Friendly Frankie is a great dog for an active family

Oct 18, 2023

PALM CITY — I'm a boisterous 2-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who came in as a stray. I'm extremely people friendly, smart, and curious. I may be at least partially house trained. On a day out of the shelter with an amazing volunteer family, I didn't have any accidents!

While I can be a bit of a wild-child on walks here at the shelter, I have amazing manners on walks around the neighborhood. A few very loud noises we encountered on our adventure spooked me a little, but who isn't scared of loud nail guns when you don't know what a nail gun is?

I'm dog-selective here at the shelter but I was able to see multiple different dogs without any reaction.
