Frankie's Story

Meet Frankie! As a very young puppy, Frankie contracted the distemper virus. Though this often deadly illness took a toll on his body, Frankie survived — and today he’s an endearingly goofy guy who just wants to snuggle. He has a unique “bounce” in his step from the effects of the virus, but that never slows him down. Frankie is the life of the party, always ready for playtime with other dogs, yet he equally cherishes his lazy couch potato moments. If you’re looking for a resilient, fun-loving, snuggle-ready companion, Frankie is the perfect mix of heart and humor.
