FRANK NEEDS AN ONLY-DOG HOME ��%BD%9D%A4��%BD��%BD%8F This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to write. Frank isn't just a dog we need to rehome. He's my dog. He's been my shadow. If I walk into another room, Frank follows me. If I sit down, he wants to be near me. He's big, goofy, affectionate, ridiculously loyal, and he loves his people with everything he has. I never imagined there would be a day when I would have to find him another home. If love alone could fix this, Frank would never leave us. Unfortunately, Frank has had multiple serious conflicts with another dog in our household. We have invested significant time, money, and effort into professional training and behavior modification because we desperately wanted to make this work. But after five incidents involving our two other dogs in our home, we have reached the point where we can no longer safely manage the situation in a multi-dog household. Frank needs to be the only dog in his new home. I want to be completely transparent with anyone considering him. Frank has a history of aggression toward other dogs, and we will provide his complete behavioral and training history to any rescue or potential adopter. We want whoever considers Frank to know exactly what they are taking on so that both Frank and his new family can be successful. Frank completed a two-week boot camp at Unleashed Academy and did really well. He also has access to free refresher day-training classes at Unleashed Academy, which can continue with his new family. Frank has never shown aggression toward a person. With people, the Frank we know is an absolute sweetheart. He wants affection, companionship, and, more than anything, to be wherever his person is. That's what makes this so painful. The behavior that makes it unsafe for him to remain in our multi-dog home is only one part of who Frank is. It isn't the Frank who follows me around the house, makes us laugh, or just wants to lie next to me. To make his transition a little easier, Frank will go to his new home with his crate and bed, so he'll have familiar things with him from the beginning. We will also provide four months of Simparica Trio, his monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. ��%BD%9D%A4��%BD��%BD%8F WE ARE ALSO PROVIDING A $300 PETSMART GIFT CARD TO FRANK'S NEW FAMILY! ��%BD%9D%A4��%BD��%BD%8F We want to help ease the financial burden of welcoming Frank into a new home. The gift card is intended to help his adopter purchase food, toys, treats, and anything else he may need as he settles in. Our goal is to give Frank and his new family every opportunity for a successful transition. We aren't looking for the first person willing to take him. We're looking for the right person. Someone experienced and responsible who understands his history, can provide the structure he needs, and can give him a home where he can be the only dog. Frank is currently safely boarded while we search for that person. The hardest part of all of this is accepting that the right home for Frank isn't ours anymore. I wish more than anything that it could be. Giving him up isn't what I want to do. It's what I have to do to keep all of our dogs safe while hopefully giving Frank the chance to thrive in a home where he doesn't have to share his space with another dog. If you have experience with dogs who need to be the only dog in the home, know a reputable rescue that may be able to help, or genuinely believe you could provide Frank with the safe, structured home he needs, please reach out. Please share his story. I love this dog, and more than anything, I want his story to end with him finding someone he can follow from room to room for the rest of his life. ��%BD%9D%A4��%BD��%BD%8F
