About Franklin

Meet Franklin, also known as Uncle Frank. This charming 8-year-old Schnauzer is all about his cozy retired lifestyle. He loves having his people close by, familiar surroundings, and, of course, a collection of big toys to call his own. Franklin has a knack for gathering his favorite toys and keeping a close eye on them. Even at his age, he still has plenty of spirit. He navigates the house well, and when it’s time for bed, he hops right into his foster mom's king-size bed, claiming his spot with pride. Although Franklin experiences some vision loss, he's learned to adapt beautifully, especially with a steady routine and occasional help. He does best with larger toys and regular outdoor breaks, and he’s great at navigating his environment when he knows what to expect. This sweet boy craves companionship and loves snuggling up beside you on the couch or just being close while you go about your day. He's not interested in big adventures or weekend getaways. Instead, he prefers the simple life, content to stay in familiar places with loved ones. Frank's home should be a warm, serene space where routine and cozy naps are the norms. He’s friendly with other dogs and is house trained. If you appreciate the quieter moments in life and are looking for a snuggly companion, Uncle Frank is ready to retire with you.
