Frank

Frank was adopted to a family a few months ago, but just days ago ran away from home and ended up at a government run kill shelter. His family was contacted and said that they don't want him if he runs away. Two wonderful rescuers pulled Frank from the kill shelter today (Monday, July 22), and he is staying at an emergency foster home while we look for a more long-term foster or, even better, a FUR-ever home.

Hello, my potential fur-ever family! My name is Frank and I'm looking for YOU! I have been waiting my whole life to keep your feet warm and kiss your face. I have so much love to give you that my curly Pug tail just won't stop wagging it's love your way! I've been patient and I make sure to behave really nicely, so can I come home with you now?

Frank says, "I love you!"

Say hello to Frank, the little Pug who wants nothing more than to follow you around your home and throughout his life! He would love to have you throw his squishy tennis balls for him to fetch when you're out and about on a relaxing Saturday, and then curl up at your feet when you get home to upload a billion cute and goofy pictures of him on Facebook to show him off to your friends and family around the world!

Frank will be incredibly affectionate with you, and he will be forever yours if you give him his favorite: doggy bacon strips! He loves going for walks outside and is a polite gentleman on his leash. He will love you so much that he can't help but come running toward you when you call his name, even if off-leash. In fact, he will love you so much that he will give you everything you want: his toys, his food, his attention, the list goes on! He is learning sit and down, and is eager to please, so his training potential is endless! He is eager to shower you with love, and will like your cat just as much and if you have a calmer or older dog, he is great (he would rather be with you, so if you have a very active dog, Frank will simply move away - no aggression - but he'll be lonely and aching for you)! Frank hopes you have space in your bed for some cuddles, but he is perfectly content to sleep and be in his crate because he understands that absence makes the heart grow fonder - so long as he's sleeping! :o) Overall, Frank is a very easy-going dog who knows when to relax and when to play, and he will follow your lead. If you want to head out to the park for a stroll, he'll be packing his water bottle for you. If you want to sleep in on a Sunday, he will happily roll over for some more shut-eye. If you are ready for a goofy, happy Pug-filled life, look no further!

Frank's Story:
For the past several weeks, Frank has been the constant loser in a cruel game of musical chairs. Frank was found in Pyeongtaek, and taken to the local vet near Camp Humphreys. He was fostered out rather quickly, but unfortunately Frank was returned a few days later when his foster mom realized she wasn't quite ready for a dog, or the training necessary to keep him.

After Frank was returned to the vet clinic, he was then sent to a city pound and put on death row. When some kind volunteers heard about this, they drove to the pound to save Frank. They had arranged another foster family for him, and were confident he would be stable and cared for until he was adopted. However, after about a week, this family also gave up on Frank due to the fact that he was having accidents in the house.

Frank was moved to yet another foster home, who decided that they could no longer keep Frank either.

So, poor Frank, through no fault of his own, was passed around to THREE different irresponsible homes and served a stint on Death Row. He is currently staying in Pyeongtaek with his foster mommy where he can FINALLY relax, settle in, and learn the tricks of the good-dog trade.

Training:
1. Frank is doing VERY well with his potty training! On his current schedule, he hasn't had an accident inside for almost a week! He had some issues with house training at his previous fosters' homes, but likely because his previous very irresponsible and inexperienced homes didn't take the time to get to know Frank's potty signs and didn't take him out frequently enough. At his current foster home, Frank goes out every 3-4 hours to potty, and is on a very structured regimen, so he's been doing VERY well! He had only 2 accidents inside on his first day, and hasn't had any since, so we know that he is learning and beginning to understand that release should only come outside. He can sleep through the night without accidents, and will even hold it for the 10-15 minutes he's out of his crate first thing in the morning while his foster mom is getting ready to take him outside! His current foster mom says that "he has been GREAT!"
2. Frank probably experienced A LOT of stress with all the shifting around and uncertainty in his life, so has become a bit wary of punishment. If you raise your voice to him or make sudden movements, like tossing your phone on the bed, he will flinch a bit. He doesn't run away or growl or have any other fear response, just a slight, uncertain flinch. With a stable home and loving family, this shouldn't be a problem once he settles in. His foster mom is working with him on this. This issue is also only when he's inside; when outside, he is fine. This is heartbreaking, as he wasn't like this before all the moving around and all the people yelling at him when he had a potty accident inside.

Medical:
Frank is overall a HEALTHY boy! Frank was neutered today and is recovering nicely! He will begin his vaccinations next week!!!

Frank will undoubtedly be a WONDERFUL furry family member. Even with all the uncertainty of the last several weeks, he is happy and excited to be with people! Please consider opening your home to this amazing dog. After going through so much, he deserves a fur-ever home!
