rancine may be considered a senior, but don’t let that fool you—she still has plenty of spunk, a playful spark, and a joyful little spirit that shines through in everything she does. She is incredibly sweet, the kind of dog who just wants to be close to her person—your shadow, your sidekick, your little source of constant love. Whether she’s trotting alongside you or curling up nearby, Francine is happiest simply being with you. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and carries herself with a gentle, kind energy that makes her easy to love. In the kennel, though, her heart shows in a different way—she gets a little sad and lets out the most precious soft “woo,” as if she’s quietly asking for someone to come find her. It’s impossible not to feel something when you hear it. Francine is currently heartworm positive, and because of this, she will be placed as a foster-to-adopt while she undergoes treatment. She’s looking for someone willing to walk that journey with her—to offer stability, comfort, and love while she heals. In return, she’ll give you everything she has… and then some. She doesn’t ask for much—just a warm place to land, a gentle hand, and someone to love her through this chapter of her life. Francine is happy, playful, kind, and so deserving of a soft place to call home. Anyone lucky enough to welcome her in will quickly realize—she’s not just a dog… she’s a little piece of heart, just waiting to belong. If you’ve been searching for a loyal companion, a quiet comfort, a tiny best friend who will be by your side through it all—Francine is waiting for you.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
