Frankie is just the most precious boy! He is around 2yo and weighs 15lbs., and is probably a chihuahua mix of some sort, with a gorgeous brindle, black and white coat and warm brown eyes. Frankie loves the company of other dogs, kitties and adults. He has been with kids ages 5 to 10yo and did great. He loves chew toys and is very food motivated. He rides well in a car. He's just an all-around fun guy and will bring joy to you every day. Frankie is crated when his fosters leave the house, and he cries a bit at first but settles down. For that reason, apartment living would would not suit him. We prefer a fenced yard, or someone who can provide him with lots of exercise and a place to run and burn off his energy. He is active in the morning, then settles in for nap time. He may mark once or twice in a new environment, but he learns very quickly and is potty trained. Frankie loves to sleep snuggled up right next to his foster parents at night. He just wants to be as close to you as possible and likes to show affection with gentle little kisses. Frankie is heartworm positive at this time, and is on the slow kill protocol, which we can explain that process to any interested applicant. He can enjoy regular activities. Heart worm disease is contracted from an infected mosquito and can not be transmitted to another dog.
