Meet Frankie, the darling who will tug at your heartstrings! 🥰 At just 2-3 years old, he's brimming with energy and affection, all wrapped up in that gorgeous coat and those captivating blue eyes.✨ You see, Frankie is not just any furball; he embodies the bold spirit typical of a dachshund, complete with all the charm and quirks one would expect from his breed! Frankie loves nothing more than darting around with his fellow foster pups, but, let's be real—he can be a bit choosy with other alpha dogs. It’s just the dachshund way! 😂 We get that, right? He came into our care after a tough start at an Amish auction in Kentucky, where he lived in a cage with his girlfriend. Now he's learning to break out of his shell, trusting and interacting with other dogs like the superstar he is. 🌟 When he first arrived with his girlfriend, both were a bit shy and unsure of being cuddled. But now? Oh no! They absolutely bask in the warmth of human affection! Now, about the kids: Frankie would thrive in a loving home with older kids, specifically those over 12 years old. Why? Well, let’s just say he appreciates the company of ‘older’ buddies who can understand his unique personality! If you’re on the lookout for a furry companion to share your adventures with, Frankie could be the one you've been waiting for! He's ready to be your loyal sidekick, filled with affection and playful antics. ❤️ Now, don’t forget! To meet our handsome Frankie, please apply through the Buddy App. He’s got a few requirements like a fenced-in yard (no exceptions—gotta keep that spirit safe!) and subsequent steps including a Zoom call and adoption contract.

Plus, be prepared to travel to Athens, AL, to meet this wonderful buddy! 🏠 Frankie's ready to find a forever home, so apply today through the Buddy App! 🐶✨
