Meet Franklin: The Golden Boy with the Luscious Locks! Franklin is an adorable 1-year-old Yorkie mix who weighs in at 8 pounds. With his stunning, silky blonde hair, he's basically the supermodel of the dog park - though he'll need a dedicated stylist (that's you!) for regular brushing to keep those locks looking fabulous. His story: Franklin didn't have the easiest start in life. Coming from a hoarding situation, the world can still feel a little big and intimidating to him. He's a sensitive soul who gets a bit nervous meeting new people or entering unfamiliar environments. However, once he knows he's safe, his true colors shine through: he is the ultimate sweetheart and love bug. Personality & Perks: Don't let his shy first impression fool you - this boy has serious puppy spunk! He loves to run, jump, and play. He's got energy to spare and a real zest for life. Franklin's favorite place to be is right behind you. He'll happily follow you from room to room just to stay in the loop. He's also quite the conversationalist - Franklin isn't afraid to use his voice. Whether he's excited, a little spooked, or just has something to say, he'll let out a bark to keep you informed. Lifestyle Needs: Franklin is good with other dogs, provided they are polite and respect his personal space. However, he's not a fan of cats, so a feline-free home is a must. His history with kids is unknown, but given his nervous nature, a calm and predictable environment would be best. Like many young dogs from his background, Franklin is still working on his potty training. He'll need a patient human who can guide him with a consistent routine. Franklin is not a big traveler, he's more of a "staycation" kind of guy! He gets carsick, so he's looking for a family that understands short trips are best, or who is willing to work with him slowly to conquer his tummy troubles on the road. Franklin's Wishlist is a patient home, a soft brush for his golden hair, and a lap to call his own. If you have a little extra patience to help this blonde beauty gain his confidence, Franklin will repay you with a lifetime of loyal follows and sweet snuggles.
