Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


My friend got Frankie when she was a puppy in January 2020. I adopted her from him after he told me she attacked his kids (I found out later that his kids were antagonizing Frankie while she was in her kennel). I have been working with her but she does not like children or strangers. When Frankie was with my friend she had gotten loose and when animal control was trying to save her from a river Frankie had bitten him. She will warn before she nips (ears back and growl). She is potty trained, however, She will pee when she is scared (if she is in the same room as the washer/dryer). She would be best with a big yard where she can run around or perhaps even a "job" she can do. She is great with "her people". It takes a little bit for her to get comfortable but once she is, she is happy and full of energy. She loves to play fetch and she loves the snow. She is not food aggressive at all and when. Giving treats will gently take them too. If you have questions feel free to ask.
