Rose says Frankie is very well-adjusted to his new home, though he is still coping with his partial blindness.

“”He loves his new home where he is meeting lots of new people and experiencing new things,” she says

The sweet boy’s favorite activities include going for walks, chewing and playing “find it” with his treats.
