About Frankie
Hi, I'm Frankie and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.
Frankie was surrendered to the Shelter with his best friend Ruby, he would love to find a home where he and Ruby can continue to keep each other company.
What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• To be allowed inside with my family
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• Happy to live with children
Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Other pets other than Ruby
My best features:
• LOVE people, gentle
• I can sit, shake hands, stay, come
• I LOVE toys
• I enjoy going on car rides
• Housetrained
Where I need to improve / Training required
• I haven't been on many walks so I do get excited and will pull strongly on the lead. Lots of walks teaching me to walk slowly and enjoy my walks will help me.
• I'm scared of thunder and firework and will bark and cry until I'm allowed inside. However, I may just be feeding off the anxiety of my friend Ruby.
• I do get anxious around other dogs and when I see them out on a walk. I will offer the freeze/flight/fight response if I feel threatened - desensitization, positive reinforcement and reassurance should help with this
ANY EXISTING DOGS AT HOME MUST COME TO THE SHELTER TO MEET FRANKIE BEFORE AN ADOPTION CAN BE APPROVED
