Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


We are looking to rehome our sweet dog, Frankie. Frankie is 65 lb, neutered, and thought by our vet to be an Australian Kelpie mix. He’s ~ 2.5+ years old, high energy, athletic, smart, and loves people, including small children.

Frankie lived peacefully with our other dog for over two years. However, over the past couple of months, Frankie has been involved in two dog-to-dog incidents:
• One occurred when a gate was left unlatched and he went after a dog walking past our home with its owner.
• Another occurred in our backyard with our other dog. Both incidents unfortunately required veterinary care.

Because we have two very young children—one who runs toward the dogs whenever there is conflict—we no longer feel we can safely keep Frankie.

We believe he’d thrive as the only dog in a home with an owner who can give him the mental stimulation and physical activity he needs and deserves. We suspect his recent aggressive behavior is due in part to not having enough of either.
