Good morning! Frankie here.
I'm basically a furry escape artist with a work ethic that makes humans look lazy—fetch me, hike me, puzzle me, or I'll reorganize your furniture with my teeth.
My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.
I've been holding down the fort in Seattle, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Halloween could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Frankie

About Frankie
Animal Profile: Frankie is a 35-pound, 2-year-old Border Collie, Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Shepherd, and Terrier mix whose genetics run true. This smart, athletic girl lives for a game of fetch and has the energy and enthusiasm to keep up on hikes, runs, and all of life's adventures. Frankie has spent the past 6 months working with Gina at Double Down Dog Training, where she has lived and learned alongside a pack environment. She gets along great with dogs of all ages and sizes, and blends right in with dogs coming and going for training. Frankie is ready to find a home that understands and appreciates the unique qualities of herding breeds. Playful, attentive, and highly pack and toy-motivated, Frankie loves having a job to do and thrives when given both mental and physical outlets. She enjoys being with her people and forming strong bonds, but she isn't a dog who craves constant affection. In fact, excessive attention can make her a bit uncomfortable. Frankie prefers relationships built on trust, activity, and shared experiences. She loves her flirt pole, and playing fetch with obedience in the mix. Foster Update: Frankie's ideal home would be an active adult household with previous herding-breed experience. She would love owners who enjoy training, outdoor activities, and engaging with a dog that is both intelligent and driven. Frankie is house-trained, crate-trained, and rides well in the car, making her an easy companion for everyday life and weekend adventures alike. If you're looking for a loyal, athletic partner who is ready to join you for work on your property, out on the trail, at the beach, or anywhere a ball can be thrown, Frankie may be the perfect match.
