About Frankie

Meet Frankie, a sweet and gentle soul with the most striking eyes and an endearing face. He’s learning what love means, having likely never experienced a close relationship with humans before. Frankie is naturally timid and often curls up in his favorite memory foam bed when new people are around. However, his brave spirit is beginning to shine. He enjoys independent exploration, walks nicely on a leash, and even likes going for light jogs. In his curious moments, Frankie has been caught admiring his reflection and playfully inspecting squeaky toys. His ideal forever home would be calm and patient, allowing him to build confidence at his own pace. Having a similarly-sized dog companion is a must, as he looks to other dogs for reassurance and guidance. Potential adopters should be aware that he’s a speedy little guy, so secure doors and a watchful eye are essential. With a gentle hand and a consistent routine, Frankie is ready to blossom into the loyal companion he’s meant to be.
