Frankie

Description

Meet Frankie, our adorable new puppy. She got her name from the airfield where she and her Pilots and Paws volunteer pilot landed safely after an unexpected emergency. We’re so thankful for the pilot’s quick thinking and the Cosumnes Fire Department's help. While waiting for our volunteers, Frankie rested in their vehicle and enjoyed lots of snuggles and love.Frankie had a big day, traveling by car from San Martin to San Jose, flying to Sacramento, and then driving again to her foster home. After all that, she took a long nap and didn’t seem fazed by any of it. We loved seeing her wear a headset on the flight to protect her ears and nap in her crate.We’re so thankful to everyone who helped bring Frankie from the shelter to her foster home. Now she doesn’t have to fend for herself anymore. With plenty of good food and love, she’ll soon be a happy, healthy puppy with a shiny coat. Frankie and her littermates need good nutrition to gain much-needed weight and treatment for their rough skin. Since she arrived, we’ve noticed that Frankie is comfortable with noises like the vacuum and leaf blower. She walks well on a leash and can use the doggy door one way. She’s also really interested in squeaky toys, but people are still her favorite.Frankie isn’t quite sure about the resident cat yet, so we’ll give her time to adjust. She’s living with two ShepHeroes alums who have helped many foster puppies, and they’ll teach her all about pack life.Frankie’s littermates, Coraline and Rocket, are also getting comfortable in their San Jose-area foster homes.Have you seen our YouTube channel?
