About this Dog
Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. • Energy level: medium • Potty training: working on it/belly band • Fenced yard: preferred • Shared walls: no • People: all • Dogs: all • Other: special diet and health needs Overview Meet Dr. Frank-n-Furter, a charming 14-year-old brindle dachshund with a quirky personality and a heart full of love! This sweet 15-pound gentleman came to Little Paws when his previous family couldn’t manage his medical costs, but he’s ready to find a family who will love him just as he is. Frank is a very happy dog who aims to please and loves to be with his people. Despite being a senior, he still has that classic dachshund spirit and energy for short walks and playtime. He’s got a chatty personality and listens remarkably well for a dachshund—he’ll come when called and go to his bed or outside on command (except when it’s raining!). Environment Frank loves being outside but doesn’t necessarily need a large yard—a deck or patio where he can lounge in the sun would make him happy. If there is a yard, it should be fenced for his safety. He’s not a fan of long walks but enjoys short strolls and adventures. Frank will need a home without shared walls as he can be quite the chatty fellow! He’s comfortable in a pen and will settle down once you leave, though he may bark initially. He’s great in the car and immediately goes to sleep once he’s settled in. Pets & People Frank is absolutely wonderful with people of all ages. He’s friendly with everyone and loves meeting new people—he’s never met a stranger! He’s been around children, including a six-year-old, and does great with them. Frank gets along very well with other dogs and seems to enjoy being part of a pack, though he could be perfectly happy as an only dog too. He’s more interested in interacting with people than playing with other dogs, but he’s friendly with his canine companions. Frank is very food motivated and loves to eat—sometimes a little too much! He’ll snatch food from other dogs if given the chance and tends to eat everything off the ground, so he needs close supervision. Health Frank requires ongoing medical care that his future family should be prepared for. He has a history of bladder stones and will need to stay on Hill’s Prescription c/d food and treats for life—no other food or treats allowed. He also has skin allergies that require regular Cytopoint injections and potentially medicated baths if they flare up. Due to his bladder issues, he doesn’t always manage to hold it for outside. We’ve been using belly bands and he doesn’t mind wearing them! Location Dr. Frank-n-Furter is available for adoption from Arlington, VA. Please email [email protected] with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Dr. Frank-n-Furter is $250.

The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Dr. Frank-N-Furter, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Dr. Frank-N-Furter's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Dr. Frank-N-Furter was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
