r alone time is kept to a minimum, there's always a soft lap available, and, of course, there's plenty of room for her in the big bed. Frankie absolutely loves attention—and, if we're being honest, she expects it! She would be happiest as the one and only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the love she deserves. She does co-exist with the other small older dogs in her foster home, but no interaction. High-energy dogs make her nervous. If you're looking for a companion to accompany you on every car ride, Frankie may not be the perfect match. Car trips just aren't her thing. What she does enjoy are leisurely walks—or more accurately, leisurely sniffs! Frankie loves exploring the world at her own pace, carefully investigating every interesting scent she finds. After all, sniffing is great mental exercise! Frankie recently had a dental cleaning and a senior wellness blood panel. Her bloodwork showed mildly elevated liver enzymes, and our veterinarian has recommended repeating the panel in December. Her adopter should be comfortable following up with this testing and understand that, depending on the results, she may eventually need prescription food, supplements, or other supportive care. Frankie will bark briefly when left alone, so a home rather than an apartment or shared-wall living situation would likely be the best fit. This sweet girl has experienced more change than any senior dog should. As far as we know, her current foster home is already the third home she's had. That's why we're committed to finding the perfect family—one that will cherish her for the rest of her life. If you're looking for a devoted companion who wants nothing more than to love you, be loved in return, and spend her golden years by your side, Frankie may just be your perfect match. Due to her dislike of car rides, we would like to keep home visits/adoption to within one hour of Taunton, MA Adoption Fee: $300.00 Apply only at: .paw-affectionrescue

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
