Pads Dog Rescue

Frank arrived from his owner due to a relationship breakdown.Frank is an independent wee soul and doesn’t like being grabbed or groomed, Frank required muzzling at the vets. He finds children too much and needs an adult only home. He enjoys a walk and walks fairly well on lead, his recall requires work. He’s a busy wee guy and needs mental stimulation and play, he does have the old luxating patella skip but it does not impact his mobility.Frank is not dependable around other dogs, so should be a solo dog and has never met a cat.Anyone interested in adopting Frank will likely have to visit a number of times to build trust.

Frankie is very playful and absolutely loves toys. He likes his food too! Frankie has some ‘quirks’ and will need an understanding owner who in return will have a very loving boy towards them. Frankie is wary of new people and may try to nip if a stranger approaches him or tries to stroke him. When he understands you mean no harm, he becomes the cheekiest and lovely boy who is full of character. Frankie loves walks, he can do decent sized walks. He enjoys off leash time, this must be at a secure dog field to keep him safe. Frankie needs a loving confident leader. He will need boundaries and consistency with keeping these boundaries in place for him to thrive. His new home will need no children due to his anxieties. Ideally there would be minimal people visiting the home or you will need to ensure Frankie has a secure space/crate he can relax in when new people are around. Frankie is in good physical health. Frankie does have anxiety and this is shown in his weariness of strangers. This is purely fear based. We have worked on this with Frankie since coming into rescue. Where he once used to lunge at strangers to keep them away he now completely ignores them. However if a stranger would try to stoke Frankie, he is highly likely to nip. Frankie will not nip you once he knows you, so is fully capable of being neutralised within a comfortable and familiar setting. Although he likes female dogs, he will lunge at them over food. Frankie does not like male dogs. Therefore it is not possible to trust Frankie 100% with any dog. Frankie is good motivated and can be trained using treats as well as positive reinforcement. You will need to have patience and understanding when it comes to Frankie. You must either have experience with anxiety in dogs or a willingness to learn. Frankie does need firm but kind humans in his life. He needs his human family to help him build his confidence and overcome his fears. Positive reinforcement must be consistent, rewarding Frankie for desired behaviours and for making his own good choices. With Frankie you will need to be a step ahead of his reactivity and be sure not to reinforce any undesired behaviours. There are plenty of exercises and activities you can do to help Frankie overcome his fears. You will have the best bond with this little chap as once he is comfortable with you, he is an extremely loving and playful soul. Frankies foster have said; Well it has to be said that Frankie has stolen our hearts in the short time he has been with us. Frankie is such a cute little gentleman who has some fantastic manners in the house. He goes to his bed when asked, doesn’t beg for food and is overall rather quiet in the house. He loves to play ball, it is the way to his heart. He also likes to sit on the sofa with you and he regularly tries to sneak a kiss in! Frankie has some anxiety issues which we have been working on and we can already see a difference. When my parents came to visit he barked and jumped up at my Mum…five minutes later he was sat between my Mum and Dad having cuddles. Safe to say treats are a good way of getting him to feel comfortable around you. Frankie is being trained to heel on his walks and we are learning to ignore other dogs, people and other distractions. We were a bit overwhelmed with the thought of this at first but we have found it very easy and Frankie seems to be more confident and comfortable on his walks. Whoever takes this fabulous boy on will need to continue with this training but we can see that the reward of having Frankie as part of your family will be worth it all. Frankie has been good when he has been left on his own and has not shown any signs of separation anxiety and has behaved well when on his own. Overall he just sleeps whilst we are out. It has been an absolute pleasure to have Frankie with us, he is such a handsome little guy! Frankie is based at our Wrexham kennel facility
