Frankie - German Shorthaired Pointer Dog for Adoption in Norwalk, Connecticut

Frankie came to us from a local Animal Control after a difficult start in life. Sadly, this handsome boy was abandoned twice, with the most recent situation leaving him at a local fire department. Despite his rough beginning, Frankie is an incredibly sweet dog who loves being with his people and soaking up attention. True to his German Shorthaired Pointer breed, he is an active, intelligent boy who thrives when he has a job to do and plenty of opportunities to stay busy. Frankie is currently working on his doggy manners, and it's clear he may not have had much training in the past. He is eager to learn and will benefit from a patient family willing to help him continue building confidence and skills. Kennel life has been stressful for Frankie, and he can be quite anxious in that environment. He is a dog who needs space, exercise, and mental stimulation to truly shine. With the right home and plenty of activity, Frankie has all the potential to become a loyal and loving companion.
