Frank is a 6-year-old Pug/Chihuahua in Manchester, NH, who needs $2,000 for Nail Removal/Correction Surgery.

Frank came into my life almost 5 years ago. Since I was a child and saw Men in Black, I always wanted a pug named Frank. So when I saw Frank, previously named Rascal, posted on Facebook Marketplace for free, I just had to have him. I’m not too entirely sure of what his life was like before I got him, but he didn’t even know his own name (Rascal), when I got him.

Frank is my second child. Him and my toddler daughter are best friends. Frank sleeps in bed with us, either in between my legs or literally in my arms. When I got him, I had to teach him how to be a dog. He didn’t know how to play with toys or fetch, but now he has a rope he loves playing tug with and his favorite toy, a raccoon. He comes anywhere and everywhere with us and protect us, his girls.

Frank’s most notorious for his singing. He legit sings at the top of his lungs, more times a day than I can count. He gets the cutest zoomies ever when he gets excited. He also loves getting dressed up in his coats and sweaters and going out to strut his stuff. He has the biggest personality I’ve ever seen in an animal and is one of the many reasons he is my best friend. He has saved my life.

Frank was injured by a groomer about a year ago and ever since, nail trims have been a battle. It has been challenging to find a groomer that has the patience to help him, I’ve taken him to countless. His nails have now grown to the point that one is growing into his paw pad. It is red, swollen, bloody and pussy at times, and two others are crossed. He’s in extreme pain and needs urgent treatment.

I am a single mother of a two and a half year old girl and was laid off from my job a few months ago, so I rely on child support solely. It would mean the absolute world to have Frank back to himself again. I’m in pain seeing him in pain, and I just want my happy boy back.
