Story

Meet Frankie! 🐾 Frankie is a 3-year-old Hound/Lab mix and an 80-pound bundle of love who has absolutely no idea he’s too big to be a lap dog. 😂❤️ He’s an incredibly sweet, affectionate boy with a wonderfully chill personality. Frankie loves following his people from room to room, curling up as close as possible, soaking up belly rubs, and getting all the snuggles he can. He enjoys going for walks and loves playing with his canine friends, but he’s just as happy lounging around with his favorite people.Frankie does great with kids and other dogs and would make such a wonderful family companion. He would do best in a feline-free home, as his instincts may make cats a little too tempting to chase.Frankie is neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready to find a forever family with plenty of room on the couch—or, more importantly, their laps—for all 80 pounds of him. ❤️🐾

Story

Hi there, I'm Archer! I'm a fun-loving, curious puppy who is officially ready to find my forever family. My foster friends tell me I'm a total genius because I learn new things incredibly fast. Want to teach me cool tricks or basic manners? Just break out the treats! I am very food-driven and will happily work for yummy snacks. When I'm done showing off my smarts, I love to play with my toys, hang out with other dogs, and play with kids. I'm a social guy who just loves being part of the action. Once playtime is over, my absolute favorite thing to do is snuggle up close for some quality couch time. I have a lot of affection to give and promise to be the best cuddler you've ever met. I’m already neutered and fully up to date on my shots. I am still perfecting my potty training, but since I'm such a fast learner, I know I'll get the hang of it quickly with your help. If you're looking for a joyful, loving companion to complete your home, I'm your guy! IMPORTANT!!!!! We reply to all inquiries from leadmehomerescue@gmail.com within 24 hours. Please check your Spam, Junk, and Promotions folders for our email, as adoption platform replies are frequently misfiltered! Applications can be completed on our website at LeadMeHomeRescue.com
