Story
Rio Is 12 Years 8 Months and 10lbs I have had him for 5 years now I adopted him in 2020 He is a loving, sweet and only sour when it comes to changing his diaper (2 Years Now) Other than that he just wants to be around, he doesnt like to be alone, so he would be great for someone that works from home He currently wears diapers because he Is like a baby all over again, I took him to the vet he has perennial hernias. Ive just been trying to love him through it but I know he needs TLC. Im trying to find him a new home to prevent the choice of surrendering him to the Humane Society for Treatment or Letting Him Go. The fee is just to make sure he goes to a capable home but can be lowered

Story
Meet Franki, a gentle dog recently surredered by her owner who could no longer care for her. She's the epitome of sweetness, with a shy demeanor that melts hearts. Franki is a cuddly companion who loves quiet moments and gentle affection. Her mellow nature makes her an ideal friend for someone looking for a calm and loving pet. Despite her shyness, once she warms up, her affectionate side shines brightly. Adopting Franki means bringing home a devoted friend who will enrich your life with gentle love and quiet companionship. She is tentative around other dogs, so will need a slow intro. Franki will be spayed on March 11th and will be available for adoption after that date.
