Frank

Meet Frank, a mellow and affectionate two-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix from Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, whose tan coat and warm heart make him the ultimate lounging companion—with just enough spunk to keep things interesting.

Frank is that perfect blend of calm and curious. Most days, you’ll find him curled up in one of his two comfy beds, watching the world go by with soulful eyes. But come evening, he’ll spring to life with happy energy, ready for a walk or a play session with his favorite Kong toy! He walks beautifully on a leash, knows commands like sit, come, and leave it, and he’s well on his way with crate training too.

This gentle guy is a big fan of human companionship and adores a good cuddle session. While he’s still a bit unsure how he feels about other animals in close quarters, he’s quite content to stroll past them on walks without much fuss. With his easygoing nature and medium energy level, Frank would do well in an apartment with consistent exercise—but give him a yard to stretch his legs, and he’ll thrive.

Frank is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on all vaccines. He comes with an incredible starter pack: two cozy beds, food, toys, and five months’ worth of flea and tick medication, so he’ll be all set to transition into his next chapter! He doesn’t require much in the way of grooming—just a monthly bath to keep his short tan coat looking sharp.

While loud noises out on walks can startle him a bit, Frank’s resilience and trusting spirit shine through. His routine includes meals in the morning and evening, plus walks throughout the day to help him feel happy and secure. What’s most endearing about Frank is his gentle, playful demeanor and the way he quietly melts into your side when it’s cuddle time.

Are you ready to share your life with a low-key companion who brings calm, cuddles, and charm in equal measure? To learn more about adopting Frank, please reach out today!
