FRANCINE

Francine is a one-year-old Pit Bull mix with a heart that's growing braverevery day. She arrived at the shelter with her best friend, Frederick, andtogether they're happy, confident, and ready to take on the world. On herown, though, Francine is still building confidence in our Shy Dog Programand learning that life without Frederick isn't quite so scary. A friendly,confident dog in her future home could really help her continue to blossom. Once she feels comfortable, Francine's fun side shines! She has plenty ofyoung-dog energy, loves splashing in the kiddie pool, knows sit, and takestreats ever so gently. She's a little jumpy and could use some basictraining, but she's eager to learn and ready for adventures with her newfamily. Because she's still a shy girl, we recommend a meet and greet with anyresident dogs and a home with kids 12 and older. With a little patience,encouragement, and maybe a canine role model, Francine is sure to grow intoa wonderful lifelong companion.
