When Frankie gets excited and happy, he flashes the most adorable, toothy grin you've ever seen. It's impossible not to smile right back!<br/><br/>Frankie is a happy, playful young pup with a wonderful personality and a whole lot of love to give.<br/><br/>His story began as one of 14 puppies who arrived at a rural Missouri shelter in April when they were just 2–3 months old.

Frankie has that wonderful puppy enthusiasm that makes everyday activities fun.<br/><br/>He's dog-social! Having grown up with so many siblings, Frankie has had lots of opportunities to interact and play with other dogs.<br/><br/>And did we mention that SMILE?! It's become his signature move, and it's absolutely priceless!<br/><br/>Frankie is still a young dog, so he'll benefit from a family willing to continue his training, provide regular exercise, and help him grow into the amazing adult dog we know he can become.<br/><br/>We think Frankie would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a fun-loving dog to share life's adventures with. Whether it's heading out for a walk, taking a ride in the car, playing in the yard, or simply hanging out together, Frankie is ready to be part of it all.<br/><br/>Now he's ready to be someone's best friend.<br/><br/>And just imagine coming home every day to a dog who greets you with a great big smile. <br/><br/>Frankie is still waiting for his forever family. Could it be yours? <br/><br/>Basics: He is a neutered male guessed to be around 7-8 mo old and weighs close to 27lbs. He is currently North of the River in Kansas City, MO<br/><br/>Adoption Process: <br/>- STEP 1: Please fill out our adoption application: https://www.dayofthedogs.org/adoption-application <br/><br/>- One of our team members will get back to you via phone. <br/>- Our dogs can be seen by appointment only. We do not have a facility at this time. Dogs are in foster homes or boarding <br/>- Adoption fee helps to cover transport costs, spay/neuter, initial vaccines, rabies, fecal, initial worming, and microchip. <br/>-We do not place holds on our dogs. Please do not contact us until you are prepared to adopt. NOTE: We are very good about updating the pet's profiles once adopted. So no need to write us to ask "Is he/she still available?" If the post is up, the dog is still available. <br/><br/>About Day of the Dogs<br/>Day of the Dogs is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping shelter and rescue dogs find safety, families, and second chances.<br/>Founded in 2015 by a Kansas City native, Day of the Dogs began after Pam moved to Houston, Texas and witnessed firsthand the devastating shelter overcrowding crisis facing southern communities, where some shelters have only days to find an outcome for homeless pets.<br/>Today, Day of the Dogs coordinates life-saving transports from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and other southern areas to rescue partners, shelters, fosters, and adopters in Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland and the Kansas City region — communities where adoption demand can help create better outcomes for pets in need. We also focus on long stay dogs in the Greater Kansas City and surrounding rural areas to help those pets get out of kennels and into homes.<br/>We also facilitate direct adoptions through our foster networks in both Kansas City and Northwest Indiana and partner with shelters and rescue organizations across Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, and Indiana to save more lives together.<br/>Because every open foster home creates another opportunity to save a dog, we are always looking for foster families to join our mission.<br/>Day of the Dogs operates entirely on donations. Every transport, veterinary appointment, supply purchase, and life saved is possible because of supporters who believe every dog deserves a chance.<br/>Donate or learn more: www.dayofthedogs.org
