My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We would like to present a five star dog named Frito for adoption. He was a stray pickup on the side of the road at 3.5 months.   Frito is a sweet, small, Yellow lab mix. He is  about 6 months old, 29 pounds. When he is full grown, he should be about 45 pounds. He is neutered, UTD shots, & does not need meds.  Frito is adorable, alert, smart, sensitive to correction, & very eager to please. He is a handsome, playful puppy.  Frito is easy to train, likes his crate, & is 95% crate trained.  Frito does not bark, drool, chew shoes, tip trashcans, charge the door, dart away, or counter surf. (Amazing, I know!)   Frito is very  people friendly  & would be great with all kids.  Frito is  dog friendly  & well socialized with Male & Female dogs of varying activity levels from 9 to 70 pounds. They all become his friend.  Frito is pretty chill so I think he’d do well with  cats  but would need an appropriate introduction.  Frito likes to eat & has NO Food aggression.  He eats his kibble calmly & completely. He is not a grazer or a gulper.  He is food motivated which makes training a snap. 
Frito is "Amazing" on a leash. Does not pull, lead, lag, or cross. I walk him with 3 other larger dogs & he is happy in the middle of the pack.  He likes to pick up a stick & just carry it in his mouth.  He sees chipmunks & squirrels but does not lunge after them. Just notices them & keeps going.  He is curious but not destructive (unless you’re a stick).  He does great in the car (2.5 hour ride - no prob), sat quietly at my feet in an outdoor restaurant even with people & dogs walking by!  He knows some commands - s it, off, back, home, wait, bed, go potty, no, eh!  the " Come" command is at about 90% successful. 100% successful with a treat.  T his fabulous puppy is ready for an amazing home!
