Frankie is a large, three-year-old spayed female Newfoundland with a striking long black coat. Always the first to ask for a belly rub, she charms everyone she meets and is exceptionally sweet with people. Frankie has a lot of energy, so she will need a fenced yard to help her manage her enthusiasm safely. She only knows 'sit' so far and pulls on leash, so basic manners and leash training will be essential. Adopters must be prepared to enroll in a basic training class—this is non-negotiable. Frankie gets along with cats (she may chase at first, but settles in), but does not do well with other dogs and needs to be the only dog in the home. She isn't a match for homes with young children; older kids may be suitable if everyone understands boundaries and her energy level. While she's happy in the yard, most adopters enjoy daily walks, so ongoing training and commitment are important. Frankie is up to date on vaccines, house trained, and would thrive in a family willing to put in the time and structure she needs. Adoption must be finalized in Minnesota by the adopting family, and she cannot be adopted via a third-party transport service. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
