About Franklin

Franklin is a 6-year-old male Labrador Retriever who weighs about 65 lbs. He was rescued from a hoarding situation, along with many other dogs needing urgent medical attention. Franklin has come a long way since those days and is now ready for a loving forever home where he can thrive. His charming demeanor combines a soft, calm nature with gentle, teddy-bear-like paws. Housebroken and leash-trained, Franklin walks beautifully without pulling. He loves being included in activities and easily settles down beside you. With time, he has grown comfortable around children and shows indifference to cats. Franklin has a good appetite and takes treats gently, enjoying the simple pleasures of life, like lounging near his favorite people. Although he needs minimal steps in his new home, he would be happiest in a household with other dogs and older children. As part of his ongoing care, Franklin is vaccinated, dewormed, and will be neutered later. He is located in San Francisco, CA, and is ready to charm his way into your heart. What are you waiting for?
