Meet Frankie! Frankie is a 14-year-old black and tan male dachshund. Don't let his age fool you. He is a healthy boy and has a lot of love left to give.
Sadly, Frankie's owner passed away and he was gloomy for quite a while. He initially refused to walk on a leash or acknowledge a toy. Today, he loves his morning and evening walks with our two dogs and has such a youthful, bouncy gait--nothing cuter! He excitedly alerts on squirrels, but realizes that his squirrel-chasing days are probably over and settles quickly back into the rhythm of the walk. There's something so precious about seeing him pick up a toy and carry it around with him now.
He also has come to adore cuddling on the couch or in bed. He gets a little jealous when our dogs get attention, but is becoming more secure with time.
Frankie still doesn't like being alone and will follow his fosters around to be in the same room. They suspect that's because of the sudden loss of his owner and believe it may take time for him to feel independent. Frankie is good with dogs and the children he meet on his walks. Please consider adopting sweet senior dog, Frankie as he needs a loving home to spend his final years.
Frankie is a 14 year old male dauschund. He weighs 13lbs.

More about this rescue
K-9 Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, all-breed canine rescue organization established in February 2012.
We are a rescue group for shelter dogs who run out of time. In other words, we are not a shelter, have no permanent facilities, and are not equipped to take in dogs from the public. We select dogs from the greater Houston "kill" animal control facilities who would not have made it out alive. (Don't worry! If you need help rehoming a dog, there are other non-profit groups who can assist you.)
No one involved in K-9 Angels receives ANY compensation. Our volunteers are compassionate animal welfare advocates who contribute their time, skills, and finances to shelter homeless dogs in Houston. To save the lives of the abandoned, abused, and stray dogs who end up in Houston's animal control facilities, K-9 Angels relies completely on adoption fees, donations, and our amazing volunteers.
K-9 Angels covers ALL costs for dogs currently in the program. During intake, every dog gets a microchip and is spayed or neutered (if old enough for the procedure). If the dog being adopted is not already altered at the time of their adoption, the dog will be altered within 2 weeks of adoption at our vet at our cost, with the exception of puppies which will be altered as soon as the puppy is ready. We fund all medical care necessary, even if we have to raise extra Helping Paw funds for special cases! From the time they enter the program to the time they graduate, K-9 Angels dogs are kept up-to-date on all vaccines (DHPP, bordetella, rabies) as well as heartworm and flea prevention.
We commit to K-9 Angels dogs until they are adopted.
Our volunteer foster homes patiently provide safety, love, and integration into a household environment - a key to successful adoptions. The biographies, pictures, and even videos from foster homes are important "pup-licilty" for our dogs! We are always in need of additional foster homes.
Our goal is a "fur-ever" home! We take every precaution not to contribute to the dog overpopulation problem here in Houston. Applications are processed according to our adoption policies to insure the best situation for our dogs and the families who adopt them.
