If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire athttps://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.Dog's Name: Franklin (FRA1026OWSMDHW)Estimated Breed: Flat-coated Retriever / Newfoundland mixApproximate Age: 1-2 yearsApproximate Weight: 73 lbsCurrently Living at: BoardingAdoption Fee: $500DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Franklin! A stunningly handsome Flat-Coated Retriever mix who is on the hunt for his forever home. This energetic, intelligent boy is eager to please and loves nothing more than being wherever his favorite person happens to be. Whether you're heading out for a car ride (one of his favorite things!) or simply spending time together at home, Franklin wants to be part of the fun. Franklin does well with other dogs and adults, but he may be a bit too jumpy for children. He is crate and house trained, and even knows some basic commands. He is easy to train with treats and positive reinforcement and he hasn't shown any interest in chewing shoes, furniture, or other inappropriate items, although he is best crated when left alone. Like many dogs, Franklin has a few areas where he needs understanding and continued guidance. He can pull on leash, but a Gentle Leader can help make walks more enjoyable for everyone. He also struggles with some separation anxiety, is sensitive to loud noises and thunderstorms, and may need some continued work with his potty training. Franklin can be protective of his favorite toys, chews, and treat balls, so an adopter who understands resource guarding and is willing to work with him using positive, reward-based techniques will be important. Franklin is looking for an active, patient, and loving family who will appreciate his wonderful qualities while helping him navigate the things he finds challenging. In return, you'll have a devoted companion who wants to share every adventure, every quiet moment, and everything in between. Franklin is currently being treated for heartworm and once his treatment is complete, he will be good as new and ready to make a great companion for one lucky family or as your one and only. If you're ready to welcome a loyal best friend into your life, apply today—Franklin may be just the one you've been waiting for! To learn more about heartworm please visit: https://www.webmd.com/pets/dogs/features/heartworms-in-dogs-facts-and-mythsYour new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family. Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.
