frankie

My name is Frankie and I am now in the care of a PAWS-OK foster (and my "finder").  I was running the streets in the rain in early July when a lady found me but couldn't keep me.  I looked like a wet MOP!  I had matts almost as big as my head, I smelled awful and was super skinny.  Obviously I had been on my own for a while.  The lady who found me couldn't keep me and that's when my foster parents stepped in.  They called their good friend Mary at PAWS-OK and asked if I could be one of their rescues.  PAWS-OK is traditionally a "cat" rescue, but occasionally they take in dogs in special circumstances - I guess that makes me "special"!  I am a little weird in a few ways.  Even though I am 9 years old, I don't know what toys are, or treats are either.  I wasn't neutered when they found me and suspect I belonged to a breeder who dumped me.  Mary groomed me and got rid of the matts.  Then she took me to the PAWS-OK vet who neutered me, tested me for heartworm (neg), gave me all my vaccinations and cleaned my teeth too!  Quite the spa day!  I am really attached to my foster dad and sometimes "rumble" (not a full growl - no teeth) when people approach me because I am protecting dad LOL!  My foster brother just looks at me and scoops me up off the ground when I rumble at him - and then I melt! I am a committed lap dog and will follow you everywhere.  I am also crate trained and walk (pretty well) on a leash.  I will take advantage of an open door so my new owner(s) need to keep an eye on me.
