Frito is curious, goofy, cuddly and full of personality. He loves meeting new people, playing with other dogs and showing off his tricks for a treat!

“He’s curious. He’s funny, goofy. He’s cuddly. He loves playing with other dogs. Actually, that’s one of his favorite things to do,” Sarah shared.
Frito would be a great match for an active, playful family. Austin Bulldog Rescue is also looking for a potential foster home with another dog to keep him company.
And Frito isn’t just looking for love. He’s helping spread the word about Austin Bulldog Rescue’s upcoming Howl-O’ween Spooktacular, happening Sunday, October 18, at Easy Tiger on South Lamar!
