Meet Frost!

Meet Frost!

Frost is an 8-year-old male Dalmatian/Pit Bull mix who was brought to Lollypop Farm because his previous owner developed allergies.

Frost weighs 70 pounds, has a slightly goofy demeanor, and cute spotted ears! He's a sweet and smart dog who does well on a leash, knows "sit," and likes to lean against your leg when getting attention. At his old home Frost lived outside, so his new owner will need to speak to Lollypop Farm's Behavior Department about transitioning him to an indoor only home.
