About Frankie

Frankie is proof that good things come to those who wait (and maybe bring high-value treats). This gentle guy is a bit shy at first, but once he warms up, he's all in. Frankie is deeply affectionate, loving to lean into your leg for scratches or curl up nearby just to be close. He walks beautifully on a leash and has great manners, making him a wonderful companion. Frankie gets along well with other dogs, which is a plus if you already have a canine sibling. His playful nature shines through in his sweet, low-key way—think gentle zoomies rather than chaos. Housetrained and crate trained, Frankie knows the house rules. He just needs someone patient who can help him navigate his shy moments as he adapts to new situations. Could you be the one to help him feel safe enough to truly be himself?
