Franky is a delightful boy bursting with life and affection! He thrives on playtime, enjoys a good cuddle, and loves accompanying his humans on walks or runs. This goofy yet obedient pup is already leash trained, knows basic commands, is fully housebroken, and expertly crate trained. He's quite the homebody too, enjoying lounging and even watching TV with you. Franky is a quick learner, eager to pick up new commands and tricks, and would flourish with someone keen on continuing his education.
As a Cane Corso and Boxer mix, Franky embodies a unique blend of loyalty, intelligence, and playful energy. He is dog-selective, meaning slow and proper introductions with other canines are essential, ideally with professional guidance. His interactions with cats are currently unknown. Due to his insecurity and occasional fearfulness, Franky would thrive in a calm, consistent home without young children, as their presence might heighten his stress levels.
Franky is seeking an experienced adopter who understands fearful dog behavior and can provide a serene environment. It's crucial that new family members, friends, or strangers are introduced very gradually over several weeks, allowing Franky to build trust and feel secure. Consistent kennel training is a must from day one and should be maintained when unfamiliar visitors are present. With the right patient and understanding family, Franky is ready to blossom into a confident and cherished companion.
