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 currently in a foster home in Austin, Texas. Frankie 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 enjoys the company of other dogs and would likely thrive with a calm canine companion to show him the ropes. With patience, love, and time, he blossoms into a loyal, affectionate companion who just wants a safe place to land.

Ideal Home

Frankie needs a patient and understanding home that can help him continue to build confidence. A quieter household with a predictable routine will help him feel secure. He would do well in a calm home with older kids who understand how to respect his boundaries. 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

Frankie is neutered. No ongoing health conditions are noted.

Training & Support

Frankie is still a bit green on leash and can be afraid, sometimes freezing. He has made great progress with house training and shows no accidents indoors. He is also well-behaved when left alone. He is learning to wait his turn for treats and already understands simple cues.
