Frodo is feeling friendly!

BTRC foster Frodo has made some big strides since arriving in his foster home. At first, he was very cautious and didn’t like to be handled. Now, he allows his foster mom to touch his paws and pick him up. Recently, when he was sleeping, his foster mom wrapped him up like a baby to move him from the couch to the bed and he woke up simply to kiss her and then quickly went back to sleep. A little trust can go a long way. ❤

Among Frodo’s favourite things are fuzzy blankets, human snuggles and nature shows.

He has become so invested in these shows that he now knows from the change in music when the animals will enter the scene. 🐅 So far, he was most riveted by a spider documentary (his foster mom did not share his sentiment!). He tries his best to enjoy fetch, but often he will attempt to catch or retrieve the ball while laying down. He doesn’t understand why fetch and naps need to be mutually exclusive.

Frodo’s foster family installed a doggy camera to check in on Frodo when he’s left alone. They have quite the collection of cute still shots of a curious Frodo wondering why the “thing” on the wall sounds like mom and dad. 😂 Lucky for Frodo, he isn’t alone often – he is lucky enough to accompany his foster mom to work. He has made many fans with his charm and he enjoys his new position in the Receiving Department – receiving pets and treats that is!

Frodo has a dental coming up and his luxating patella will be x-rayed at the same time. Stay tuned for this handsome boy’s next update!

Frodo is being fostered in Winnipeg, MB and is not yet ready for adoption.

 

Welcome Birthday Boy Frodo!

A family with active children isn’t the best environment for all dogs. This seems to be the case for Frodo. With two young children, his family trusted that BTRC could find a home better suited to his needs.

So far, Frodo has been a polite houseguest – eyeballing the humans while they eat but not begging, taking treats gently and calmly seeking attention. He is affectionate and likes to snuggle. Though he needs some work on his leash manners, he is a pro at elevator etiquette! 

Frodo will turn four tomorrow, and a birthday seems an appropriate way to celebrate his new beginning. Happy Birthday, and welcome to your future Frodo!
