Frankie American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Santa Cruz, CA

Get a load of FRANKIE!?

He wanted to really showcase his chill side for the photographer -- we think he nailed it.? Frankie also has a playful puppy side because he's still a young buck, only a little over a year. Because this handsome 50-ish pound mix-of-many-things came to a local partner as a stray, we have very little history of what his pre-shelter life looked like.

But to get a bit more intel on this beautiful boy, we recently found a wonderful foster home for him! We'll report back when we know more but as of now, it's clear he really enjoys other dogs (especially those he can rough-house with). Frankie also loves his toys -- and squeekier the better!

He seems a bit nervous about the world in general, as if he didn't see a whole lot of it in his previous life. But with a little help from his well-adjusted foster sibling, he's already quickly gaining confidence in the short time he's been in foster! We can't wait to see this guy blossom.?

Can you give him the garden (home) to grow in?! Let us know by filling out an online Adopter's Profile and we'll be in touch!?
