About Frankie

Darling Frankie will bounce into your life with boundless energy. She’s got that joyful pep in her step that lifts spirits instantly. When she jumps on the bed, it’s more like a little dance than a leap, and her playful antics are sure to amuse anyone fortunate enough to be around her. Frankie adores cuddling on laps and having fun with her dog friends. She absolutely needs another dog or two in her new home, and she’s also okay with cats! Her ideal space is filled with people who are around often. So, if you’re retired, work from home, or just have a lot of time to spend, Frankie might just be the perfect match for you. While Frankie has a sweet disposition, she’s not without her quirks. Coming from a puppy mill, she carries some socialization and behavioral challenges. For instance, she feels uneasy around some men and does not handle being alone well. House training is still a work in progress, but The Pet Connection is dedicated to helping her through that and will offer training support after adoption. Frankie is truly worth the effort. She dreams of a loving forever home where she can feel safe and cherished. Can you provide that? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
