My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Frankie was suffering from neglect, but has come so far. She is super friendly, young and full of energy. She is ready for her furever home. On the downside, Frankie lacks manners and still is very jumpy and mouthy. Typical of a puppy that was taken from their mother to young. A definite sign of backyard breeding :-( She would do well with some obedience training, which the organization would be happy to help pay for. She is not completely house trained, but I believe would learn fairly quickly in a structured environment where she is being taken out regularly and proper training techniques are used. When she gets scared she does pee a little. Of course that's from the neglect that she suffered. Hopefully over time that would improve, as it has here. For these reasons we are recommending an experienced handler, and no children under 12.

More about this rescue

I have been rescuing dogs for many years, but just recently started getting more officially involved. It started with a rescue last year, Michael. He was being tethered to a trailer in the back yard 24/7 in the extreme summer heat and horrible thunderstorms. Animal Services were full so they were not doing much so I worked with the family for about a month before I was able to get them to surrender him to me. I wasn't able to keep him due to his size so I found him a wonderful home. That really inspired me and not long after I was given the opportunity to rescue 2 dogs from really deplorable conditions and again, due to size, had to adopt one out. He went to a wonderful home in Missouri. I was able to keep his senior mom. She has been through enough in her life I did not want to put her through another transition. That is the sanctuary part of the organization. So now I would like to put up some more fencing and make some other modifications to that I can take in a few more dogs and hopfully find them wonderful homes as well so I can continue to help more. There are so many in need. Shelters and rescues all seem to be full and there is a shortage of fosters available. I would love to team up with some amazing people who can assist me so we can provide help for even more.
