Frankie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 3 months

🐾 Meet Frankie – Looking for a Forever Home 🐾 Meet little Frankie, an adorable 12-week-old Jack Russell cross who is full of fun, character and a huge zest for life! ❤️ Frankie is a lovely, well-balanced little pup who can be playful and lively, but is also surprisingly calm and settled when it’s time to relax. 🥰 Frankie’s mum is a tiny Jack Russell/Chihuahua cross, and she’s a lovely-natured little girl too, so we expect Frankie to grow into a wonderful companion with the right guidance and training. As with any young puppy, Frankie will need a family who understands that puppies are hard work as well as lots of fun! 🐶 We’re looking for a home with: 👧 Children aged 8+ who are dog-savvy 🐾 Families who understand those needle-sharp puppy teeth! 😂 🏡 Someone prepared for all aspects of puppy training, including toilet training, basic manners, socialisation and helping Frankie grow into a happy, well-behaved adult dog. Frankie is ready to start his next adventure and is looking for a family who will love him, guide him and make him part of their lives for many years to come. ❤️🐾 Could Frankie be the little one you’ve been waiting for?

About Frankie

What life with Frankie looks like

Frankie is a very small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Frankie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Frankie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Frankie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Frankie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Almost Home Animal Rescue NI will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Frankie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Frankie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Frankie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
