Franklin is approx. 10 years old, I just picked him up on Sunday from his owner, who has only had him for 2 months...and she got him from the previous owner who had him only a month...who got him from an owner, who had him 6-months and it just goes on from there. Everyone has complained about his seperation anxiety and that he picks his person, then aggressively protects that person by charging & biting. Franklin was going to end up at the pound. So...I had to at least give this lil' fella a chance. He gives kisses & likes to sit on your lap.

His name was originally "Frankie"....but "my" Frankie just past away on New Year's Eve at the age of 17 yrs. old....and it was just too weird to call him Frankie, I tried but it just didn't feel right. Anyways, He is doing great with all the furbabies and he even plays with Lil' Ally a little bit....which he needs, because he is very overweight for his body frame.

I've come up with a plan regarding his "aggressive protectiveness toward just one person"....he's going to sleep with my son & hang out with him when he's at home...and then I'm going to tend to all his needs during the day....splitting it up between 2 people that he relies on. Hopefully, his seperation anxiety will lessen since he will have lots of fur-siblings to keep him company....I wanna try that, before taking the medication route. So...wish us luck, because this lil' guy doesn't need to keep getting passed around.


Bossy Mr. Franklin
This is what I get when I don't throw the ball quick enuff for Mr. Franklin!






Rescued on the sameday!


Sir Franklin





Franklin loves to chase balls!! Hopefully, with decreasing his daily food and exercise he will be able to shed a few pounds.

Hi Franklin


We just wondered how you were doing these days, if you have adjusted well in your forever home -we can't imagine you being given up again. You have sure been misunderstood, haven't you? I've had to stay with other people temporarily while my Lady left the country, but she always comes back. I am very adaptable to my new surrogate family after a couple of days of mourning, but I am always so glad to see Lady come home to get me. Lady always leaves me with the familiar, so I know it is my temporary home. Home is where my blankie, dog dishes, toys, clothes, and crate are. I stick like glue to whomever Lady hands me over to until she comes back. And she always comes back. Now I have a big extended family who loves me very much. I am too old to travel internationally -it's too hard on our organs, so I just wait for my Lady to return. Let us know how you are doing these days, Franklin. We care.

Hi Franklin!


How lucky for you that your mom understands that some doxies have "issues" that are no fault of their own. I can't imagine no one wanting a good lookin' guy like you...but you know what? The same thing happend to me...only my former family didn't want me because I turned out to be larger than a miniature. Like you, I found a loving home where my mom and dad don't care if I'm not petite. *Hugs* Boomer

Franklin just needs time, routine and security - with lots of love!


Imagine if you were passed around like an inanimate piece of nothing; it would be no surprise that it would take time for him to feel secure. Dachshunds are VERY smart animals, and as agressive as he may seem now, it stems from confusion and not belonging anywhere, hence never having a chance to learn acceptable behavior. Get into his head, if you can, because empathy is key; give lots of treats and good feedback for what he does RIGHT, instead of just correcting what he does wrong. I know you'll know what to do; don't give up on him, use a crate to separate him if he's being nutty to give him time to calm down, and make sure you let him know you have faith in him, that he has a wonderful, brave heart, that you understand his confusion and his pain, and that you, with love, will show him the way to his place in your pack and to peace in his heart.
