Frankie - Portuguese Water Dog Dog for Adoption in Wiggins, Mississippi

I'm Frankie, a brown Portuguese Water Dog mix, and I'm ready to bring some serious fun to your home! I'm neutered, housetrained, and I absolutely love spending time with other dogs and people plus I'm smart, affectionate, and playful enough to keep you entertained all day long. I'm cuddly and friendly, though I'll warn you upfront that grooming and vet visits aren't my favorite (but we'll work through it together!). If you're looking for an energetic, mischievous buddy who's eager to bond with you.

All of our animals are rescued and transported from South Mississippi where major animal overpopulation means less homes. We only transport them once adopted, in most instances, we can be available for a video call once an application has been approved.

WE PERSONALLY TRANSPORT OUR OWN adopted animals to meet their new families. We transport every 2-3 weeks.
Transport of adopted animals is done by a sister organization to ensure the quality of care. We travel to VA, MD, PA, NJ, CT, VT, and NY. Our dogs travel in comfort with 24/7 care. We have been facilitating long distance adoptions since 2019.
*For New Hampshire Adopters: Transport will meet NH adopters in Brattleboro, VT

***Breed input is required for each platform but is not guaranteed to be accurate. We do not DNA test. We rescue animals from different situations. We discuss breed assignments with our vets to label them as accurately as possible. ***

We are currently unable to adopt pets to MA, ME, or RI residents
