My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Frankincense: More Than Just a Fragrant Name
While his name might remind you of an aromatic resin, Frankincense is actually your potential new best friend. This striking fellow looks like an English Setter and German Shorthaired Pointer mix, carrying a classic and athletic appearance.
In the shelter environment, Frankincense is shy and cautious. He is looking for a patient person who can provide a predictable environment where he can settle in at his own pace. He is the perfect match for someone who enjoys a quieter bond and the reward of earning a dog’s trust.
Frankincense has a recent medical history involving seizures, but he has been stable since starting his medication. Many dogs with similar conditions live full, happy lives that are defined by their personalities rather than their diagnosis. He would benefit from a medical foster home that can provide a consistent routine to help him feel secure as he adjusts. While he is perfectly capable of spending time on his own, having a dedicated caregiver to help him decompress in a calm space will make all the difference in his transition.
If you have a calm space to share, Frankincense is ready to find his sanctuary with you.
