Frisco is a quietly remarkable dog—a soulful, affectionate companion who strikes the perfect balance between playful enthusiasm and gentle loyalty. In his home environment, Frisco truly shines: respectful, sweet, and always nearby, watching his people with the quiet devotion of a born companion. He’s a big fan of tug, fetch, and belly massages, and once he knows you’re “his person,” he’ll gladly trade those games for quiet snuggles or shadowing you through your daily routine.
But there’s more to Frisco than just charm—this thoughtful boy is curious, clever, and deeply intuitive. Think of him as your own personal private investigator: always aware of his surroundings, keeping tabs on his people, and cautiously assessing new situations. While unfamiliar places and strangers can make him anxious, Frisco has made great strides with patient training and steady leadership. He doesn’t need flashy outings or busy parks—he thrives on consistency, structure, and a home where he feels safe and understood.
In familiar settings, Frisco is impressively well-mannered. He’s crate trained, housebroken, respectful of boundaries, and has a solid foundation of basic obedience like “sit,” “down,” “go to your bed,” and “leave it.” He’s not destructive, not a counter-surfer, and rarely misbehaves—aside from occasionally testing the waters with furniture privileges. He’s also great in the car and tolerates vet visits with quiet bravery.
Frisco’s ideal home is a peaceful one with a yard and an experienced, dog-savvy adult who can continue guiding him with calm, consistent leadership. He hasn’t been tested with children or off-leash play with other dogs, but he’s shown comfort around other dogs from a distance. He may never be a social butterfly, but for the right person, Frisco will be a deeply loyal, loving companion—one who blossoms slowly, steadily, and beautifully.
If you’re someone who sees potential in the quiet ones, who finds joy in building trust and celebrating progress, Frisco just might be your perfect match.
