French Fry is as goofy as he is charming; the only thing that this sweet senior would love more than playing a game of fetch is to find his fur-ever home. He's potty trained, does amazing when left alone at home, and is generally easygoing - all he asks is that you supply him with lots of cuddles and balls to fetch! This goofy boy is blissfully unaware of his size, and will happily do his best to curl up in your lap. French Fry is so ready to love his family that he wants all of your attention to himself and would like to be in a home with no other dogs. In addition to his family, he loves playing fetch, swimming, long leisurely walks, car rides, and generally being your best adventure buddy! He was with who he thought would be his forever family for 3 years before they had to return him due to personal circumstances, and he has been waiting patiently for a new home ever since. French Fry quickly steals the hearts of any staff member or volunteer that he meets, and is waiting for the opportunity to steal yours!
