Hello! My name is Frankie (Paws in the Pen)!

Here’s what my friends at Española Humane say about me:

- Frankie is soon to be "paw-roled" from our Paws in the Pen program in partnership with the New Mexico Corrections Department! Each dog is paired with two inmate trainers and enrolled in an 8-week training program that is designed to equip the dog with a nice foundation of training that will help them succeed in their new home. Each of these dogs will go home potty and crate trained with a whole list of cues and basic behaviors; to ensure a successful adoption, we are providing four training sessions to adopters, so you can learn what your dog knows, and an invitation to weekly discounted drop-in classes. These dogs also go home with a biothane leash and collar, 6 months of heartworm prevention, are fully up-to-date on all vaccines and medications, and are spayed and neutered.

If you're looking for your very own New Mexico brown dog, Frankie is your girl. So pretty, with the softest coat, it's anyone's guess what combo of breeds makes her as cute as she is. Frankie has done very well in her training, and she loves pets and affection. She is figuring out how to play with other dogs - she loves to be chased, but is a little awkward and unsure with dogs that have big personalities, so she's still getting the hang of it. She looooooves to ZOOM! She would be in heaven to be able to run a property, play in the water during the summer, and bound through the snow in the winter. Frankie would love to go home with a family who will spoil her rotten with love and adventure.

If you’re interested in adopting me, fill out an application to get a jump start on the process! We don’t offer holds on shelter pets, so c’mon in to meet and greet to decide if you’ve met your match. Applications for pets in foster care, at Ojo Santa Fe, or offsite in other programs will be reviewed by staff before appointments are scheduled.
