Frank is a smart, confident, athletic mixed-breed dog with a big personality and an exceptional love of toys—especially balls and tug. He enjoys interactive play, can entertain himself, and has an excellent off-switch when activity ends. After four shelter-system placements, Frank is ready for a stable home that will stick.

Ideal Home

Frank is best suited to an adult-only home with an adopter who enjoys active dogs and wants to build a relationship through training, structured walks, play, and enrichment.

• Compatibility with cats and other small animals has not been sufficiently assessed, so a home without them is preferred unless further evaluation is completed.
• Frank has not shown aggression toward children, dogs, or cats, but his intense toy drive and interest in movement can lead to accidental hand contact or light mouthing when people run. His trainer therefore recommends an adult-only household.
• He enjoys other dogs but may become overstimulated during prolonged, high-intensity play and benefits from breaks and redirection.

Ongoing Health

Frank’s medical conditions and health testing were not described. He is vaccinated and neutered.

Training & Support

Frank recently completed a two-week professional board-and-train program with a certified trainer. He has decent responses to sit, down, stay, come, and wait for release, and is working on place. His training has focused on impulse control, disengagement, toy release, recall, waiting for access to preferred activities, and responding appropriately to fast movement.

Frank is comfortable with extensive physical handling, and no human-directed reactivity or significant resource guarding was observed. He is typically quiet in his kennel, settles when activity ends, and does not require constant entertainment or attention.
