Frankie was originally surrendered into our care when he was 4 years old. His new owner trained him well and gave him a wonderful home for 5 years. Unfortunately, due to a change in housing circumstances she had to surrender him, so we wanted to find a wonderful home for this 9 year old boy.
His new owners have fallen in love with him and have written his new chapter below.

"New House, New State, so it was only fitting for a new best mate for our dachy boy Cino, (insert Frankie) dachshunds are no stranger to our family, we have had our boy for 7.5 years, we knew moving away from the big smoke (Sydney) to an acre of paradise in “god’s country” after browsing DRA, we were drawn to Mr Frankie – long-lost brothers, they were identical.

He enjoys snuggling and would sleep in (our) bed or on the couch all day if we let him! When he hears the alarm go off every morning, he makes sure we're awake and up so he can sneak up the covers and grab a few more hours of Zzzz! With Frank around, there is no sense of urgency. Don't be fooled by his laid-back napping habits; this guy is also plenty of energy! He enjoys playing with his "babies" (stuffed toys) and taking walks & cruising the perimeter of the block, making sure we are safe.

He absolutely adores the beach and the car! He is very social, and he is helping Cino overcome his fear of those big, scary dogs. He also never passes up an opportunity to receive a treat (you get many when you are cute!), and he is a very good boy who eats all his fruits and vegetables. Frank (and Cino) are the typical Dach Security boys; they sit out front and alert us when anyone approaches the home.

Frank has been a fantastic fit for our family. He is the most friendly, affectionate, and easygoing dog. He is also a goofball! We are frequently told how handsome and well-behaved he is (they do not see the mischief he gets into at home!). We are so fortunate to have such a beautiful boy.

We continue maintaining contact with Frank's OG family, keeping them up to date on the boys' adventures (and trouble). We are very fortunate that our stars aligned, and our timing was right to be able to match up and have the opportunity to adopt him. He was a very lucky boy to have a loving family before us who were only doing what will be an enjoyable senior life for him to live out on our property, and we are very grateful for the love and care DRA has shown and assisted in."
