Husky / Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix
Hi, I'm Franklin. According to the DNA test that my foster mom had done for me, I'm 1/2 Siberian Husky, 1/4 Rhodesian Ridgeback, and 1/4 American Staffordshire Terrier. I'm 3-1/2 years old, neutered, current on my shots, and weigh about 66 lbs. I am housetraind and haven't had an accident yet. I like other dogs like my GSD foster sister and I will even put up with that yappy little Pomeranian next door. I love people and I am fond of children. They could pet me all day and I wouldn't mind. I will chase cats and squirrels.
Lots of things have changed for me since I got to my foster home right before last Christmas. I've passed basic obedience and walk nicely on a leash. I am still a little anxious in new situations but I love going to daycare at my vet. I love the calming treats from Drs Foster and Smith that I get every day. I wear my calming collar and it smells like roses, which makes me happy. I can be left loose in the house with my sister doggie up to 4 hours and I don't chew anything up. But PLEASE don't put me in a crate..I get all anxious and scared and try to escape.
The only thing is that I to run like my husky and ridgeback ancestors. I can climb a fence if there's a foothold. So I am never off leash and I like to be walked 4 -6 times a day. If you leave cake out on the counter I will help myself...it's so yummy! Otherwise I eat grain-free dog food and it's good for my coat and my tummy. I would love to have a real home with people who are around most of the day and a doggie sibling to keep me company.
Hope to meet you soon.
Warmest wags,
Franklin
