Frankie Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler & Shepherd Mix Olympia, WA

Meet Frankie – Your New Adventure Buddy

Keep reading if you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and easygoing companion. Frankie is a one-year-old, 33-pound Cattle Dog/German Shepherd mix who’s the perfect blend of playful energy and cuddle buddy.

- Dog social? Absolutely. She loves every dog she meets and plays like a pro.
- Ok with cats? Yes. She tried to play with our cat but lost interest when ignored.
- People friendly? 100 percent, just give her a few minutes to warm up.
- Leash manners? Great, unless her friends are playing—then she whines because she wants in on the fun.
- House manners? Solid. She’s been left alone (with other dogs) for hours without issue, though she might steal a sock if you leave it out.
- Foodie? Big time. She gobbles up her dinner and will gladly “help” finish yours if given the chance.
- Cuddler? Yes. She’ll put her head in your lap or snuggle against you on the couch.
- Chill time? Loves to nap after a good walk and will sleep quietly while you work.
- Shares nicely? For sure. No resource guarding here—she’ll let you take food or toys right out of her mouth without a fuss.
- Low-maintenance grooming? Yes. Her short coat means minimal shedding, and she’s easy to groom. Even for nail trims, she just lies there patiently.

Frankie is happy, healthy, vaccinated, spayed, and ready to be your new best friend. She’s not just looking for a home—she’s looking for a partner in adventure who will give her the love, activity, and companionship she deserves.

Think you’re the right match? Fill out an application and come meet her. She's currently living with us and our pack of dogs in Olympia, Washington.
