About Franklin

Meet Franklin, a charming 5-year-old Mastiff/Boxer mix waiting to make his way from Tennessee to a loving home in New England. Weighing in at 86 pounds, Franklin’s journey from being a stray to becoming a couch potato is heartwarming. He’s a gentle giant, quick to trust and eager for affection from both kids and adults. With his easygoing demeanor, he’s perfect for cozy evenings in while also enjoying peaceful outdoor moments lying on the grass. Franklin is house trained, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys car rides. He’s not into toys but loves being petted and adored. Having been around other dogs, he gets along well with them, and while he hasn’t met cats yet, we think he’d be just fine with them. He may not chase squirrels, but his big heart is ready to embrace his future family. If you’re looking for a companion who will stick by your side and share in everyday joys, Franklin is your guy. He’s not just a pet, but a loyal friend who brings calm and connection. All dogs at Great Dog Rescue New England are up to date on vaccinations and altered, ready for adoption without additional travel fees.
