Story
Meet Frank Sinatra 🎶
He is the emotional support playlist you didn’t know you needed.
Overall, Frank is sweet and steady, the canine equivalent of a perfectly tailored suit. He’s gentle in his interactions, thoughtful in his movements, and carries himself like a dog who knows he’s handsome but doesn’t feel the need to brag about it. While some puppies are out here doing backflips for attention, Frank is content to lean in close, give you a soulful look, and let you fall in love naturally. Frank Sinatra isn’t here for drama. He’s here for lifelong loyalty, cozy evenings, and being the steady, sweet presence you didn’t know you were missing. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who feels like a warm blanket, a slow song, and a best friend all rolled into one… congratulations. You just found your heartthrob. 💙
Frank Sinatra is a 4–5 month old, 25lb male Border Collie mix who came to us after being abandoned with his siblings. The little crooner and his siblings were left to fend for themselves, but thankfully landed in the care of a kind Good Samaritan who did everything they could to keep them safe—even though the pups were living outdoors and it wasn’t a long-term solution. We were able to scoop Frank and his siblings up just in time, right before Mother Nature decided to unleash her dramatic winter finale—complete with Arctic temperatures and plenty of very cold snow. Timing-wise? Immaculate. Frank traded surviving the elements for blankets, safety, and the good life.
Frank Sinatra gets along with other dogs the way a true gentleman should—politely, joyfully, and with just enough enthusiasm to make it clear he’s very interested in being invited to play. He loves other dogs and is always down for a good romp, a friendly wrestle, or a “let’s all run around like we have no responsibilities” moment. Social, sweet, and not here to start drama—Frank is the kind of dog who makes friends easily and somehow manages to keep the vibe wholesome while doing it. Frank Sinatra has not yet been formally introduced to a cat. That said, given his gentle, easygoing nature, we’re cautiously optimistic he’d approach the situation with curiosity, respect, and possibly a very polite “hello” before waiting to see how the "strange creature" feels about the arrangement. Frank Sinatra has not yet had the pleasure of meeting any kids, so at this time he remains blissfully unaware of juice boxes, sudden shrieks, sticky fingers, and the mysterious art of crumbing snacks everywhere. Frank Sinatra is a bit of a sensitive soul, the kind of pup who feels things deeply and prefers his world on the calmer side. Because of that, he may not be the best match for a household full of constant motion, high-volume enthusiasm, and toddlers running through the house like tiny, unpredictable hurricanes. Loud, fast, and chaotic isn’t really his vibe. That said, pair Frank with a calmer kiddo who understands gentle interactions, and you’ve got the beginning of a truly special friendship. We can easily picture him glued to their side, quietly supervising homework, curling up during movie nights, or following them from room to room like a soft, fluffy shadow. He’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply, offers steady comfort, and thrives when he feels safe and understood. Frank Sinatra approaches meeting new people the way a true introvert does, with a brief moment of suspicion, a little side-eye, and a quiet internal debate about whether you’re worth his time. Once he’s decided you’re safe (and preferably have functioning hands for petting), the walls come down. Frank warms up beautifully and turns into a fan of attention, affection, and being told what a good boy he is.
Frank Sinatra absolutely requires assistance getting into the car—because physics exist. He’s simply too small to leap into an SUV like some kind of action hero, so he appreciates a polite lift, thank you very much. Once inside, though? Total professional. He rides like a gentleman—quiet, calm, and acting as if he’s been doing chauffeured car rides his whole life. New places are still a bit intimidating, and he prefers to take a moment to process the situation before making his grand exit. With a little reassurance and some practice, we fully expect him to gain confidence and realize that car rides usually lead to perfectly acceptable destinations. Frank Sinatra is what we like to call a balanced lifestyle icon. He’s absolutely down for adventures—playtime, exploring, romping around like he’s got somewhere important to be. If there’s fun happening, Frank would like to be included, preferably front and center, living his best puppy life. That said, once the adventure quota has been met, he is more than happy to clock out and become a full-time homebody. Curling up, napping, and sticking close to his people are also high on his priority list. He’s the rare pup who can play hard and chill harder—equally content chasing fun or snoozing next to you like that was the plan all along. Basically, Frank is flexible. Adventure when it’s time. Cozy when it’s not. A true professional. Frank Sinatra’s overall temperament can best be described as “polite introvert with occasional bursts of puppy nonsense.” When he first meets you, he’s a little unsure—but don’t be fooled, the tail is still wagging. He’s curious, hopeful, and quietly optimistic about this whole “new people” situation, even if he needs a minute to warm up. At his core, Frank is genuinely sweet and calm, especially once he feels safe. He has that soft, thoughtful energy that makes you want to protect him at all costs. But let’s be clear—he is still a puppy. He loves to play, gets bursts of joyful energy, and has been spotted enthusiastically chasing leaves when the wind blows, as if they personally challenged him. It’s equal parts adorable and deeply entertaining. Overall, Frank is a wonderful mix of gentle soul and playful pup—sweet, calm, and just silly enough to keep life interesting. Frank Sinatra has not yet formed an official opinion on water. However, we can confidently report that he is a big fan of snow. Fluffy white stuff falling from the sky? Ten out of ten. Would frolic again. Frank Sinatra is a toy enthusiast. If there’s a toy involved, he’s interested. If it squeaks? Even better. Toys are clearly a major source of joy, entertainment, and Very Important Puppy Business for him. He loves to play, toss them around, and keep himself occupied like a professional at work. Frank Sinatra is fairly adaptable and could make himself at home in just about any setup—as long as his needs are met. Apartment? Possibly. House with no fence and regular leash walks? Also doable. That said, let’s talk logistics. Frank loves to run, and if he ever finds himself off leash, there’s a solid chance he’ll briefly forget you exist while he explores at top speed. Catching him quickly may turn into an impromptu cardio session you did not plan for. Because of that, a securely fenced yard would be the best scenario.
Frank is still a puppy, so accidents still happen every now and then but he is doing very well with a consistent routine and frequent trips outside. The effort is there, the progress is real, and those puppy brain cells are absolutely clocked in and working hard. Frank Sinatra is the smallest of his litter. He’s likely to stay on the more petite side when fully grown, complete with the most adorable short little legs that somehow make him even more charming. It’s impossible to take him seriously when he’s trotting around and brings a smile to your face pretty much every time. Personality-wise, he is incredibly sweet, gentle, and affectionate. Frank has a soft presence and a kind heart, the type of dog who quietly works his way into your life and then refuses to leave (emotionally). He doesn’t demand attention—he earns it just by being himself. With his loving nature and endearing quirks, he’s going to make a truly wonderful addition to a home that’s ready to appreciate a smaller, softer, sweet-as-can-be pup with leading-man looks and a whole lot of heart.
If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, playful little heartthrob with short legs, a calm soul, and just enough puppy antics to keep life entertaining, Frank Sinatra is ready to take center stage in your home. If you think you might be his forever human, you’ll need to fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app so we can send it along to his foster family—Frank does insist on proper paperwork before committing to a lifelong relationship. Pickup will be in Oklahoma City, because even heartthrobs don’t come with delivery service.
