Franklin came in as a stray and is estimated to be about two years old. Shelter life makes him anxious, but he’s been responding well to time outside and the structure of a daily routine. The kennel staff has focused on leash walking and basic commands, and Franklin picks things up quickly when given some time. He’s house trained and doesn’t tear up his kennel or belongings. With his energy, Franklin will need ongoing training and solid boundaries in a home that can match his activity level. He shows curiosity about other dogs and could live with them if introductions are handled thoughtfully. Because of his strength and exuberance, he might be too much for families with very young kids, at least at this stage. Franklin is looking for someone with the patience to build his confidence and keep up with his energy. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
