NB: We do not rehome interstate or to applicants under 25. It is our policy not to rehome dogs in the Sunraysia area. As rescue groups have transported thousands of homeless dogs from Mildura and Sunraysia pounds over the last decade, we do not intend to send any back there.

Breed: Male Dachshund
DOB: 29/12/2016
Weight: TBA
Location: Patterson Lakes

Frankie is a sweet, cheerful little sausage with a heart full of love and a tail that just won’t stop wagging! This confident and happy-go-lucky Dachshund is an all-around delight – whether he’s enjoying the company of his foster siblings or entertaining himself with a good sniff around the garden, Frankie’s contentment is contagious.

He’s a big fan of the outdoors and especially loves watching the world go by.  But don’t worry – Frankie is also a professional couch snuggler. He’s absolutely mastered the couch ramp (and is very proud of it!) and adores curling up under his blankets, often tucking himself in all on his own. It’s impossibly cute.

Frankie is affectionate and loves pats and cuddles during evening downtime. He sleeps peacefully through the night and has settled into a calm, easy routine. When you come home, you’re greeted with full-body wiggles – from the tip of his waggy tail to the tip of his nose – pure joy in dog form!

He enjoys meals al fresco and will politely let you know when he’s ready to come back inside. Around other dogs, Frankie is friendly and respectful. He loves the company and will happily try to initiate play, though he’s very understanding if his doggy housemates aren’t in the mood.

While he’s mostly house-trained, he’s still learning the ropes in a new environment and would benefit from ongoing guidance and regular toilet breaks. He’s used the doggy door a few times but prefers the classic scratch-at-the-door method – those little legs might be giving him a bit of a challenge!

On walks, Frankie is a bit of a star. He keeps a great pace on his short legs, walks beautifully on a loose lead, and has excellent recall. While he doesn’t know many commands just yet, he’s very responsive and eager to be involved in whatever’s going on.

Frankie would thrive in a loving home that appreciates his sweet nature, snuggly habits, and zest for life. Whether he’s curling up in a cozy bed or trotting beside you on a walk, Frankie is ready to bring joy, love, and a little bit of sausage-shaped sunshine into your life.

Ready to welcome this little legend into your home? Frankie’s waiting with a waggy tail and a warm heart.
