Frank's Story

Frank came into rescue with several other dogs and puppies. We were told that their owner's insurance would not cover the number of dogs that she had so she had to rehome them to keep her insurance. We were told that Frank is about a year old and is a dachshund/pitbull mix. That does seem accurate as he has a big ole head with a long body and those adorable feet that many long bodied dogs seem to have. Frank is a very happy, bouncy boy. He is learning to walk on a leash but still could use some work (a harness would help a lot). Frank has been around other dogs his whole life so he should do fine with other dogs. He should do well with older kids. He's pretty active so toddlers and younger may not handle his energy well. We aren't sure how he would be with cats or if he has ever been around any. We do not have cats here to test him with. He rode great to the vet and seemed to enjoy his outing (until he found out why he got to go)! Frank is a friendly boy and will be a fun, medium sized companion. <br/>Frank saw the vet on 7/21/26 and was found to have no issues. He has been started on Simparica Trio for flea control and heartworm prevention with us and had a negative heartworm test. We have dewormed him twice with drontal also. Frank weighed 30 pounds as of 7/21/26. He is fully vetted now and ready to find his forever family.<br/>If interested in giving Frank his forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). Frank's adoption fee will be $200 to help cover the cost of his vetting and daily care while with us. We will only consider applicants who complete the adoption application and will determine whether the applicant would be a good fit for Frank based on the info provided in the application. If we feel that you will be a good match for him, we will set up a meet and greet appointment with you.
