Frankie's Story

Frankie is a super fun, athletic guy with lots of unconditional love to give. He came to us as a stray and was never claimed. He is a happy, social dog that gets along very well with people. Frankie loves walks, car rides and spending time doing anything that entertains his brain. He does good with dogs his same size but is not suited for a home with small dogs. A slow intro and supervision will ensure the best outcome for a lifelong friendship with all dogs. Frankie has a very high prey drive and can not live in a home with cats, small animals or poultry. He has proven that he will hurt and even kill anything that is small. His activity level is medium to high and he will need ways to keep busy to reduce bad behavior because of boredom. A daily walk and some fetch time will help keep him entertained and fit. A fence is not required to adopt but potential adopters should know that Frankie can climb a 4 ft fence. This guy is clean in his kennel, listens well and is a volunteer favorite. He is approximately 4 years old, vaccinated and neutered. He was named after Frank Sinatra because of his blue eyes.<br/><br/>Please Note:<br/><br/>* Adoptions cannot be done through the mail or done as a gift for someone else. The actual adopter must fill out an application and meet with the Adoption Coordinator.<br/>* Adopters must be at least 21 years old.<br/>* The animal must reside at the address on the contract. <br/>* We cannot adopt outside of Iowa as it is too difficult to do home checks and review applications.<br/>* We give priority to local adopters who own their home and have completed an adoption application. <br/>* Adoptable pets can be seen by appointment after the adoption application has been sent in.

Creston Animal Rescue Effort/Creston City Pound's Adoption Policy
Animals are available for adoption after the stray hold time has expired. The State of Iowa requires all animals adopted from this facility to be sterilized. The City of Creston also requires a Rabies vaccination. Most of the pets at the Creston City Pound are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for heartworm and feline leukemia before adoption. The adoption fee is $20.00 unless the animal has not been spayed/neutered and then there is also a $20.00 spay/neuter deposit collected at the time of adoption. * Adoptions cannot be done through the mail or done as a gift for someone else. * The actual adopter must fill out an application and meet with the Adoption Coordinator. * Adopters must be at least 21 years old. * The animal must reside at the address on the contract. * We cannot adopt outside of Iowa as it is too difficult to do home checks and review applications. * We give priority to local adopters who own their home and have completed an adoption application. We ask that you submit the adoption application prior to making appointments to meet the animals. Print one from our website at www.petfinder.com or request to have one mailed to you. The applications usually take 5 business days to review. We reserve the right to refuse an adoption to anyone. Call ahead for an appointment as the City Pound does not have regular “open” hours, leave a message at 641-782-2330 and a volunteer will return your call. Please be patient, ALL our work is done by volunteers who have full-time jobs and families. When calling please speak clearly and leave a phone number. You may also email CARE at mdowney@iowatelecom.net or message us on Facebook @ CrestonAnimals.
