Meet Frankie! He's a two-year-old, 80 lbs. Great Pyrenees mix who is looking for a new home. A friendly neighbor took him in after his owners left him behind, but they travel extensively and aren't a great long-term match for Frankie.
He's neutered, vaccinated and will be microchipped before adoption. Frankie tested positive for heartworms and is being treated via the slow-kill method. This method doesn't require down time or restrictions and avoids potentially harmful side effects of traditional treatment.

Here's more information from his owners:
Frankie is a sweet, affectionate, and loving dog who enjoys being close to his people. He loves ear scratches, cuddling on the couch, and will happily sit in your lap whenever he gets the chance. He is potty trained, crate trained, does well with grooming, and is comfortable both indoors and outdoors.
Frankie is fine with water, although he does not like hard splashes. He is also comfortable with a hair blower during grooming. He gets along well with other dogs and cats but would do best as a companion dog in a home without livestock due to his prey drive.
Our neighbor was mowing the lawn when Frankie bit them. We believe the lawn mower may have startled or overstimulated him, as he has shown sensitivity to loud equipment such as lawn mowers and weed eaters. The bite was an isolated incident. Since then, we have been careful to keep Frankie away from loud landscaping equipment and similar situations.
Frankie can be sensitive to loud equipment such as lawn mowers and weed eaters, so he does best when those triggers are avoided or properly managed. He may take a few minutes to warm up to new people, but once he feels comfortable, he is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and eager to be part of the family.
Our hope is to find Frankie a patient, loving home that understands his needs and will give him the stable, happy life he deserves.
