Frankie

I’m Frankie the Fierce, a brave little guy who ended up in a tough spot. I was facing a grim future for biting, but my cuteness and a kind heart saved me! My foster mom saw my picture and, thinking I was too small to be a handful, brought me home. Little did she know, I had a lot to teach her! I love making new dog friends and have enjoyed my time with foster siblings, showing them who’s boss when it comes to the comfiest spots. I might be small, but I have a big personality and a taste for the finer things, like hogging the big dog beds and dragging around toys twice my size.

Ideal Home

Frankie needs a patient and understanding human who can recognize and respect his boundaries. He thrives when his space is honored and can become stressed and angry if his will is challenged. A home that can interpret his body language and vocal warnings will be a peaceful coexistence.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned, but Frankie has a history of biting when his boundaries are pushed, which requires careful management and understanding.

Training & Support

Frankie has some firm rules: no being picked up, no haircuts or baths, and no reaching for his face without warning. He may snap or bite if these rules are broken. He enjoys walks and car rides, and will allow petting on his back if he initiates it. He may also sit with his human to watch TV, but touching is not permitted unless he signals. He's also a fierce guard dog, barking bravely at delivery trucks and even a fallen tree!
