Meet Frances “Frannie,” an amazingly adorable 3 1/2 year-old bundle of love, excitement, and adventure!
Frannie is best described as a big dog in a small dog package. At 24 lbs, she is happy to lie across your lap or be picked up to put in the car, but she holds herself with the stature of larger pups. She is strong, energetic, and protective of the ones she loves. She enjoys getting attention and snuggling with her foster parents as well as wrestling with other pups.
She has unique brindle markings that make her look like she would be just as home running through the savannah as she is curling up on the couch! Her DNA test revealed Chihuahua, Beagle, and Springer Spaniel, but she has the athletic nature of a greyhound. A family who enjoys daily walks and taking their dogs on adventures would be an ideal fit for this active girl.
Frannie is housebroken, crate trained and knows basic commands and leash skills. She is spayed and up to date on her medicines. Frannie needs a patient family who will use positive reinforcement training as she is easily frightened by yelling or physical discipline. She has some reactivity to dogs she doesn't know, but once she is comfortable, she loves her dog friends.
If you are looking for a loving, loyal companion to share your days with, contact us for your chance to meet this lovely girl!
