About Franky

Meet Franky, your devoted little shadow! This affectionate 5-year-old Cockapoo has a heart full of love and a deep loyalty that makes him the ideal companion. Franky isn’t just looking for a place to live; he wants to be your everything. As a classic velcro dog, Franky wants to follow you wherever you go. If you're sitting down or heading to bed, he’ll be right there beside you. He may not be a hyperactive pup, but when it’s time to explore, he has the stamina for long walks, jogs, and hikes. A good game of tug-of-war is always on his agenda, too! Franky is in search of a very specific home where he can shine as your one and only. He doesn't need a canine friend; rather, he would prefer a dog-free household. Also, a cat-free environment is a must, as Franky doesn’t get along with cats. While he is generally sweet and gentle, he’s more comfortable in an adult-only home given his occasional reactivity during play. It’s important that Franky has a companion around most of the time. He experiences separation anxiety and can become quite distressed when left alone. Ideal adopters would be those who work from home or engage in dog-friendly activities, ensuring Franky is included throughout the day. Franky is house-trained and enjoys having access to a yard. He’s also leash trained and loves his walks. If you can provide a gentle, understanding atmosphere for this sensitive soul, he’ll reward you with endless love and companionship. Franky is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. If you think you could be his perfect match, don’t hesitate to apply to meet him! Your new best friend is just one click away.
