Here's Frieda!
Say hello to Frieda! She is a 7 year old Maltese/Pug/Chihuahua mix (per her DNA testing she is a mix of 13 different breeds, making her extra special!). Frieda is a stout, solid girl weighing in at 21lbs. She is a gentle sweetheart and will make an excellent canine companion. Frieda is totally housetrained and has good leash manners. She is very food motivated which has made her training fun and rewarding. Frieda does not require tons of exercise and can be content with a short walk to do her business, but she will also easily do a 2 mile walk if that is your thing. Frieda is not overly needy either - she happily seeks attention, pets, and praise, then is content to lay on her bed quietly chewing her bone, she likes to be near her people and will keep you in sight when you are home.
Frieda would be happy as the only dog in the home or could co-exist with a friendly, calm dog (she is not looking for a playmate, but rather a canine roommate/companion). A quiet, adult home or one with gentle teenagers would be a good match for Frieda as well.
Frieda has some well controlled medical issues and requires special food and daily meds. She is absolutely no problem to give pills to, just put them in a little canned food and she will gobble them down.
