My story

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

Meet Francis (aka Frankie) – Your New Best Friend!

Francis, lovingly called Frankie, is a 35 lb, 1.5-year-old Hound/Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! This sweet boy is ready to bring endless joy and snuggles to his forever family.

What Makes Frankie Special:

Friendly & Social: Frankie adores his two doggie foster siblings and three teenage humans. He’s a pro at playtime and snuggles, with no hint of aggression over toys or food.

Cat Curious: There’s a cat in his foster home, and while Frankie is very excited to meet her, she isn’t as thrilled. A cat-free home or one with separation options might be best.

Active Lifestyle: Frankie would thrive in a home with an active family and another doggie buddy to share adventures with.

The Basics:
Fully potty trained – no accidents ever!
Crate trained – happily curls up with his blanket.
Leash pro – enjoys walks and behaves beautifully.
Knows commands like “come,” responds well to corrections, and is learning “sit” and “stay.”

Why You’ll Love Him:
Frankie is a quick learner who only wants to please. He’s happiest with a blanket and a friend to cuddle, and he plays only with his toys – no chewing mishaps here!

This smart, sweet, and loving boy is ready to steal your heart. Could Frankie be the missing piece to your family?
