Does your dog have any fears?
Yes. Frank takes some time to warm up to people he doesn’t know and can be very vigilant of people while on walks.

Meet Frank – A Striking Young Husky Mix Ready for His Second Chance
Frank is a stunning 1-year-old black-and-white Husky mix with soulful eyes and a heart full of potential. Weighing about 70 lbs, he is a truly handsome boy. As a puppy, Frank was fostered with other dogs and did well, though he is best suited to canine companions who match his energy level. Frank is fearful with most new experiences and people and he needs patience, consistency, and understanding to build his confidence. Frank is looking for a family willing to go at his pace as he learns to trust, while also committing to continued, safe exposure to new experiences so he can learn that the world isn’t such a scary place. Like any young Husky mix, Frank has energy to burn and will thrive in an active home that provides daily exercise, mental stimulation, and structure. With commitment and love, Frank will grow into a loyal, confident, and affectionate companion for the right family.
