Frankie - Labrador Retriever and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Parma, Ohio

Meet Frankie! Frankie is a handsome 52-pound Lab mix who is estimated to be 2-3 years old. This sweet boy arrived at our shelter with his brother, CJ, after their beloved owner passed away. Their owner's landlord lovingly cared for both dogs until they could be safely surrendered to our shelter.

Frankie has been a wonderful guest since arriving. He's happiest when he's outside, whether he's stretching his legs, exploring, or simply soaking up the fresh air. With his medium energy level, Frankie loves to play, run, and would thrive with an active family that will include him in life's adventures. Hiking trails, trips to the park, and splashing around in the water all sound like Frankie's idea of a perfect day!

This smart boy already knows several commands, including "sit," "quiet," and "outside." He can be strong on leash, so he'll do best with someone who can continue his training and help him channel his enthusiasm. A fenced yard would be ideal, giving him a safe place to run and play.

Frankie is reported to be dog-friendly. As always, if you have a resident canine, a meet-and-greet is required to ensure everyone is a perfect match. He has not been exposed to cats, and his compatibility with children is currently unknown.

Frankie is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, which means you can welcome him home now while he finishes his veterinary care with the shelter. During this time, he'll receive his vaccines, neuter, microchip, and heartworm testing—everything he needs to begin his next chapter safe, healthy, and loved.
