Frank came to safety after being left behind in central Arkansas, lured by the hope of a meal and a soft voice. His first days were rough—filthy, flea-bitten, bone-thin—but it didn't take long for gratitude to take over once he was offered kindness. This big German Shepherd is about 98 pounds of goof and muscle, eager for both a tennis ball and a steady routine. Fetch is his favorite, though return-the-ball isn't his strong suit yet. Frank tends to bond closely with one person, keeping others at arm's length. New owners need both large-dog experience and breed savvy—Frank will not suit someone unaccustomed to handling powerful working dogs. He's kennel and potty trained, understands sit and down, but he pulls hard on leash and will need a firm, consistent handler to set boundaries. When he gets riled up, he can play rough. Food is a big motivator with him, perfect for further training. He's neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Frank is currently undergoing heartworm treatment and is protected from fleas and ticks. He is not a fit for homes with cats and requires an adopter who values ongoing training and daily structure. Loyal and hardy, Frank does best when given a job and clear rules. Transport out of state is possible, though additional transport fees may apply. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
