About Franky in Portland Oregon

Franky is an affectionate, playful male Cairn Terrier, ready to charm everyone he meets. At nearly 4 years old, he weighs in at 25 pounds and sports a striking brindle coat that showcases shades of tawny brown, grey, and black, highlighted by his adorable black mask. Franky eagerly engages in play, bringing his ball or toy to your feet, and he’ll retrieve it right back after you toss it. His gentle nature shines through when he takes treats or has toys taken away. Though he has a strong prey instinct, making him unsuitable for homes with cats, he thrives in environments filled with people. Franky is also looking for a family where he’s the only dog or at least with no other male dogs, as he's had some tussles with them in the past. He has a curious spirit and enjoys exploring the backyard, always eager for some outdoor time. Fully house-trained after a short adjustment period, he understands basic commands like sit and stay. While he can pull on the leash in his excitement, ongoing training will help him channel that eagerness into good behavior. Franky is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and looking for loving family to call his own. Your new best friend is just one click away.
