FRITO - Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Indianapolis, Indiana

Frito is proof that sometimes the simplest things in life are the best. A friendly face, a tasty treat, and a little kindness were all it took for this sweet boy to start feeling comfortable with the people around him. Staff found him to be nervous at first, but also incredibly gentle, friendly, and highly motivated by snacks. In other words, he may have a few things in common with the corn chip that inspired his name. Offer a treat and suddenly everyone is your new best friend. What stands out about Frito is how much he wants to connect despite being a little unsure at first. He showed staff that he is willing to trust, especially when approached with patience and understanding. The best relationships are often built one small moment at a time, and Frito seems ready to start building those moments with a family of his own. For the person who gives him that chance, the reward will be a loyal companion who is sweet, endearing, and likely willing to help supervise any future snack breaks. All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter's care. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet
