Franky

(02/26/2022) Franky is the sweetest boy EVER!! Franky really loves his humans = a bit of a velcro pup for sure! His foster mom absolutely loves him and thinks he is just a pleasure and so easy to love. Franky has the best smile and his eyes squint in the sun...it's adorable. Frankly absolutely loves being outside in the fenced back yard. He would really, really love one in his fur-ever home. He looks forward to being outside numerous times throughout the day on leash (front yard, brief walks) and off leash (fenced backyard). He loves exploring, running, sunning and playing in the backyard, especially when one of his doggie friends join him. He is also happy just laying around outside and taking a bit of a sun bath. He hasn't mastered walking on a leash, so a family that has some members that are patient and can handle a strong pup on leash until he learns this and it becomes a routine for him. Franky loves food related enrichment!! Any kind of enrichment toy that involves food is his favorite (kongs, lick mats, bento treat balls, etc.). He will occasionally chew on nylabones and that kind of thing. He also loves chew toys. Franky is food/treat motivated, so a very good way to continue fun training activities with him. He's easily redirected and eager to please is humans. Franky is already crate and house trained. "I've never met a better crate trained dog." Franky is happy to go night-night in his crate and be snuggled up and happy until the morning. So far, it seems like Frankly likes submissive dogs about his size. How the other dog reacts to him usually dictates the outcome. That being said, he is definitely interested in being social with our other dogs. They just need the proper introduction. So he could be in a home with other dogs or as an only dog with humans that would love and dote on him. Franky doesn't have to have children in the home, but if there are then they should be sturdy and/or older because of his energy level. Plus, he still a little nippy and mouthy. He does have some anxiety and is currently on Trazadone and he is perfectly fine. As part of Franky's $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
