About Frankie

Meet Frankie, a gentle soul who’s ready for a second chance. This 2.5-year-old, 70-pound neutered male American Staffordshire Terrier mix is currently in a foster home in Austin, Texas, awaiting an approved adopter. Frankie faced challenges early in life, having been tied up in a yard after being left behind by family. Now, he’s learning that kindness exists and humans are worth trusting. Frankie is shy at first but reveals a sweet, affectionate side once he feels secure. He lives with other large dogs and is gradually building confidence, enjoying tug-of-war and even tearing up cardboard. Although initially cautious, he prefers to retreat rather than react when uncertain. His gentle nature suggests he may thrive in a calm home with older children who can respect his boundaries. House training has gone well; he hasn’t had any accidents since arriving in foster care. While he’s still adjusting to leash walks, he manages well when left alone. Frankie also enjoys mealtimes without any signs of food guarding. He has a curious side that has led him to escape through chain link fencing, so a secure yard and supervision are important. With a calm canine companion, Frankie could blossom into a loyal pet. If you believe in second chances and want to help this sweet dog find his forever home, Frankie may be the one for you.
