Frankie (ADOPTED!)'s Story

**FRANKIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!* Fabulous, friendly, free-spirited, and downright adorable Frankie girl is searching for a fun-loving forever family. This sweet lady was rescued from an overburdened animal control facility in rural Kentucky. She is estimated to be between 2-3 years of age and weighs just 35 pounds, a fantastic medium size! <br/>Her appearance suggests that she has Shepherd, Cattledog, Terrier, and possibly Boxer ancestry somewhere in her family tree, but her exact breed mix remains uncertain without a DNA test. Frankie is most likely a mix of several breeds, a true super mutt! Frankie is an absolute hoot and is the life of the party wherever she goes. She exhibits the boisterous, enthusiastic, clownish personality that terriers are known for, and she would love to find guardians who are just as adventurous, energetic, silly, and goofy as she is. Frankie has yet to meet a stranger and greets every human and canine she meets as a long-lost friend. She's a happy, social dog who always has a smile on his face. Her zest for life is contagious, and it's hard to be in a bad mood in the presence of this goof. She did not have much formal training before arriving at Pal's Place. She can still be a bit rambunctious and jumpy when excited, so homes with older children who will not be knocked over or overwhelmed by her exuberant greetings will be the best match for her. Frankie's ideal home will be with guardians who can help her work on her manners and basic obedience, as well as provide her with plenty of exercise and playtime throughout the day. Like most young working and herding breeds of dogs, Frankie will thrive in a home that can provide her with a predictable routine, structure, consistency, boundaries, and plentiful mental and physical stimulation. Frankie is a quick study and is making significant progress in her foster home. She's extremely intelligent, attentive, motivated, and eager to please, and teaching her new things is a lot of fun.<br/>Guardians with a sense of humor are a must because this girl loves to make her humans laugh!! She is being fostered in a home with several other dogs and gets along well with her housemates. She is crate-trained and housebroken when kept on a regular schedule. Frankie is spayed, microchipped, up to date with vaccines, and started on flea and heartworm prevention. Frankie is currently in a foster home in Chicago and can be seen by appointment only after an application has been submitted and approved. For more information or an application, please email palsplace1@hotmail.com or visit palsplacerescue.org. Please check your spam or junk folder regularly if you are waiting for a response; our correspondence may sometimes end up in these folders.<br/><br/>• Frankie's adoption fee is $375. This donation helps to cover any necessary medical care to prepare her for adoption. Pal's Place relies solely on donations to care for the animals in our rescue. Your donation also helps save other animals like Frankie from euthanasia.<br/><br/>• Please email Palsplace1@hotmail.com for an adoption application and put the dog's name in the subject line.

Pal's Place's Adoption Policy
Pal's Place is a foster-based canine rescue serving Chicago and surrounding areas. We do adopt out of state, provided potential adopters are willing to make the trip to Chicago to meet the dog in person before adoption. We do not ship or transport our animals. We rescue dogs from euthanasia at overturned and open-intake animal control facilities. They are placed in foster homes, evaluated, and fully vetted before adoption. If interested in adoption, please read the information below, outlining our fees and process for adoption. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, wormed, and vaccinated before being placed for adoption. An adoption application and contract are required. Our adoption fees vary by dog but are generally as follows: Senior Dogs $275 and up Adult dogs $375 and up Puppies (under twelve months) $475 and up These fees help to cover the expenses of vetting, feeding, and housing the dogs we rescue. We rely solely on donations to continue our work in rescuing needy dogs. HOW TO ADOPT: •Step 1: Submit an application through our website at http://palsplacerescue.org/adopt/ or email palsplace1@hotmail.com for our application in PDF or Word format. Be sure to fully complete the application and ensure contact information for your veterinarian (if you have current dogs/cats in the home or within the past five years) and/or landlords (if renting) is included. We do check vet references, and we do verify if dogs are allowed in rental units. Omitting this information will slow the application process down. Pal's Place has no shelter facility. All our dogs are in foster homes or boarding facilities while they await adoption. Dogs can be seen by appointment once the rescue has approved an application. Any information we know about our available dogs is listed in their bios below this information. Please read the dog's bio thoroughly, we will not respond to emailed questions regarding our dogs if the information is already provided in their bio. • Step 2: A volunteer will do their best to respond to your application within 24-72 hours of submission to schedule a meeting if approved. WE CANNOT HOLD DOGS FOR ANY REASON. The sooner we place a dog into a loving forever home, the sooner we can bring another in desperate need of rescue into our program. Please do not apply unless you are ready to welcome a dog into your home within three days of applying. If you are expecting a response, please check your spam or junk folder, as correspondence from us may end up there. If you haven't received a response within 72 hours, please email Samantha@palsplacerescue.org to verify your application was received. • Step 3: Meet the dog! All adults living in the home must be present at your appointment. If all parties agree the dog is a good match for your home at the time of the visit, be prepared to take your new best friend home with you the same day. We send all our dogs home with a collar, a small bag of the food they have been eating, and their medical paperwork. An adoption contract and disclosure form will be completed at that time, and the adoption fee will be collected (each dog's individual fee is listed in the bio). Adoption fees can be paid via cash, check, Zelle, PayPal, or credit card via Stripe. In the case of litters of puppies, we can no longer hold a particular puppy for visits due to a huge increase in no-shows and last-minute cancelations of meet-and-greet appointments over the past several months. An effort is made to schedule visits with puppies in the order the approved applications were received. Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake, high-kill shelters in Kentucky. We often have very little information about the dog's past before rescue. Breed and adult size are often educated guesstimates, and we cannot guarantee either. We are a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Monetary donations are always needed and welcomed and fully tax-exempt in accordance with the law.
