Frankie

Meet Frankie, a gentle soul with a big heart who's ready for his second chance! This 2.5-year-old, 70-pound neutered male American Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull mix is a quiet, tender-hearted pup. At first, he may seem shy and reserved, but once he feels safe, his sweet and affectionate personality shines through. He isn't demanding of attention; instead, he quietly seeks comfort by simply being near someone he trusts. Frankie was found tied up with his sister, and he's been slowly learning that the world can be kind. He is cautious and prefers to observe from the sidelines until he's ready to join in. He finds a lot of comfort with other dogs and would likely thrive with a calm canine companion.

Ideal Home

Frankie needs a patient and understanding home. He would do well in a calm household with older kids who understand how to respect his boundaries. A quieter household with a predictable routine will help him feel secure as he continues to gain confidence. A securely fenced yard is ideal for him, and his forever home will need secure fencing and supervision outdoors due to his curiosity and tendency to be an escape artist.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

Frankie is still a bit green on leash and is afraid of it, sometimes freezing. He needs continued positive reinforcement and patience to build confidence. He has shown some nervousness around new people but is not reactive. He is a quick learner and understands simple cues like "no" and "food."
