Health Condition:

Frolic was found with 200+ ticks on her body that have since been removed. You can still see some bald spots from the tick bites but the hair is growing back.  Other than that she a healthy young lady ready to grow and thrive in MPR program until her perfect family can be found. 

​

Physical Description:  

Being younger, Frolic is still growing but is currently around 35lbs. We expect her to be medium sized when fully grown, possibly on the small side. What Frolic lacks in size she makes up for in personality! This spunky girl has a split white and metallic grey coat with the prettiest, most kissable all white face. Frolic has the cutest too big for her body ears that make her resemble a pharaoh hound when they are at attention, which makes sense because she has our volunteers ready to build statues of her even after just a short time in our program. 

 

Current Living Situation:  

Frolic is currently residing at the MPR shelter and so far has kept a nice kennel. She's a perfect little guest and we can only wish all our dogs were as easy and well behaved during their stay in our care.

 

Frolic likes to sit on her top bunk watching volunteers as they go by. She is curious, but quiet and always has a sweet smile in her eyes when we walk by her. 

 

So far Frolic has not had any issues with housetraining, but young dogs like her will still need encouragement that potty time is for outside only. She seems to already know the concept and uses her doggy-door to relieve herself in our outside kennel if she has too. She hasn't had any accidents in the playroom. 

​

Frolic recently had a temporary stay in a foster home. She had access to a completely fenced yard - which she loved! There were two adults and two other larger dogs in the home. Frolic was introduced and interacted with the dogs. She slept in a large crate in the living room. The foster parents both worked from home so she was able to get frequent bathroom breaks and small periods of time to play during the day. She was also crated for small periods of time throughout the day. She went on brief outings and did well with outside interactions! 

 

Personality:   

Being new to our shelter Frolic has been timid when first meeting people but once she knows you are a friend.... BUCKLE UP! What a fun-loving little princess she is!  This girl has our volunteers swooning over her endearing personality every day. After she comes out of her shell she is your best friend and will hop around in excitement, not totally sure how to contain her joy. In true Pit Bull fashion, Frolic has the biggest smile when loving on her humans. She is totally adorable and her whole body wags with her tail as if she was salsa dancing when she's around her human friends. 

​

Frolic is a happy, outgoing girl with so much love to offer. She is active and has great energy. She has great recall and is very eager to please. She is very smart and quickly learns the routines and what is expected of her. She is the definition of a Velcro dog and very much wants to be involved in everything you do. She has a huge heart and wants to be the center of attention, like she deserves!

​

Behavior with people: 

Frolic has been a quick favorite with our shelter volunteers. While timid at first, she quickly warms up to you and wants to be a lap dog that gets all the belly scratches. Frolic likes to lay her thin body across your legs while she looks up at you as you pet her telling her how pretty and perfect she is. Like most young dogs with puppy energy, Frolic can be a bit jumpy but our volunteers are working on teaching her that she will still get all the love with all four on the floor. 

 

Behavior with children:  

We believe Frolic would do better in a home with teenagers. She is still a child herself and wants to be treated like she is your only baby. With her timid tendencies, children can easily startle her. Frolic also has puppy energy in a bigger body and could get a little too excited for children. We think she could live in a home with older, respectful children as long as the parents assure good supervision so kids and dogs know they can rely on adult management when interacting.   

 

Behavior with other dogs:  

Frolic cohabitated with two dogs while in the foster home. She played well with the other dogs! With proper introductions, we believe Frolic could live with a compatible male in her forever home. Being a younger dog she would do best with a playmate that can tolerate her energy levels and be patient with her while helping her mature. 

 

Behavior with other animals:  

Frolic has not shown signs of a high prey drive. She did not bark at other dogs as they pass on walks during her foster stay. She is much more focused on playing and exploring! ​

​

Training: 

Our volunteers are working with Frolic everyday on training. We hope to teach this mush of a dog all the commands that she needs to thrive in a home. Given her personality and eagerness to please we believe she will be a fast learner! She's a smart cookie already and has sharp timing response. 

​

Best Attribute:

Even being newer to our program we could gush about this young lady's loving personality for days. Once properly acquainted, Frolic will love you with all her little body and big heart has to offer. Frolic is looking for an adopter that is willing to let her express her big heart while teaching her the proper manners needed to succeed in a home. While Frolic is the definition of a Velcro dog, she will need to be taught that she cannot be on your lap and give you kisses 24/7/365.....  Frolic is full of life and joy, and did we mention LOVE? She is intelligent, eager to please, confident and cheerful. She will make you laugh with her quirky personality.! She is active and would be great for adventures or cuddles on the couch. Somewhere out there Frolic's future family is unaware that they are going to be the luckiest family ever getting to adopt this total sweetheart.

​

Even if you can’t adopt this sweetheart, you can still help by donating for their care.
