Frankie's Story

Frankie is a boy who is all retriever. He is playful but also loves a good cuddle. He loves to fetch and throw around toys, and spend time with his people. He is dog friendly and is currently being fostered in a home with other dogs. Though he does display some resource guarding among other dogs when toys are involved, so we would recommend a home that is able to manage these behaviors, or a home with no other dogs for Frankie at this time. His previous home did have a toddler that was there most of the week and he did well with her! Frankie is very well mannered in a crate and is potty trained. He is friendly with strangers and guests and so far has been doing well on the leash but has had more practice in his yard. Frankie has a history of food allergies that is well managed on a special diet (which he loves!) so his forever home will have to keep in mind that this is a higher cost than your typical dog food. He is currently on Royal Canin HP Dry Dog Food Diet. Frankie is being fostered in Chicago and if accepting applications in or within 3 hours of Chicago. If you have any questions before applying please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org.
