Franklin – The Life of the Party 

Quick Facts

  • Male Dapple Short-Haired Dachshund 10 months old (Born Dec 24), 4kg and growing

Franklin is a bright, bouncy little dynamo who lights up every room he enters! With endless enthusiasm and a zest for life, this young pup is equal parts playmate and cuddle buddy. He’s an outgoing, confident dachshund who thrives on adventure, affection, and being part of the action.

Living with three dachshund foster brothers, Franklin has learned all about good manners and pack life. He loves chasey, tug-of-war, and snuggling into a puppy pile when the day is done. Whether it’s a trip to the park, a car ride, or a game in the backyard, Franklin just wants to be where the fun is.

This little guy’s personality is as big as his heart. He’s loving, loyal, and full of spark — sure to bring endless joy (and laughter!) to a family that can match his puppy energy.

 Personality Highlights

  • Social Butterfly: Loves people, children, and other dogs (especially fellow playmates!).
  • Confident Explorer: Sometimes barks at big dogs until he realises, they’re friendly.
  • Affectionate & Cheeky: A cuddle bug who’ll happily nap on your lap once playtime’s over.
  • Smart & Curious: Quick to learn and eager to please — he picks up new things fast.

 Current Living Situation

Franklin is thriving in foster care with three dachshund brothers, a Rottweiler, and a Great Dane. He loves group play and would flourish in a home with at least one other friendly, playful dog.

He’s gentle and patient with young children and adores their company. Cats intrigue him — he’s learning to observe rather than chase.

Franklin is crate-trained, toilet-trained, and sleeps soundly through the night — often tucked under the doona with his foster siblings or a small human. No food or toy aggression; affectionate and eager to please. He thrives with consistency, positive interaction, and gentle structure.

 He loves walks, car rides, and playtime, so he’ll need a secure yard and a family ready for fun! 

 Franklin Would Thrive In a Home That Offers:

  • Another playful dog for company (he doesn’t like being alone for long).
  • A secure yard for safe play and bathroom breaks.
  • Regular walks, games, and stimulation.
  • A loving family who enjoys his affectionate, cheeky nature.
  • Patience, consistency, and gentle leadership.

 Health Status

  • Desexed; Fully Vaccinated; Microchipped and monthly Heart Worm/Tick and Flea preventions
  • Health: No known issues
