Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, because Frank (Tonka) is officially searching for the next circus (family) to join for the rest of his life.
And when we say join... we mean ENTERTAIN.
Frank (Tonka) is a 1 year old, 57 pound, male English Bulldog and is the closest thing to perfect you can get. He is everything bulldog lovers dream about: rolls for days, built into Frito chip air freshener, a heart of gold, and a personality so dumb it loops right back around to being brilliant.
Let's start with the obvious: the skin.
This man has skin for miles upon miles. When Frank (Tonka) lays down, he doesn't simply lay down. He melts. Watching him settle into a couch is like witnessing a magic trick where a bulldog slowly transforms into a puddle of squishy wrinkles. Gravity takes over and the rolls simply... obey.
Now let's discuss the brain.
Frank's (Tonka) head is filled almost entirely with circus music and good intentions. One minute he's on a mission across the room like he's about to discover fire. The next minute he's standing in the middle of the floor staring at nothing because he forgot what he was doing... why he was doing it... and possibly who he is.
You can practically see the buffering symbol behind his eyes.
Despite operating on approximately one shared brain cell, Frank (Tonka) is an absolute joy to live with. He makes people laugh constantly and approaches life with the enthusiasm of someone who just discovered the world five minutes ago. Think about this happening on repeat, all day long.
Frank (Tonka) loves dogs and is very playful - but in classic bulldog fashion, he doesn't always understand subtle social cues. If a dog tells him "no thanks," Frank's strategy is usually to circle back three minutes later just to make sure they didn't change their mind. Because obviously they just needed time to reconsider.
For that reason, any dogs in the home must be tolerant with annoying, brainless bulldog tactics. If he does not have a dog sibling, he will need continued socialization, play dates and even daycare to keep him the bestest version of himself.
He also loves people and life as a whole. Truly. Everything is exciting. Everything is interesting. Everything might also be food. He will require ongoing weight management as his *goal weight* is 53 pounds.
And while he is a world-class clown, he's also a surprisingly easy and polite house guest:
Crate trained
House trained
Rides beautifully in the car
Generally a quiet, sweet boy
Always happy to snuggle but not pushy about it
Medically, Frank (Tonka) is fully vetted, neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and his cherry eye has been repaired.
Now let's have the responsible bulldog conversation:
Bulldogs are incredible dogs, but they are also as expensive as they are yeasty. Anyone applying should be familiar with the breed and prepared for their potential medical and maintenance needs. Frank (Tonka) deserves a home that understands and loves the bulldog lifestyle.
What Frank will bring to your home:
Endless laughter
A couch permanently covered in wrinkles
A best friend for your dog and family
Random mysterious missions that go nowhere
A face that makes you forgive everything
Some lucky family is about to gain the squishiest court jester on earth, and whoever it is will quickly learn that life is simply better when Frank (Tonka) is wandering around the house forgetting what he was doing.
And honestly... he probably forgot he was looking for a home too. But we'll remind him.
