Frankie's Story

Meet Frankie! Frankie is a 5-year-old, 16-pound Lhasa Apso with a white/cream coat and a heart that’s even bigger than his personality. He arrived in Dogworks foster care after being found as a stray—mangled, hungry, and in need of help. Thanks to love and care, Frankie has made an incredible comeback and is now ready to find a forever home of his own. Don’t let his age fool you—Frankie still acts like a playful puppy! He’s happy, energetic, affectionate, and full of life. He loves playing fetch, going for walks, riding in the car, and curling up with you to cuddle or sleep in bed. Once Frankie bonds with you, he’s incredibly loyal and loves to stay close. Frankie can be a bit skittish when meeting new people, but once he warms up, he becomes very attached. He’s great with cats and does well with other dogs as long as they’re laid-back. He adores older kids and currently lives happily with a teenager, but a home without young children would be best due to his energy and playful mouthing. An ideal home for Frankie would have a fully fenced yard with no escape routes, as he’s an expert squirrel chaser and will look for exits. He’s active throughout the day and needs regular playtime and attention to keep his energy in check. Frankie is potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, and knows several commands including sit, stay, come, leave it, drop it, and no. He responds to verbal correction (even if he sulks a little afterward). Frankie does have a few fears—loud noises, plastic bags, and the vacuum—but when scared, he’ll either try to hide or seek comfort with cuddles. Overall, he’s a sweet, funny, loving little guy who thrives on companionship and affection. If you’re looking for a playful, cuddly, loyal companion who will keep you laughing and always by your side, Frankie may be the perfect match for you. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $350 Please follow the link below for his adoption application. Note: applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio. http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy

Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
