Housebroken: Yes.  She hovers near the door when she wants to go outside.
Crate Trained: Yes.  If I am in the room with the crates, she will go in on her own and take a nap.
Leash Trained: No.  I have been leaving her leash on while I'm at home so she is getting used to it being there, but as soon as I pick it up she plants her butt on the ground and won't move.  We're working on it!
Other Skills: None yet.
Personality: Frankie has a very loving personality.  She comes across as very motherly to me.  She is very sweet and gentle to me and to other dogs.  When she wants to get your attention, she will gently put her paw on your arm and then gaze up at you with her big puppy dog eyes.  She is also very playful and loves to run around with her foster brother and sister.  Wrestling and tug-of-war are some of her favorite pastimes.  Occasionally, she'll get a burst of energy and just run around in circles (in the house or outside, wherever we are) for a solid 10 minutes before she wears herself out.
Toys:  stuffed toys and chewy, rubber toys are both favorites
Nicknames: Frank, Peanut
Ideal Family: Frankie would do will in a household with or without children.  She is very playful, and will need some sort of stimulation (playing with kids or dogs, lots of walks, plenty of toys, etc).  She is very shy when first meeting new people, but don't let that deter you!  It doesn't take her long to learn to trust and she will love you unconditionally from that moment on!
