Frankie - The One-Woman Show of Devotion Meet Frankie, a 4-year-old Pittie mix with the kind of loyalty poets spend lifetimes trying to describe and the kind of personality that refuses to be filed under "just another dog." Frankie isn't background music. She's the whole soundtrack - brass, strings, percussion, and the quiet piano that sneaks in when you least expect it. She's funny without trying to be, affectionate without apology, and occasionally dramatic in ways that only make her more human. She loves her people with a devotion so fierce it could register on the Richter scale. Once you're hers, you're really hers - expect a permanent shadow at your side, a warm body against your leg, and a head that fits perfectly under your hand like it was carved there by fate. She'll curl beside you on the couch, press against you in bed, and follow you from room to room like your very own heartbeat with paws. Walks? She loves them. Fetch? She's in. Sunbathing? An Olympic sport, thank you very much. Frankie is fully housebroken, treat-motivated, vaccinated, command-savvy, and an absolute scholar of the art of snuggling. She's leash-trained too - as long as there's not another dog in sight (her therapist says we're working on it). She's also muzzle-trained and familiar with a crate, though she'd prefer the couch, ideally with your leg under her head. She's not here for a crowd. Frankie is a one-dog universe - her love shines brighter when she doesn't have to share the orbit. She'll do best in a calm, pet-free home with someone who understands that greatness often comes with quirks and that trust, like fine bourbon, takes time to age properly. Yes, she's selective. Yes, she's particular. But the best things in life usually are. Give her patience, and she'll give you something rarer - the kind of love that plants itself in your chest and refuses to move out. If you're looking for a sidekick, a soulmate, a slightly dramatic sun-worshipper who will make you feel like the most important person on earth - then congratulations. You've just met Frankie. Adopt Frankie and make space in your home for a little thunder, a little light, and a whole lot of love. PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
