The fourth dog of Christmas...Frankie
Frankie is an irresistible labrador cross who is shy with new people, but will flourish in the right family home - could that home be yours?


Adopt a rescue dog - Frankie
Up next in our 12 Dogs of Christmas rehoming series with Dogs Trust is the wonderful Frankie, a lovely four-year-old labrador cross.
Frankie is an intelligent and active boy, who would love to find a new family to share playtime with. He enjoys meeting other dogs and making friends and, in true labrador form, he loves his food!
Although extremely affectionate once he gets to know you, Frankie can get a little worried and nervous about meeting new people so would love a rural home with a garden away from busy roads that he can run around in.
This beautiful dog would really benefit from a few visits from his new family in order to allow him to get to know them but in the right home where he can settle down, Frankie will flourish.
If you think that Frankie would complete your family, call Dogs Trust Loughborough on 0300 303 0292 or visit their website at www.dogstrust.org.uk. As Frankie is a little nervous of new people, he lives in a quieter area of the centre where visitors are unable to see him straight away, so please do ask about him at reception.
