Sweet, gentle, and affectionate, she’ll look up at you with admiration, making you feel like the most important person in her world. Once she chooses you, she’s yours for life. Frizzle is people-focused and enjoys the company of adults, kids, and anyone she meets. She’s happiest curled up in a lap or snoozing on a soft blanket while you go about your day. This little shadow loves to be part of whatever you’re doing. With a curious spirit, Frizzle adjusts easily to new environments. She enjoys walks and exploring, occasionally seeking reassurance from her person but quickly warming up to new experiences. She's great with other dogs, exhibiting lovely leash manners without pulling — just a delightful companion trotting alongside. At home, she’s mostly a nap expert, occasionally bursting into playtime with her rope toy or favorite stuffed penguin. Frizzle’s exercise needs are minimal; a few walks and some cozy couch time keep her happy. She’s potty trained and getting the hang of crate training, though she’ll need a patient adopter to help her feel secure when alone. Ideal matches would involve someone working from home or retired, providing the companionship she craves. Frizzle is looking for a home where love and cuddles abound. She has plenty to give and is ready for someone she can cherish, whether as the only dog or sharing space with another friendly pup. If you’re searching for a devoted companion, Frizzle would love to meet you!
