Frank

Description

Successfully rehomed by Gonsal Farm Animal Centre

Frank is a male lurcher cross who came in with three other dogs over welfare concerns. Frank has not adapted well to the kennel environment and is very stressed at the moment. This is not helping his weight gain which needs to improve as he came in a bit on the skinny side, but hopefully getting settled into a calm home environment should help this. For the most part, Frank is a very calm and affectionate lad away from his kennel. He walks beautifully on the lead and isnt particularly energetic off lead either. However, he does have moments where he loses concentration and get a little over-excited, so he will need basic training in his new home and would prefer his adopters to have previous dog owning experience. He can be left for a short period in the day, but would benefit from someone around for most of the day to give him the attention and care he needs. He can go with children age 13+ only due to his jumping up behaviour and can be rehomed with an existing dog but not cats.
