FRANKIE

Sex: Male 
Age: 5 years (Jan 2026) 
Size: Large (35-37kg) 
Location: In UK kennels – Cambridgeshire area 
Needs: A home used to large dogs that can offer good regular exercise, patience and lots of love. 

Frankie is a large, handsome boy with a heart full of love. Rescued as a pup along with his littermates, Frankie’s early life was tough. Their mother had stopped feeding them, and without rescue, they wouldn’t have survived. A local dog rescue took them in, but after struggling to find homes for them, they reached out to Animal Friends of Turkey (AFOT) for help. Frankie has been with us some time which is why we made the decision to send him to UK Kennels, so that people could visit and see what a wonderful dog he is.

Frankie’s journey hasn’t been easy. He and his siblings were isolated and not properly socialized due to the pandemic, which made them nervous and timid when they first arrived into our care, but Frankie is no longer the shy, uncertain dog he once was. While he may still be quite cautious and timid with new people, once he trusts you, Frankie will be the most loyal, affectionate companion, you will know how much he loves you with the affection he shows you. He’s ready to shine in a loving home where he can really be the dog he was always meant to be.

Frankie is a super-affectionate boy who loves to be stroked and cuddled. He’s very food-oriented, so easily trainable, enjoys his walks, and walks extremely well on a lead. As an energetic large breed, he will need plenty of exercise and a securely fenced outdoor space where he can play and burn off some of that energy. Frankie can jump very high, so a rigidly secure garden is essential for his safety.
Frankie is super dog-friendly and loves to interact and play with other dogs. He could happily live as the only dog (providing he could interact when out) in the home or with a resident female. His stunning appearance and unique markings make him a real eye-catcher, and his friendly, affectionate nature will make him a beloved member of any family.
Frankie hit 5 years old in Feb 26 , is neutered, vaccinated, and chipped, and he’s eager to find his forever family.
Frankie is currently in UK Kennels in the Wisbech area of Cambridgeshire where visits may be arranged and which we would happily encourage.

Important Information

All our dogs will be tested prior to leaving Turkey for the following diseases:

BRUCELLA
LEISHMANIAS
ANAPLASMA
HEARTWORM
E-CANIS

Proof of tests and accompanying signed vet letters will be sent to adopter.

A home check is always made.

We provide a lifetime rescue back up (RBU) and work to DEFRA guidelines.

While there is no adoption fee required, we do ask for a voluntary donation to help towards our costs of between £595-£795. Each dog costs us on average £2500-£3000 to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome and our adoption donation is only a small proportion of this.

We rely solely on fundraising for the remainder plus any emergency treatment needed to help these abused, neglected and abandoned animals which are often in horrific condition and desperate need when they come into AFOT care.

Every penny we raise goes towards rescuing another dog, so even if you decide not to rehome one of our dogs today, please consider a donation so that we can continue to rescue another dog in the future.
