Story
Meet Frankie – The Fun-Loving Shepherd Husky Mix
Frankie is a 10-month-old Shepherd Husky mix with a heart as big as his playful personality! This sweet boy looks like a little coyote with his lean build and soulful puppy eyes that will melt your heart. Frankie’s journey began in the Fresno area, where he was surrendered after his homeless owner could no longer care for him. Despite his rough start, Frankie is thriving in foster care and ready to find a forever home that matches his zest for life.
Why Frankie Will Steal Your Heart
Playful and Happy: Frankie is full of puppy energy and always ready to play. Whether it’s with dogs, kids, or toys, he’s the life of the party. Adventurous Spirit: He’d be a fantastic jogging or hiking buddy for an active family that loves the outdoors.
Friendly and Social: Frankie loves everyone he meets, including other dogs and children. He’s also tested OK with cats, but any feline friends would need to be very tolerant of his playful nature.
Compact Yet Mighty: At 48 pounds, he’s lean and lanky but may gain another 5–10 pounds as he fills out.
What Frankie Needs in a Forever Home
Commitment to Training: Frankie is eager to learn and would thrive with a family dedicated to teaching him basic manners and structure. He’s still learning personal space and could use guidance to channel his enthusiasm.
Active Lifestyle:
An ideal home would keep Frankie busy with regular exercise, whether it’s daily runs, long hikes, or trips to the dog park.
Love and Patience:
Frankie has so much love to give, but he’s still a puppy at heart. He needs a family ready to embrace his goofy, energetic side while helping him grow into a well-mannered adult.
Space to Roam:
A home with a yard where Frankie can stretch his legs and explore would be perfect for him.
Progress in Foster Care:
House and Crate Training: Frankie is making great progress with both and is eager to please his humans.
Healthy and Thriving:
While he’s slightly underweight now, with the right care and nutrition, he’ll be at his ideal weight in no time.
Frankie is a sweet, happy, and loving pup who just needs a little direction to reach his full potential. If you’re looking for an active, affectionate adventure buddy with a heart of gold, Frankie could be your perfect match! Could you be the one to give him the forever family he deserves?
