Franklin ~ American Staffy X Foxy (Trial 26/4/15)

G’day guys, I’m Franklin and I am looking for a new ‘buddy’! I was born just before Christmas and am the plucky son of an American Staffordshire Terrier, and a Fox Terrier. I kind of look a bit like a Beagle though, almost. I think I will be about that size, not any bigger.

Although I am little, I am a confident boy. I tend to stay away from the cats as they just hiss at me (not worth the trouble but they don’t bother me), and I like to tell my big foster sister Zoe the labradoodle that she can’t bowl me over all the time – I am no puppy’s fool! I do, however, love my little sister Abigail and am happy to snuggle up with her and my foster mum on the couch for a snooze.

My foster mum thinks I am a real boy. Not only do I look like a tough little man, I am not really afraid of anything. I am a good boy to bath and have my nails clipped, and I will let you put cologne on me if you insist. I would make a pretty good alarm dog as I will let you know when something unusual is going on around the house. My foster mum says I am much cheaper and cooler than an alarm system.

Although I am already 4 months old, I am picking up my toilet training pretty well and am getting a hang of this ‘sit’ thing. I’m a pretty cluey lad and most importantly I am desperate to make my foster mum happy. I am keen to find my forever home so I can learn everything from them and make them happy. I love seeing my people smile and can’t stop wagging my tail.

I would love to go to a home where I get to be the boss. I can share with other dogs but I love to spend time with my people. I don’t have to be indoors all the time but I need some couch snuggle time each day (just don’t tell the other boys). I can’t wait to meet you, my new people.

Cheers, Frankie
P.S. My sister, Abigail http://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/360651 \ needs a home too! Tell your friends.
