✨ Meet Frankie — our one-of-a-kind escape artist turned sweetheart ✨
Frankie’s life began in hardship. He was found locked inside a chicken coop in the remote mountains of South Korea, abandoned and left with nothing but fear.
It’s no wonder that, during his first week in foster, he would panic around doors — even trying door handles to escape, once even pushing at the front door. 💔 This behavior seemed more like a compulsive response to doors than true separation anxiety, likely tied to his early trauma of being confined.
But here’s the miracle: once Frankie feels safe, he blossoms. 🌱
Over time, he learned to relax — staying calmly in his designated room while his foster worked elsewhere, waiting quietly in a crate, and curling up near the bedroom door at night. With routine and reassurance, Frankie doesn’t try to escape anymore in familiar environments.
