly embodies resilience—he’s expressive, loyal, silly, athletic, and deeply affectionate once he bonds with you. His foster shares, "He's an overall great guy, and I'll be bummed when we don't get to hang out every day." He is searching for an experienced, active, and patient adopter ready to celebrate progress and provide guidance. With Frito, you’ll gain a one-of-a-kind adventure companion with a sunny Aries spirit—born in early April, he’s energetic and ready for bold new journeys! Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
