About Frankie

Frankie stands out as one of the most unique dogs around. With her quirky ears and a playful underbite that showcases those lovable teeth, she captures attention. Initially adopted as a Beagle mix, DNA testing revealed her true lineage—primarily Doberman with Boxer and Bulldog traits. At a healthy 35 pounds, Frankie is fully grown and excels in her house training. Currently in a foster home, she thrives with the other dogs and would benefit from a confident canine companion. While she once chased cats, she quickly learned the rules and now knows better. Frankie has a protective side; she used to chase walkers away from her yard but has since been trained to relax. Her previous family made it clear that she needs a secure, fenced yard away from walking paths, along with an active household. Frankie enjoys her exercise and would appreciate someone who can keep pace with her past walks. She's a sweet, sensitive dog who desires to please and responds best to gentle training methods. This adaptable girl is easy to love and could be perfect in the right home. No apartments and a yard are essential. She's ideally suited for an adult or older child home where clear boundaries can be established. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
