Meet 2412-1127 Frankie

I'M A LOVER AND JUST WANT ATTENTION. FRANKIE - 9 months old, 50 pounds, nervous, dog social FRANKIE sits way back in her kennel cage. She is very nervous in this shelter environment. She was surrendered due to housing issues.  Frankie will come for treats. She is slow, cautious, and hesitant but she will approach you. It will take time for her to warm up to you but once she does, your lap will forever be taken. Frankie loves her people. She trusts completely when she does. She can be crated inside when left alone although she spent most of her previous life outside.  She is known for barking a lot so please be prepared to handle this if it continues to a new home. Frankie is looking for a family who is willing to give her time and space to get used to her new family and routine. She will need time getting used to your friends and extended family as well bc they might be familiar to you but to her, they are strangers. She will also need understanding when it comes to house training as she is still a puppy and (as mentioned above) getting used to a new home and routine. Frankie is super sweet and playful. She is loves toys.  Her sweet face says it all. Frankie is currently in a back kennel so if you don't see her, please just ask.
