My name is Frankie!

Introducing Frankie

This brave boy came to AFRP after Santa Cruz County Animal Services asked for help for him and his big brother Rufus. Now thriving in a cozy foster home, Frankie is ready to find his perfect furever family!

Despite being a bit shy when meeting new friends, Frankie quickly blossoms into the sweetest, most loving companion you could ever wish for. His foster family says he's a pint-sized bundle of joy who adores spending time with his favorite humans whether it's snuggling close, going to work as your "paw-sistant, or playing until his tiny tail wags out of control!

Frankie is quite a special pup and would love to find adopters who understand his continued needs such as fecal incontinence and his silly little way of walking due to slightly bowed legs. Frankie is currently on a prescription diet to maintain his digestive health as well. At this time, Frankie is completely unaware of his special-ness and thinks he's a totally, typical, normal puppy!

Frankie's ideal home would be with kind and patient adult adopters or families with children over the age of ten who can appreciate his small size and big heart. He'd love to have a similarly sized playmate to romp around with, and he may do just fine with a dog-savvy cat in the home given slow and proper introductions!

Frankie is currently in foster care. Meet and greets can be arranged once your online application has been approved. Visit www.animalfriendsrescue.org for our online dog application.
