Frankie (Fun!)

My story

Fabulous, friendly, free-spirited, and downright adorable Frankie girl is searching for a fun-loving forever family. This sweet lady was rescued from an overburdened animal control facility in rural Kentucky. She is estimated to be between 2-3 years of age and weighs just under 40 pounds, a fantastic medium size! Her appearance suggests that she has Shepherd, Terrier, and possibly Boxer ancestry somewhere in her family tree, but her exact breed mix remains uncertain without a DNA test. Frankie is most likely a mix of several breeds, a true super mutt! Frankie is an absolute hoot and is the life of the party wherever she goes. She exhibits the boisterous, enthusiastic, clownish personality that terriers are known for, and she would love to find guardians who are just as adventurous, energetic, silly, and goofy as she is. Frankie has yet to meet a stranger and greets every human and canine she meets as a long-lost friend. She's a happy, social dog who always has a smile on his face. Her zest for life is contagious, and it's hard to be in a bad mood in the presence of this goof. She did not have much formal training before arriving at Pal's Place. She can still be a bit rambunctious and jumpy when excited, so homes with older children who will not be knocked over or overwhelmed by her exuberant greetings will be the best match for her. Frankie's ideal home will be with guardians who can help her work on her manners and basic obedience, as well as provide her with plenty of exercise and playtime throughout the day. Like most young working and herding breeds of dogs, Frankie will thrive in a home that can provide her with a predictable routine, structure, consistency, boundaries, and plentiful mental and physical stimulation. Frankie is a quick study and is making significant progress in her foster home. She's extremely intelligent, attentive, motivated, and eager to please, and teaching her new things is a lot of fun. Guardians with a sense of humor are a must because this girl loves to make her humans laugh!! She is being fostered in a home with several other dogs and gets along well with her housemates. She is crate-trained and housebroken when kept on a regular schedule. Frankie is spayed, microchipped, up to date with vaccines, and started on flea and heartworm prevention. Frankie is currently in a foster home in Chicago and can be seen by appointment only after an application has been submitted and approved.
