In the shelter’s words

Meet Frankie! ❤️ Frankie is looking for his forever home!! Frankie is a sweet, happy, energetic boy who is always eager to please! He loves going for walks and is working hard on his leash manners. He still pulls a little, but he’s getting better every day! ‍ He also loves chasing balls, playing with soft squeaky toys, and, of course, getting a good head scratch. Treats have been limited while he recovers from his recent dental, but he absolutely LOVES peanut butter on a lick mat! Frankie is friendly, outgoing, and happiest when he is with his people. He does get fearful when left alone, so he would love a family who can be home with him a lot and give him the companionship he craves. He is currently working on crate training and is very food-motivated, which should make training him a lot of fun and fairly easy! And Frankie has a little bit of a mischievous side… He is just tall enough to stand on his hind legs and sneak a sandwich right off the countertop if given the opportunity! So, keeping those sandwiches safely out of reach is definitely going to be important. Frankie is truly the ultimate cuddle bug. He does well with cats and dogs. He loves to be wherever you are, he’ll follow you around, sit by your feet, he’s extremely loyal. He’s fully potty trained and has pretty obvious cues when he has to go outside. Frankie is such a good boy with so much love to give. ❤️ He’s ready to find his people and start the next chapter of his life! If you’re looking for a dog who will chill and watch a movie or go on a long walk, this is your pup! He takes awhile to warm up but once he does, he’ll be your best friend! Who’s ready to make Frankie part of the family? ❤️ Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
