Frida Pawlo

This 2-year-old, 11lb Chihuahua mix is as smart and soulful as her name suggests—a true little muse in a tiny package!<br/><br/>Frida was found as a stray with her one-week-old puppy and brought to the Downey Animal Shelter. With no microchip and no one coming to claim her, Shelter Hope took her in and placed her in the safety of foster care, where she lovingly raised her pup like the devoted mama she is.<br/><br/>Now it’s Frida’s turn to shine! Frida is sweet, observant, and incredibly affectionate. She absolutely adores being in your arms and will happily leap into them—she’s quite the little jumper! Whether she’s cuddling close or keeping a careful watch on her surroundings, Frida is always tuned in to her people.<br/><br/>She’s been thriving in her foster home and is ready for the next chapter of her life: a forever home filled with love, security, and soft places to snuggle. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Frida Pawlo is your girl!<br/><br/>More from her foster:<br/>I'm writing to share a bit about Frida Pawlo, who is truly a special dog. She arrived with her puppy, Monet and was initially quite scared and timid, even barking at my husband. However, within just two days, she transformed, jumping onto our laps and giving us kisses.<br/><br/>Frida is incredibly smart, loves spending time in the yard, and is a loyal watch dog. Seeing her gently play with her puppy was absolutely heartwarming. She also has a fondness for sticks, jerky, and plenty of cuddles. <br/><br/>—----<br/><br/>Looking to Adopt?
