Frankie - Maltese Dog for Adoption in Alafaya, Florida

AN INQUIRY FROM PETFINDER IS NOT AN APPLICATION! READ THE ENTIRE POST FOR INFORMATION HOW TO APPLY.

Meet Frankie! Frankie is 5-7 year old male maltese mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. Frankie arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into foster care but is ready to find a forever family to call his own. Frankie does have mild luxating patellas but they are not painful and do not require surgical intervention at this time. His foster mom says: Meet Frankie! Frankie is a sweet, happy boy who loves giving kisses and being close to his people. He is potty trained on a schedule, loves toys and cozy blankets, and has made it his personal mission to tear apart as many toys as possible! Frankie doesn’t bark much and enjoys having a crate as his safe, cozy spot. He likes to relax in it with the door open and loves a good belly rub. He also enjoys sunbathing, although he prefers to stay inside when it gets too hot outside. Frankie gets along well with other dogs, but he would do best with dogs that aren’t too young or overly energetic. Most of all, Frankie is a loving, cheerful companion who just wants to be near you and share some kisses!

Frankie is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned.

Frankie is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325. If you are interested in applying to adopt Frankie, please visit www.floridalittledogrescue.com to read the adoption process and complete an application! Please note that emails simply asking "Is this dog available" will not be returned, as applications are worked in the order received and availability largely depends on when you apply:) Please also know we do not adopt out of state! Thank you!
