Hello, Frank Lambert here, to share some exciting updates on my progress!

I have been working hard to become the best version of me I can be in hopes of finding and bringing happiness to my furever family. Don’t worry, I am still my entertaining, sassy self and will try to get away with things if I can, but hey, it is all part of my charm!

My goofy shenanigans will be sure to bring joy and laughter into your life. I love to give and receive affection and will often choose neck scratches over a toy or even a treat sometimes. With proper exercise and clear expectations I can be a great family dog, no matter the size and shape of your family. My foster mom says I am a great work from home co-worker. I contentedly lay on my dog bed and self entertain with my toys during “office hours” and am just happy to be where my humans are. I have enough energy to keep up with teenagers and all their accompanying antics. I can calm down to be a good footwarmer for grandma during movie nights. I tested well with younger children but they are not always a fan of my gentle face cleanings.

I still have the manners I have always had; potty trained, crate trained (including an easy “kennel up” command), and basic manners (sit, down, paw, other paw, wait, and place command). I have really worked hard to improve on not barking at everything, I can even quietly watch the squirrels and bunnies in my yard despite them taunting me with their fluffy tails. I have improved on and continue to improve on my leash walking.

I am working on honing my overall obedience skills as well as some new tricks (touch, spin, and some boundary training since my foster mom doesn’t like me under foot in the kitchen).

I still have a great love of squeaky toys but I found a new love for canine enrichment puzzles. My current favorites are a treat dispensing toy similar to a kong wobbler/bob-a-lot and a raised slow feeder that makes me work to get all of the food.
I still need slow introductions with new dogs but after a couple slow intros we can be best friends. I have a few large doggy friends in current foster homes. I am so excited to see my friends that I start whining when we turn onto their street. We race around the yard taking turns being the one doing the chasing. We hunt for sticks together and roll in the long grass. Eventually we all lay down in the sun or shade based on our level of furriness.

I am just a good dog looking for a family to call his own. My foster mom has lots more she can share about what a good boy I am. She is looking forward to talking with you soon!"
