Frankie has been Adopted!!!

You read that correctly!  My sweetest pup found her forever home!  It didn't take nearly long enough...she was such a pleasure to have around!  But I already know that she's going to be very happy with her new family.

Now we just need to find homes for Owen and Finley (and my new foster...info to come tomorrow...Mini)!

Updated 14Jul16

Petfinder: Finley's Petfinder Profile
Age: ~1 year
Weight: ~11lbs
Food:   1C Purina One dry food

Good with Men: yes, but she is shy when first meeting people
Good with Women: yes, but she is shy when first meeting people
Good with Children:unknown
Good with Dogs: yes
Good with Cats: unknown
Housebroken: No.  She is starting to hover near the door when she needs to go out, but she isn't 100% consistent yet.
Crate Trained: Yes.
Leash Trained: No.  I have been leaving her leash on while I'm at home so she is getting used to it being there.  She will let me lead her, but she isn't a great walker yet.
Other Skills: None yet.
Personality: Finley wants to please everybody.  She seeks out praise and attention.  She is a little shy when first meeting new people, but she will not take long to become your best friend!  She isn't high energy generally, but she has her moments.  Especially outdoors.  She loves to run and run and run!
Toys:  stuffed toys and chewy, rubber toys are both favorites
Nicknames: Fin, Peanut
Ideal Family: Finley would do well in a home without children, but I think she'd prefer to have kids to play with!  She loves to run around, chasing and being chased.  A family with a fenced in yard would be ideal.

Definitive Guide to Frankie

Updated 14Jul16

Petfinder: Frankie's Petfinder Profile
Age: ~2 years
Weight: ~14lbs
Food:   1C Purina One dry food
Treats:  Frankie is very treat motivated.  She loves every kind of treat I've ever given her.
Good with Men: yes, but she is very shy when first meeting people
Good with Women: yes, but she is very shy when first meeting people
Good with Children:unknown
Good with Dogs: yes
Good with Cats: unknown
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!
