I wish! She's such a little charmer. We've got a few events later this month so maybe then....
Fostering Miss Frankie
Look who we picked up tonight...:wave:
This is Frankie. She's a 3-4 yr old Pit/mix, about 45 lbs. Her owner passed away 6 months ago and she has spent the past 6 months in a boarding facility. She had all the basic care, but it certainly wasn't a home environment. A staffer at the boarding facility called the rescue last week and asked for help. So she was transferred to the boarding facility we use and a foster was found. I was due to take a neglect case out of the city shelter but this little girl's foster had to back out last minute so I am taking her and we are boarding the neglect case as a kind of "decompression time" (hopefully I will be able to take him in a month or so as he will need a lot of work)
So here she is and of course many more photos will follow

She's a favorite of all of us. Unfortunately, we have a number of puppies right now who I think are getting the majority of the attention at events. I can't blame anyone, those pups are freaking adorable (black pit/ACDS and red rottie mixes) but I'd rather have a housetrained, crate trained, non-chewing, leash walking adult any day
But I set up an adoption booth at a local arts/shopping/dining type event at the end of the month so maybe that will get a different crowd that the typical dog event.

Bully breed adoption event at the Harley-Davidson dealership. "Big hearts, big heads, big hogs" Some promising leads on a pup or two and another adult dog, but no real action on Frankie. I fear she is just so polite and well mannered that she actually gets overlooked because of that. She sits and says hi but then ignores everything to be all calm and serene. Considering the rainy and chilly weather though, the day was a success.

I'll be sure to save one of the "best" for you
Most lively, most personality, most vocal....or I could be nice and train one up really well for you.
We're coming up on Sham's second birthday and I've survived. Do your worst.I'll be sure to save one of the "best" for you

LOL, if you had met Luna early on, we might have had a competition. Today even I got introduced as basically "She fostered Luna" with the response of "Ohhhhh" by someone who had helped with one of our nearly feral dogs
At least Sham started as a puppy, Luna started with me at 40 lbs ....But hey, if you ever have a type you are looking for, you aren't more than a day's drive away.
Sham was actually a GLORIOUS puppy. It wasn't until he was an 80 lbs 8 month old when he debuted that he's a tornado. Smalls was a hell hound from the very get go and I distinctly remember meeting up with a group of old friends who hadn't seen her in four years and every one fawning over her- until I said her name. They were all like "Wait.. This is.. Smalls? She's not pooping or biting. This isn't Smalls."LOL, if you had met Luna early on, we might have had a competition.

I'll get back to you in roughly.. ten years.

Thanks
It is hard to believe that she's been here almost as long as Luna, who was something of a nutcase. Sweet, but crazy. But I know that when someone does adopt her, they will be getting a really great dog. Until then, we will continue to have a good time and I try to give her lots of fun experiences. So today she got her first chance at running around on the 50 ft leash. I take Chester to the public parks on the long leash but she needs a little more controlled surroundings. So we went by my workplace and she had a blast once she figured out that she could go more than a few feet from my side. Even then, she was not a wanderer like Chester is.
And no worries, even though Frankie got an hour and a half of "solo" time, Chester didn't get gypped- we hit the park after I brought Frankie back to the house and he got an hour plus of undivided attention also.... he didn't seem so impressed by it though, ha.
Not to derail Frankie's thread, but THIS FACE is PRICELESS.![]()
