Meet Frisco! Sweet Frisco came to us from a hoarding situation. If youre at all familiar with hoarding dogs, you know they require special treatment and lots of love. We realize these requirements limit eligible adopters, but believe these requirements to be in his very best interest. And thats why we do what we do - to help dogs like Frisco find the family thats the right fit for them.

Frisco is about a year and a half old shih tzu mix who is just under 25 lbs. Hes a sweet, playful boy but still a bit on the shy side. He needs a patient adopter who is going to give him the time and space he needs to adjust and get comfortable in a new home. Given that the best teachers for dogs lacking confidence are other dogs, Frisco also must have other confident dogs in the home with at least one of them being under 30 lbs and playful. He is learning to walk on a leash but has yet to gain enough confidence to go to the bathroom on leash and does require a SECURELY fenced yard - solid wood privacy fence only (minimum 6 ft). (Chain link, wrought iron, or other types of fencing are not sufficient due to his background and risk of flight.) 

With patience and calm, Frisco will warm up and come to you. He has a great tail wag and smile hes just waiting to show you! He is extremely fearful of men and has shown some behaviors that indicate an all female home is required for him.

Frisco is most definitely a work in progress but we cannot even begin to explain how rewarding it is to watch the transformation of a dog like this who has never known love before. Hes already come so far and with patience and love will continue to blossom. Once they learn to love and trust, they are so very very grateful and the amount of love they have to give and their loyalty knows no bounds.
