My story

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

Meet Frankie! ❤️🐾
Frankie is a lovable, energetic sweetheart who adores people and plays great with other dogs! His playful spirit and big heart make him the perfect companion for an active home filled with love, fun, and adventure.

❤Name: Frankie
❤Age: Estimated 2-3 years old
❤Gender: Male
❤Weight: 30kg (65 Lbs)
❤Breed: Golden Retriever
❤Vaccinations/Neutered: Completed

👉Personality & Temperament

Frankie is an affectionate and social dog who absolutely loves people. He enjoys playing with both adults and children, but due to his high energy level and tendency to playfully mouth hands and arms, he may not be suitable for very young children who could find him overwhelming.

👉Behavior with Other Animals

🦴Dogs: Frankie gets along great with other dogs and loves to play! He can be a bit rough when playing with larger dogs but is very gentle and adjusts his play style when interacting with small dogs.

🦴Cats: He has not been exposed to cats, but based on his personality, he is likely to approach them fearlessly and try to initiate play rather than avoiding them.

👉House Training

Frankie is partially house-trained. He is used to relieving himself indoors but tends to only go in specific areas. If provided with pee pads in those spots, he will use them. He previously lived in a foster home where he preferred indoor potty breaks, likely due to limited early exposure to outdoor walks. However, his habits may have changed now that he is staying at a shelter.

👉Energy Level: 9-10 (High Energy)

👉Separation Anxiety & Barking

🦴No separation anxiety

🦴Vocal when he wants attention or playtime—he may bark at people or other dogs to express his excitement or needs.

👉Touch Sensitivity

Frankie loves being petted and handled—he craves human touch and has no fear of hands.

👉Walking & Leash Behavior

🦴Strong leash pulling, especially when excited.

🦴Easily distracted and eager to approach people and dogs he encounters.

🦴Knows basic commands like "sit" and "wait" but struggles to respond in high-energy outdoor environments.

👉Escape Behavior

No known escape tendencies; he does not attempt to run away from home or during walks.
