Story
FRANKLIN IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!    Franklin is a precious purebred Maltese looking for a home to call his own! He currently lives with a foster family of 4 other dogs, and a cat and is so good with everyone (though he does love to chase the cat) content and happy to have nothing more than a spot on the bed and couch to snuggle. Franklin is 3-4 years old. He LOVES a stuffy to carry around and play with. He can be a roamer risk so a fully fenced in yard is absolutely required for his own safety. Being a Maltese, Franklin will also need consistent grooming every 6-7 weeks to keep his coat in good shape! He is crated trained and house trained. He is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all dog vaccinations. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Franklin up north to his new family. You can apply to adopt him today!     If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Franklin here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net   THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!
