Frankie is about 18 months old and weighs around 50 lbs—a wolfhound mix with wiry black and cream fur and a gentle soul. Raised from puppyhood by a caring family, he recently made it clear he'd do best in a home where he can be the star or live with a calm, friendly female dog. His current family made the difficult call to look for an adopter who wants just that—someone patient and ready for a true companion. Frankie recently finished group training and shows off genuine smarts along with a few polished commands. He can be nervous around strangers, especially kids, and is searching for an adult-only home that understands the value of patience and slow introductions. Forced interactions and pressure won’t work for this guy; treats, freedom to take things at his own pace, and structure will go a long way. Over time, he opens up, forming deep bonds with his people—once that trust is built, Frankie’s affectionate, cuddly nature comes out, and he lives for belly rubs and quiet time with his person. He thrives with adventure and activity, making a great partner for walks, hikes, and days spent outside. If you’re invested in taking things slow, have an adult-only household, and value a true canine companion, Frankie may just be your perfect fit. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
