Frankie’s life started as a stray, so his early days are a mystery, but what’s obvious now is he’s bright, eager, and ready for a real shot at a life where he can thrive. He was adopted once, but his herding drive made it tough for him to fit in when he found himself trying to organize small, older dogs. Frankie would be happiest in a home that sees his herding spirit as an asset—a place where there’s room for him to work or roam, ideally with folks who know and appreciate working breeds. He’s all personality: sharp-minded, quick to learn, and very much an outdoor enthusiast—unless it’s cold, in which case he’s curled up inside, soaking in the warmth. Frankie would do especially well in a rural or active household, maybe somewhere with fields or trails, and he’s the type who’ll reward your patience with unwavering dedication. He likes company, but on his own terms, and loves a good snuggle when he’s ready for downtime. A natural guardian, he’s alert and expressive, keeping a close watch on what's happening around him. Frankie sometimes takes time to trust, especially with men, but when he forms a bond it’s solid. He’s good with cats, generally gets along with other dogs (though he can be jealous), and does well with children. He just needs slow introductions as he settles in. Frankie isn’t after just any family—he’s after the right match who’ll give him space, time, and trust. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
