About Frankie

Meet Frankie, your future best friend in a fluffy little package! At just around 10 weeks old, Frankie is a charming Border Collie/Lab mix looking for his forever family. He and his six siblings, along with their mama, were surrendered to a high-kill shelter in South Texas. With no medical care offered, their lives hung in the balance. Luckily, we stepped in just in time to save them from a heartbreaking fate. Now, Frankie has the chance to grow up in a loving environment, where he can thrive and be a cherished companion. As a playful puppy, Frankie is eager to explore the world and bond with his humans. The ideal family for Frankie should be ready for some fun training sessions, socialization, and the joy (and occasional chaos) that comes with raising a puppy. While we may not know his adult personality just yet, we are certain he will fill your life with adventures, cozy naps, and endless love. Exciting news: Frankie is set to leave Texas for Maryland on October 22nd! If you've been looking for a sweet puppy to welcome into your home, this is your chance to meet him in person, with no waiting involved. Frankie's story could have ended in a shelter, but he got a second chance. Will you be the family that gives him a lifetime of love? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
