About Frostine

Frostine, or Tina as she's affectionately known, is a loving and playful companion eager to find her forever home. Originally arriving at the shelter as a tiny puppy with her siblings, she’s now back after some unexpected life changes, ready to embark on her next adventure. She's fully housebroken and crate-trained, thriving in cozy spaces, especially when curled up by a warm fireplace or snuggled under blankets at night. Tina is quite the active girl; she enjoys running on hiking trails and zooming in a fenced backyard with her dog friends. Tina is great with other dogs! She's playful with younger pups and respectful around seniors, making her a versatile companion. While she's alert and friendly, her ideal home would be with adults or older children who understand her playful nature. Tina does have some quirks: During overly rowdy play, she may nip, so a calm environment is crucial. Also, she can be possessive over high-value food and loves shredding paper products. And let’s not forget, Tina prefers her snowy pathways to be nicely shoveled! If you're searching for a loyal partner for outdoor adventures and cozy evenings, Tina could be your perfect match. Due to Massachusetts Department of Agriculture restrictions, we’re unable to adopt to MA residents. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
