Meet Franky – A Little Hound with a Big Heart
At just 2 years old, Franky is still very much a baby, with his whole life ahead of him and so much love to give to the right family.
Franky is a smaller male greyhound with a beautiful, glossy black coat and the sweetest nature. He’s an affectionate, cuddly little man who enjoys spending time with people and has a playful side, too – he likes his toys and is sure to bring plenty of charm to his new home!
Franky is a sensitive soul who can be a little unsure of himself when away from the familiarity of his kennel surroundings. He’s well-mannered on his lead, though, and with gentle encouragement, patience and reassurance, we hope he’ll grow in confidence as he discovers all the wonderful things life as a pet has to offer. A home with another greyhound may help him with this.
His sweet nature and willingness to learn could make Franky a lovely choice for first-time greyhound owners, provided they’re happy to take things at his pace and help him feel safe and secure in the big, wide world. He doesn’t need to be rushed; he needs someone who understands that confidence takes time to grow and that the smallest steps forward are worth celebrating.
Franky is a recent arrival at Crossing Cottage, so we’re still getting to know him and discovering more about his individual personality. He’s also currently recovering from a broken leg, so he’ll need the appropriate care, rest and guidance during his recovery before he can fully embrace his new adventures.
For now, this gorgeous boy deserves a little extra TLC while he heals, learns to trust his new surroundings and gets ready for the next chapter of his life.
Could you be Franky’s person?
If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly young companion and have the patience to help a sensitive little hound find his feet, Franky could be the perfect addition to your family.
His story is only just beginning, and we can’t wait to see him blossom in a home of his own. ❤️
