Your Pet's Rescue Story
Frankie came to me during an incredibly challenging period this year. I was a proud boxer mom for nearly 12 years to a brother and sister from the same litter. Sadly, my male boxer had to be put down in early April after months of battling seizures. As I grieved for my male boxer, his sister then began exhibiting severe signs of distress and passed away at home 2 days later from what we believe was a broken heart.

Frankie had about 10 days overlap with the boxers. While I wish we all had more time together, he has provided me with motivation, laughter and joy.

First, Frankie is what I can only describe as a "stage 5 clinger" following me nearly everywhere...and I mean everywhere!
Secondly, I am amazed at how fearless he is. Even as a 3 month old pup, he would puff his chest out and let dogs 4-5x his size know who was boss.

Frankie is spunky, a bundle of energy and so, so loving! He gives me a reason to get up and smile every day. I don't know where I would be without him!
