Meet Frank – A Big, Affectionate Boy Looking for His Perfect Match Date of Birth: 10 December 2024 Location: Newmachar, Aberdeenshire Size: Large Neutering: Frank has not yet been castrated. Castration will be a requirement of his adoption contract. Frank’s Personality Frank is incredibly affectionate and thrives on human connection. He loves being close to his people, enjoying cuddles, attention and physical touch. He is happiest when he feels included and part of family life. He is a real cuddle bug who loves belly rubs and being as close to you as physically possible when relaxing. Don’t be surprised if this big boy tries to squeeze himself right beside you – personal space isn’t really Frank’s strong point! He is intelligent, inquisitive and has a playful streak. He can be a bit of a cheeky boy, particularly when he gets bored or finds himself without company! He has a lovely nature and has been wonderful with children. He is also accustomed to living alongside a family cat. Around other dogs Frank really is a very docile, gentle boy and doesn’t look for confrontation or trouble. If anything, he can be a little sensitive when other dogs aren’t receptive to him. He is quite happy to have a little sniff and say hello before carrying on with his walk. Frank’s Favourite Things • Walks: Frank absolutely loves getting out and about, particularly beach walks and exploring the countryside. Dog parks: He loves the freedom of running off the lead in suitable dog parks where he can stretch his legs and enjoy himself. Teddy bears: Frank has a real soft spot for teddy bears! He will cherish his favourite teddy until it is literally falling apart. Chewing: He loves a good knuckle bone to get his teeth into. He has a funny habit of hiding his prized knuckles in the garden before bringing them indoors when he fancies working on them again. Food: Frank is very food motivated – the way to his heart is definitely through his stomach! Cuddles and belly rubs: Frank is incredibly affectionate and loves nothing more than belly rubs, fuss and physical affection. When it’s time to relax, he wants to be as close to his favourite human as possible. He is a big cuddly shadow who loves being right beside you. Frank’s Cheeky and Mischievous Side Frank has one particular challenge: he really doesn’t enjoy being left alone. This is when his mischievous side tends to come out! When left without company, Frank’s main mischief revolves around food and kitchen cupboards. He has a talent for accessing kitchen cupboards, emptying their contents and taking items outside into the garden. His particular targets are food cupboards and kitchen appliances such as the air fryer and toaster, which are stored inside cupboards but which he can still manage to access. It is important to explain that Frank is not generally destructive around the home. He does not target personal belongings such as shoes, clothing or furniture. His behaviour is very specifically focused on kitchen cupboards, food and anything he thinks might contain something interesting or edible! This behaviour tends to happen when he is left alone and becomes unsettled. He would benefit from a home where someone is around for most of the day, alongside suitable management of food storage and kitchen appliances. Travelling Frank is generally good travelling in the car and is happy to accompany you on adventures. However, after a journey he can sometimes experience a slightly upset stomach, so this is something worth being mindful of. Food and Feeding Frank is extremely food obsessed and very enthusiastic when it comes to mealtimes! He has never shown food aggression or guarding behaviour towards people. However, given the opportunity, he will happily try his luck at helping himself to another pet’s dinner! Feeding separately or supervising mealtimes would be sensible to prevent him from helping himself to food that isn’t his. Frank’s Ideal Home Has plenty of time to spend with him and can offer companionship throughout the day. Enjoys getting outdoors for walks, beach adventures and countryside exploring. Understands the needs of a large, affectionate and intelligent dog. Can provide consistency, patience and reassurance. Is happy to have a big cuddly shadow following them around! Most importantly, Frank needs a home where he isn’t expected to spend long periods alone. Having company is a huge part of his happiness. Our family circumstances have changed considerably, and my working commitments now mean I am working 12-hour shifts at the hospital. Previously, I worked from home and was able to be with Frank throughout the day or take him with me when I couldn’t be at home. Sadly, that is no longer possible, and he is struggling with the change. This decision has not been made because we don’t love him or because he is a bad dog. Quite the opposite. We recognise that his needs are no longer being met in the way they deserve to be, and we want to put his happiness and wellbeing first. We want to find a home where he can enjoy his walks, cherish his teddy bears, work his way through his knuckle bones and, most importantly, have someone there to give him all the love and attention he deserves. Offer Frank His Forever Home? Frank is being rehomed through Saving and Rehoming Strays SCIO, registered charity SC051584.

Could that someone be you?
