Hi! I’m Franklin and I love toys! I can’t believe I have a bunch to play with, I really like to take them out of my toy box one at a time. I entertain myself just fine this way but I would love a dog sibling to teach me how to play. I have the youthful energy of any young pup but I like to snuggle equally as much. I just love to cuddle up next to my person and even on their laps if they let me, but no pressure. I’m both curious and timid when meeting new people, so I’m working on my confidence. I’m also working on leash walking and I can even catch a ball in my mouth! Can you believe that?! I’m pretty proud of that move. I am also crate trained and house trained-yahoo!! I’d love to meet you.
P.S. I’ve been told I have super soft velveteen ears.
