Meet Frisky – A Little Dynamo with a Heart of Gold
Frisky is an 8-year-old Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love, eagerly waiting for the right person to share his boundless affection. Though small in size at just 6 lbs, his personality is larger than life. This super sweet and gentle little guy is devoted and ready to be your constant companion.
Frisky’s Personality and Daily Life
Affectionate and Loyal:
Frisky is a true lap dog who loves nothing more than cuddling up next to you. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, working at your desk, or out for a stroll, he’s always by your side as your loyal shadow.
Social and Well-Adjusted:
Having been fostered alongside other dogs and children, Frisky has learned to be respectful and gentle. He only barks when he feels threatened, ensuring a quiet presence in your home. Though underweight, he is steadily gaining weight as he grows stronger every day.
House and Crate Habits:
Frisky is mostly housebroken—any marking is likely due to sharing a home with three other male dogs. He’s comfortable in his crate and uses it as a safe haven when needed, though he prefers human company most of the time.
Playful Spirit:
This little guy loves toys and finds creative ways to turn everyday items, like food bowls, into play objects. His playful energy is evident, yet he remains sweet and submissive, always ready for a cuddle after a fun-filled day.

Frisky is looking for a loving and patient adopter who understands that sometimes his gentle bark is his way of feeling secure. He would thrive in a home where he can receive plenty of love and attention, whether it's quiet snuggles at home or leisurely strolls in the neighborhood.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
