About Franklin

Adoption Fee: $50
American Staffordshire Terrier mix
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Franklin is a sweet, chill boy who loves his people. He is potty and house trained and is very well behaved. He is very loving and would be a perfect companion for you if you are looking for a low maintenance couch potato who will keep you company as you work from home. This sweet boy did not have a happy start to his life. He was�%A0 found severely emaciated and neglected, and needed a lot of loving care. He is feeling much better now, but still needs to gain more weight and see a dentist. He is neutered, currently weighs 58 pounds and looks like a cane corso mix/pittie mix. He is steadily on the mend and his bloodwork results were overall well. The vet thought he might be around 6 years old, but potentially older, as it is really hard to estimate with neglected dogs. His skin is healing, but he needs to continue medicated baths and receive good nutrition for his fur to shine again. He potentially has low hearing as he doesn't react to loud sounds (doorbell, fireworks etc). He loves going on walks but�%A0 we keep them short as he limps a little. He is very well behaved on the leash, does not react to bikes, cars, cats or other dogs. He prefers being with people at all times and will whine if he's left alone but has not done any damage to our home. He spends most of his day sleeping on his dog bed in the living room. He has not met children yet and we do not recommend children under 8 due to his size and food drive. Frankie would be better as a single dog, or you would need to separate him from your dog around food and treats. He still remembers his hungry days, and food is very valuable to him. We would be happy to tell you more in person. We've fostered him since October and would've loved to continue caring for him but I'm in between jobs and cannot afford to continue his care right now. He deserves to be in a home that can provide a happy and healthy life for him. We require a rehoming fee of $50.
