FRITO

MALE – TERRIER MIX – ADULT – AT SHELTER SINCE MAR 2026

Meet Frito, a resilient little guy with a heart full of love and a spirit that just won’t quit. When Frito first arrived, he needed medical care and a chance to heal. Thanks to that care, he’s now on the mend and doing better every single day, and his happy personality is shining through.

Frito is incredibly kind, handsome, and has a gentle soul. Despite whatever he went through in the past, he hasn’t let it dim his love for people. He’s been starting to enjoy his walks, soaking up yard time, and discovering just how fun life can be. He still has that playful, youthful energy and is ready to keep blossoming in a home of his own.

What Frito needs most now is a loving family who will continue to show him kindness, patience, and all the good things life has to offer. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, affection, and a grateful heart.
