Frida D12208

Frida is a goofy, wrinkly-faced girl who has discovered that life can be pretty darn fun! Affectionate, playful, and full of personality, she has the wrinkles, the wiggles, the toys, and an absolutely adorable little "harumph" for just about every occasion.<br/><br/>When Frida comes out of her kennel, she's ready to party! She usually grabs a toy, shakes it with tremendous enthusiasm, and races around like she just won the lottery. Her stuffed mammoth is a particular favorite, and she flails it around with impressive determination. She knows how to play fetch, too-although she's still deciding whether outdoor fetch is worth learning.<br/><br/>Once the zoomies are out, Frida is happy to become a couch potato. She loves being invited up for cuddles and will happily sit between your legs for some quality snuggle time. Her foster has discovered a hilarious routine: Frida will leave the couch when she's finished getting pets, settle onto her bed, and then stare intensely at her person until she's invited back. Five minutes later, she's apparently forgotten she was the one who left and is ready for another cuddle session. <br/><br/>Frida recently attended an adoption event and did fantastically! She enthusiastically greeted everyone she met, including children of various ages, and absolutely loved being the center of attention. She does have an enthusiasm for life that occasionally outruns her spatial awareness, though, so very young children should be supervised around her excitement.<br/><br/>Frida wants everyone to be her best friend-human and animal alike. She's shown playful, excited interest in other dogs and has had some positive, short interactions with her foster's resident dog. Introductions are currently being kept brief and carefully managed while she continues learning appropriate boundaries. The good news is that Frida is very easy to redirect toward toys, treats, or attention when another animal needs a break. She may do well living with another dog or cat with slow introductions and a companion who is comfortable communicating clear boundaries while Frida learns that sometimes "no" means no.<br/><br/>Frida is fantastic in her crate and sleeps peacefully there overnight. She can also stay crated during the workday without a problem. She's fully potty trained and has successfully gone overnight and through a 9-hour workday without an accident. She knows some basic commands, including sit and shake with hand signals, and she's always excited when the leash comes out. She's still working on remembering that walks aren't a sled-dog competition, but she's having fun learning!<br/><br/>Frida has a few opinions about the world that she's still working through. The dark, for example, is apparently where all sorts of suspicious activities happen, so nighttime potty trips can require a little encouragement. Wet or dewy grass is also highly questionable in her book. She's much more comfortable once she can see what's going on, and her confidence comes right back when she realizes there is, in fact, nothing lurking in the shadows. She's also a bit unsure in unfamiliar situations, but given a moment to investigate, she generally decides that things are probably okay after all. In other words, Frida is brave, but she'd like to conduct a thorough investigation first.<br/><br/>She also has a serious case of FOMO and may whine or occasionally bark in her kennel if other animals are getting food or fun without her. Missing out is simply not an option when you're Frida.<br/><br/>And Frida has some very strong interior decorating opinions. A blanket in her kennel lasted approximately as long as it took her to discover it before she completely destroyed it. She's perfectly happy with a bare kennel, so apparently minimalist decor is her preferred style.<br/><br/>Frida is settling into foster care beautifully, and the more comfortable she gets, the more her playful and cuddly personality comes shining through. She's a sweetheart with a huge personality and enough enthusiasm to keep life interesting. She's ready for a family who will give her plenty of playtime, cuddles, structure, and opportunities to learn-and who will appreciate every wonderfully silly bit of Frida that makes her, well, Frida.
