Frankie Dachshund Houston, TX

Meet Frankie! Frankie is a 14-year-old black and tan male dachshund. Don't let his age fool you. He is a healthy boy and has a lot of love left to give.

Sadly, Frankie's owner passed away and he was gloomy for quite a while. He initially refused to walk on a leash or acknowledge a toy. Today, he loves his morning and evening walks with our two dogs and has such a youthful, bouncy gait--nothing cuter! He excitedly alerts on squirrels, but realizes that his squirrel-chasing days are probably over and settles quickly back into the rhythm of the walk. There's something so precious about seeing him pick up a toy and carry it around with him now.

He also has come to adore cuddling on the couch or in bed. He gets a little jealous when our dogs get attention, but is becoming more secure with time.

Frankie still doesn't like being alone and will follow his fosters around to be in the same room. They suspect that's because of the sudden loss of his owner and believe it may take time for him to feel independent. Frankie is good with dogs and the children he meet on his walks. Please consider adopting sweet senior dog, Frankie as he needs a loving home to spend his final years.

Frankie is a 14 year old male dauschund. He weighs 13lbs.
