Frankincense: More Than Just a Fragrant Name

While his name might remind you of an aromatic resin, Frankincense is actually your potential new best friend. This striking fellow looks like an English Setter and German Shorthaired Pointer mix, carrying a classic and athletic appearance.

In the shelter environment, Frankincense is shy and cautious. He is looking for a patient person who can provide a predictable environment where he can settle in at his own pace. He is the perfect match for someone who enjoys a quieter bond and the reward of earning a dog’s trust.

Frankincense has a recent medical history involving seizures, but he has been stable since starting his medication. Many dogs with similar conditions live full, happy lives that are defined by their personalities rather than their diagnosis. He would benefit from a medical foster home that can provide a consistent routine to help him feel secure as he adjusts. While he is perfectly capable of spending time on his own, having a dedicated caregiver to help him decompress in a calm space will make all the difference in his transition.

If you have a calm space to share, Frankincense is ready to find his sanctuary with you.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
