Meet Frankie, aka Frankie Four Feet! Frankie came to TRD from the Humane Society of Imperial County. Originally picked up in El Centro by animal control as a stray, Frankie was transferred over to HSOIC because it was too hot for him at animal control's facilities and he was having trouble breathing with his little smoosh face. HSOIC asked if we could take him because he seemed to have some health issues. We gladly agreed to take on this little charmer, and are we glad we did! Frankie is a fun-loving guy who goes everywhere with his foster mom. He's a hit at the office and at happy hours alike. When we first got Frankie, we brought him to our vet, where we discovered that he has a heart murmur. He also had a treatable tick-borne disease, which has since completely cleared up. We got Frankie on a regimen of heart meds and supplements for his joints, and we are pretty sure this 9-year-old is ready to live forever! Frankie is sporty and spunky and likes a good walk, but he also appreciates nice long naps (snoring required!) Frankie took to crate training immediately and has never had an accident or issue in his crate. Frankie was not neutered when TRD first took him in, and was fond of marking, well, everything. He has since been fixed and has learned that marking is not a desirable behavior, but his foster mom still keeps a close eye on him (you can't blame a guy for trying!) Frankie is a fit 21.5 pounds, and is in great shape. Frankie lives with three other dogs and gets along great with everyone. He even lets himself get goaded into wrestling with his young canine foster sister from time to time. Out and about, Frankie is a real gentleman and greets other dogs with a friendly wag of his tail (yes, a Boston with a tail!) Overall, Frankie is everything that is lovable about Bostons: he is handsome, sporty, snuggly, and just a little bit sassy. He's always got a twinkle in that one eye of his. If you would like to meet Frankie, please fill out an adoption application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet.
