Description
Frankie is a Medium male, he is neutered and up to date with his vaccinations as well as his flea and worming treatments. He has no known medical issues.
Frankie moved to his current foster home in February 2024 and is now available for Adoption after building his confidence.
Frankie can be nervous of new people he meets at first however once settles he does enjoy their company. He has never shown any aggression. Due to his anxieties he will need a quiet home who can continue building his confidence and ensure slow and sensible introductions with any visitors.
Frankie accepts a collar, harness and lead. Frankie is good on the lead and walks well however he can pull on his way home, he will need continued work on this in his new home.
Frankie is a bouncy, happy boy with a typical puppy temperament. He can jump up and will bounce around trying to play with the other dogs or people in the home. Frankie will need an active family with a secure garden who can keep him busy with lots of long walks and mental stimulation.
Frankie has been around children 2+ in his current home and previously and he has done well with them. He can be boisterous and has knocked young children over when playing in the garden. On one occasion . he ran at a 6 year old when he had his back to him and this caused a scratch on his back. Frankie can therefore live with children 8+ following sensible introductions.
Frankie currently shares his home with another dog who he is very good with, he gains lots of confidence from him and has improved lots since being in this home. Frankie may benefit from another confident dog in his new home to help build his confidence and show him the way. Frankie is very playful and will mouth while playing, another playful dog would be good for him. He often tries to initiate play using his mouth, and air snaps in excitement. He does back off if told to by another dog, he whimpers and lays down.
Frankie currently lives with a cat who he will mostly ignore however he can chase if he moves suddenly although he will stop when they give him a swipe. He can therefore live with a confident, dog savvy cat with the ability to seperate and provide slow and sensible introductions. He will need boundaries and continued work on his manners around the cats.
Frankie is toilet trained and uses a crate for travel, he doesn’t use in the home. Frankie has never been destructive however he does like to chew up his toys and de stuff his teddies, he can be left alone for long periods of time with no issues, he has been left up to 8 hours on one occasion. Frankie sleeps well overnight and will take himself off to his safe place for his bedtime biscuits after his last toilet in the garden. Frankie has previously suffered with car sickness however he does get in the car happily. The travel sickness has got much better.
Foster update Dec 24:
Frankie loves to play with the resident dog, he pulls him by his ear or scruff or neck to initiate play. They play well together, but when the resident dog has had enough he does tell Frankie. Frankie will whimper when he won't play. He will sit to have his harness put on and for treats. When he first arrived he had no interest in treats but he loves them now.
Frankie has taken time to deal with change and needs patience, he may regress in the beginning and go back to his more timid behaviour.
He is travelling better in the car, he is not fed before a car journey which helps. He has puppy pads in his crate for longer journeys so if he is sick he can easily be cleaned up.
Frankie is very affectionate now that he has built up trust. After a wet and muddy walk he’ll wait to have his legs and feet dried off but he’s not a fan of a bath so we use doggy wipes instead.
Frankie loves his treats, his favourites are chicken feet, yak chews, cheese etc. He has started to accept a treat on walks, including from other dog walkers. He does need to be kept on a short lead away from other dogs as he has a tendency to lunge towards them.
He goes to a popular country park once a week and he walks very well and ignores other dogs.
He does jump up to get attention when people have their back to him, we have been working on ignoring this behaviour and praising when he sits - he is responding well.
A new home should be prepared to continue further work with him.
Update December 25
Frankie has had some lead frustration which resulted in him biting the lead and redirecting onto the foster. The foster has since worked at muzzle training. He becomes nervous of dogs approaching him if he van not change direction. He needs continued confidence building. He's very affectionate in the home and loves having a chance to run around and lose energy. He is nervous of visitors so will require a separate safe space to help with this.
