About Franklin

Meet Franklin, an adorable puppy of about 7 weeks old, weighing around 8 lbs. He’s a mix of Dalmatian and Hound, showcasing his distinctive black and white coat. Franklin is a playful and affectionate little guy who loves to wrestle with his brother Arthur, explore his surroundings, and snuggle up for naps. He gets along well with both the adult dogs and children in his foster home. Franklin is currently working on his house and crate training and is making great progress. Because he’s still so young, it’s essential that his new adopter is home during the day to continue his training and socialization. Due to his developing immune system, he needs a private fenced yard for outdoor play, as public areas pose too much risk until he’s fully vaccinated at around 16 weeks. He comes with age-appropriate vaccinations and is microchipped. Franklin will need to be neutered at 6 months, with a $100 refundable deposit in place for this procedure. This sweet boy is ready to bring joy and companionship to your home, so consider giving him the loving home he deserves! Your new best friend is just one click away.
