About Frodo

Meet Frodo, a handsome Hound looking for his forever home. This charming boy arrived at the shelter on September 15, 2026, as a stray, but sadly, no one came to claim him. Now he’s patiently awaiting his very own "gotcha day." At around 2 years old, Frodo is up to date on his vaccinations and adapting well to shelter life. He walks nicely on a leash and has a gentle demeanor, making him a delight to be around. Although he came in a bit skinny, Frodo is steadily gaining weight and is expected to reach a healthy range of 40-45 pounds. This sweet boy has a lot of love to offer and is truly an all-around good companion. He hopes his stay at the shelter is short, so stop by and meet Frodo today—he could be the perfect addition to your family! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
