Forever Home Wanted: Meet Franklin – A Gentle Senior Labrador! Franklin is an eight-year-old, 72-pound Champagne English Lab who spent his life shut away in a shed before being rescued. Despite that heartbreaking start, he is one of the sweetest, most loyal companions you could ever meet. Franklin is fully potty trained, never destructive, and has excellent leash manners. He loves his daily walks around the neighborhood and golf course, carried along by his special harness when his back legs need a little support. Franklin has arthritis in his hips and back, so he’ll do best in a single-story home—ideally with carpet to help with traction. He would benefit from a family who can assist him when needed, though he’s shown that with his medication, he often requires much less help than you might expect. This mellow boy has low-to-moderate energy—he adores short strolls and squeaky plush toys but spends much of his day napping happily at his foster’s side. He is the ultimate Velcro dog, always following his person from room to room. Franklin sleeps peacefully through the night (even in your bed if you allow it) and has perfect house manners. He’s also a gentleman with grooming: nail…
