About Frankie

Meet Frankie. This lively boy has spent the last three years in a no-kill shelter, patiently waiting for his forever home. Imagine three years without a family to love and cuddle him. He was originally adopted from the streets of Manhattan, but as a young pup, he proved to be too energetic for his senior owner and ended up in the shelter. At about 50 pounds, Frankie is a playful and affectionate mixed breed. He thrives in an environment where he can be the only pet and would do best with older children (10 and up). This energetic fella needs a family that can offer him plenty of structured exercise to burn off his youthful energy. The shelter has provided him with some basic training; he knows how to walk on a leash and obeys commands like sit and stay. Continuing this training will require dedication from his new owner. Frankie is neutered, housebroken, and up to date on vaccinations. Once he’s had his exercise, he loves to settle down for some cuddles. Frankie is looking for a companion who understands his needs and can provide the love and activity he craves. If you’re ready for a dog that’s all about adventure and affection, Frankie is your guy!
