🌟 Meet the delightful Francis! At just 8 months old and approximately 10 pounds (as of 10/14), this enchanting Chi Mix is on a quest for the perfect loving home. She’s estimated to reach a snuggly weight of about 15 pounds once she’s all grown up. Francis is eligible for our heartwarming foster-to-adopt program, so if that sounds like your vibe, you can connect through the Buddy App to start this beautiful journey! Now let’s talk about this lovable lady’s personality! 🐶 Francis is a sweet, silly, and rambunctious girl who can be a bit shy at first. But once she gets comfortable, oh my, does she burst out of her shell! 🪄 Always the brave investigator at home, she’s the first to check out new toys and items, although she prefers to keep her distance from the wild world outside. This little sunshine loves to bask in the sun, cherishing every sunbathing moment she can find around the house! ☀️ Francis adores her walks, especially with her K9 foster brother, but it’s true that she takes her time adjusting to new environments—she likes to ease into her business in fresh settings, so a calm pace is key 🐾. While she’s friendly with other pups, she’s a bit shy around strangers. So, if you’re a gentle soul ready for slow meet-and-greets, you and Francis might just be the perfect match! And let me tell you, she’s a cuddle bug extraordinaire, always up for those behind-the-ear scratches. 🥰 Now, let’s get real for a moment. Francis will need an intermediate-level owner who understands that raising a puppy requires love, energy, and patience—after all, this little gal will need significant structure and daily exercise (90 minutes of playtime, pot breaks, and fun brain games!). It’s an exciting rollercoaster that demands an active lifestyle and adaptability. Adults only, or families with kids aged 12 and up who understand how to be gentle during playtime. Remember, this little love is still figuring out her world, so a calm environment is essential. 🏡 She needs someone who understands her shy nature, welcomes her cautious approach to new people, and is committed to her training. And believe me, training will be a blast—Francis is learning the ropes! Let’s not forget her adorably unique sounds; true to her chihuahua spirit, she’s got a small but mighty bark! So, if you’re a calm and loving human just waiting for this charming girl's magic to light up your life, it’s time to take action!
