DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting. ***** Frank is 4.5yo, weighs 92lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped. "Frank is the most incredible dog I could have ever asked for, when it is just him and I. He is fun, goofy, loving, and playful. But, he is very weary of strangers. He warms up to people, through proper introduction, but he does have behavioral issues. I am currently working with a trainer to help Frank as much as possible with a transition to a new home. Frank knows basic obedience, such as 'sit', 'stay', 'paw', 'come', and 'place'. Frank's guardian explains why he has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "My girlfriend and her 11yo daughter are moving in. Frank has done extensive training, but we do not fully trust him around such a high energy child. Frank does really well outside of my home, but has gotten protective since only living with me the past 2 years." BITE INCIDENT: On 20 October 2022, Frank bit his guardian's girlfriend's hand; the bite broke the skin, animal control was not involved, and only home first aid was administered, as it was not a major injury. Frank's guardian explains: "Typically when anyone comes to my house, I have Frank in the back yard or on command, like "place", away from the door. This day, my girlfriend walked into the house unexpected and I was on the phone in the other room. Frank greeted her at the door and let her give him affection. She was petting him when I came into the room. Frank looked at me, then looked at her, and then bit her hand. It did puncture the skin, but he let go immediately. He went to cower in the corner because he knew he had done something wrong." Frank's guardian offers a brief medical history: "Frank is on medications. Apoquel for his allergies, and Prozac and Trazodone for his anxiety." Frank's guardian states the following regarding children: Frank hasn't lived with children, but his guardian recommends his living with children, stating "Frank has had limited experience with children outside of the home. He has barked in the past, but he has also let them give him scratches." Frank's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Frank hasn't lived with dogs, but his guardian recommends his living with dogs, stating "Frank is leash reactive when he sees another dog. However, he seems to do fine with them outside of the house, so long as the other dog does not get aggressive." Frank's guardian states the following regarding cats: Frank hasn't lived with or otherwise been around cats, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats. Frank's guardian describes him as: Very active Couch potato Quiet Playful Shy Affectionate Fearful Always at your side Indoor dog Outdoor dog Nervous Separation anxiety Frank's guardian describes his ideal future home: "The ideal home for Frank would have alot of property or a big fenced yard where he could play and chase squirrels. He would be able to just be a dog, have fun, and go on lots of walks. Sadly, I do not know if he would do well around children or pets, but I have seen him do well outside of my home. I just want Frank to have a loving home, wherever that may be. He can be alot of work at times, because of his past, but he has been my best friend and it has been so worth it. This has been the toughest thing I have ever had to go through. I just want him to be safe and happy." Rehoming Fee: None Location: Towson, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS 1.
