Frankie is a happy, boisterous, and friendly guy! He loves to play with other dogs and chase them in the yard. He's not very fast so he never wins the game of tag! hahaha
Frankie enjoys hanging out on the couch and snuggling but he gets hot pretty easily and so doesn't spend a lot of time up close. He likes to lay in dog beds or the cool floor. In the summer, he likes to sleep with a fan on him. He is a great little car rider and enjoys looking out the window. He is excited to get to his next destination and meet new people.
Frankie will bark when meeting new dogs, but it is mostly out of excitement. To be so little, he has a big bark! Frankie does ok on a leash, but pulls as he just wants to explore. Frankie is all boy, and keeping this white coat is a challenge. He likes to run through mud, stick his face in the dirt, and roll in smelly things. He needs his eyes and chin wiped daily to help with staining.
Frankie is on a balanced raw dog food diet. He was weened on raw and when he got older we tried to put him on kibble but he had constant ear infections and his tear stains got really bad. We switched him back to raw and no more ear infections and his eyes are much better! He should stay on this diet or something similar (like perhaps the Farmers Dog). The extra you spend in food will save you from frequent vet visits. If you have questions about raw or his diet, please speak with us. If you insist on dry kibble, then Frankie is not the dog for you.
Frankie is such a delight to have around and does not disappoint when it comes to fun and a great personality. Frankie would really enjoy having a playmate. He has been great with the foster's 2 year old granddaughter, so kids are in his list of most liked people, and he also has been great around dogs of all sizes.
Frankie's adoption is $550. He gets neutered Nov 23, current on all vaccines, microchipped, and on flea and heart worm prevention.
