Franklin

This 10 year-old love muffin is summed up perfectly by his temporary caretaker, who says with a giant, affectionate smile on her face, “He is beautiful and busy!” This cute, 39 pound sweetheart was on the euth list at a high-kill shelter after being found as a stray. Immediately, he won the hearts of volunteers with his hilarious antics—he will do anything to make people laugh, and once he finds something that works, whether playing ball, or enthusiastically scratching his back on the grass, he will keep it up—and soon after was rescued by a wonderful foster. Benjamin Franklin adores his canine foster siblings, and is so smart he’s already learning his basic commands. He is curious, and loving, and an absolute joy to be with. His enormous heart is matched by his energy level, and while he is never obnoxious, Franklin would be happiest with a family who—regardless of how small their home—would be able to give him regular exercise. In exchange, this sweetheart will offer up a lifetime of hilarious laughter and unending love.
