About Frankie

Frankie is around 90 lbs and 3 years old, but he acts like he's just a tiny 10-15 lbs, especially when he's hoping for a lap to curl up on. This snugly giant loves to lean against you or simply lay nearby, soaking up your presence. When he isn’t insisting on cuddles and butt scratches, Frankie enjoys sunbathing, wallowing, and even zooming around on a trampoline. He’s well-behaved for baths, nail trims, car rides, and vet visits. Frankie is potty and crate trained, and he shines in basic obedience training thanks to his positive reinforcement-based training. While he’s happy around other dogs, he prefers to be the only canine in the home. Cats are definitely a no-go for him. He has interacted positively with kids in public but hasn’t lived with them—teenage siblings could be a great fit for his playful nature, though he might accidentally knock over little ones due to his size and excitement. At the end of the day, Frankie is a loveable companion, seeking a family that will cherish him just as much as he will cherish them. If you think you could be that family, apply today!
