It is always hard to have senior animals in shelter, they deserve a loving home over being kenneled.<br/><br/>At an estimated 12 -13 years old, Frank has perfected the art of enjoying life's simple pleasures. A comfy bed, a tasty snack, some gentle affection, and a leisurely stroll are all it takes to make this handsome old gentleman happy.<br/><br/>Frank has been friendly with the people he has met. He's an easy-going companion who would much rather spend his days lounging beside his people than getting into any trouble. Well... unless there's an unattended snack nearby. In that case, all bets are off! Frank is a dedicated food enthusiast and will happily relieve you of treats or tasty morsels if given the opportunity.<br/><br/>Despite his age, Frank recently received a health check that came back with encouraging results. While he has some arthritis and the expected lumps and bumps that come with being a senior dog, his bloodwork was normal and he still has plenty of love left to give.<br/><br/>Frank really needs a home where he can enjoy the comfort and dignity every senior dog deserves. The shelter is no place for a sweet old man to spend his golden years. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share quiet days, cozy evenings, and gentle walks, Frank may be the perfect addition to your family.<br/><br/>Open your heart and home to Frank, and give this deserving senior the soft landing he's been waiting for.<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>HOW TO APPLY?<br/><br/>If you would like to meet Frank, please submit an inquiry from Petfinder by clicking "Start your inquiry" on this page.<br/><br/>Or reach out directly via email to: animal.shelter@vancouver.ca<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>All adult dogs at Animal Services have veterinary health checks, and are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and defleaed (if necessary) before going to their new homes. <br/>Children: Yes 15+<br/>Cats: Yes<br/>Dogs: No <br/>Training Needs: <br/>Adoption Fee: $119<br/><br/>If you live in the City of Vancouver, you will also need to purchase a dog licence.<br/><br/>For more information on our adoption process, go to vancouver.ca/adopt
