Hi I'm Franklin! I am a around 2 years old. I am a Basset Hound and possibly some other types of doggos. I was found at a common dumping ground in rural Missouri. My foster family says I am a "snuggly hot dog." They keep going on and on about how cute my turned out feet, short legs, droopy lips and ears, long body and soulful eyes are. I love all humans and dogs I meet. I haven't had a chance to meet any cats yet. I am still adjusting to the good life. I am working on understanding my new house mates. I know I can figure it out eventually because I am smart and aim to please. Anyway, let's see what else...I love giving kisses. Oh, and I would love for you to be my fur-ever home!!!
