Frank

Fostered in Freeport, Florida.<br/><br/>Fence required <br/><br/>Meet Frank - A 10-month-old Great Dane who truly defines the term “Gentle Giant!”<br/><br/>Frank came into rescue two months ago through absolutely no fault of his own. By just eight months old, this growing boy already weighed over 130 pounds — and that rapid, massive growth took a toll on his young body. Frank was diagnosed with osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) in both shoulders, causing luxation that made it difficult for him to properly use his front legs. The corrective surgery he needed was extensive and expensive, and sadly beyond what his family could afford.<br/><br/>Thanks to rescue, Frank successfully underwent double shoulder surgery, followed by six long weeks of strict recovery — and he handled it like an absolute champ. Just last week, he also breezed through his neuter surgery and is now officially on the road to a bright, happy future.<br/><br/>Now let’s talk about who Frank is — because this boy is pure gold.<br/><br/>Frank has never met a stranger. He is wonderful with kids of all ages, adults, dogs big and small, cats, and yes… even a resident raccoon (safely caged, of course). He doesn’t have a single mean bone in his body. Frank is affectionate, gentle, and endlessly sweet — with absolutely zero awareness of just how big he is. In his mind, he’s still a tiny lap puppy.<br/><br/>He’s currently thriving in a foster home with three young children and three other dogs. He is crate trained, potty trained, and eager to please. Despite everything he’s been through, Frank remains happy, trusting, and full of love. Keeping a giant puppy calm and quiet for six weeks of recovery was no small feat, and his foster family truly worked miracles helping him heal.<br/><br/>Because of his massive size, Frank may be prone to joint issues such as hip dysplasia later in life. His future family should be prepared to continue supporting his orthopedic health with appropriate care, weight management, and regular veterinary checkups.<br/><br/>Frank is looking for a family who will love him for exactly who he is — a big, goofy, tender-hearted soul who just wants to be close to his people. If you’ve ever dreamed of sharing your life with a truly special Great Dane, Frank may be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Frank is fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and ready for his forever home. His adoption fee is $400.<br/><br/>To apply to adopt Frank please go to www.nwflgdr.com/adopt to read over the adoption requirements before applying.<br/><br/>Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport. Approved adopters must pick up the dog in person from his or her foster parent.
