About Francois Local In

✨ Meet Francois -- the little poodle with a big story and an even bigger heart. This 10-year-old, 14-pound ball of fluff has the charm of a French film star and the comedic timing of a tiny, curly-haired Napoleon. He has faced some tough times, having been surrendered twice, but not once due to anything he did wrong. Despite his past, Francois remains gentle, loving, and hopeful. Francois is pure affection wrapped in curls, with plenty of pep still in his step. He enjoys walks, loves to ride in the car, and will melt right into your lap for a good cuddle. He’s fabulous with other dogs and brings laughter wherever he goes, galloping around like the smallest goofball. What Francois seeks is a home where he can be part of everyday life. He thrives on the companionship of someone who is home often, loves to take walks, and appreciates a cozy lap. Francois can comfortably fit into a household with other dogs or be your one-and-only. He does get anxious when left alone for long periods, so a more present owner would suit him best. This lovable gentleman is healthy and has been checked for heartworm, but he does have some skin issues that are currently being addressed. He is spayed, house trained, and up to date on vaccinations. He is not microchipped yet but expects his forever home to take care of that. Francois is ready to find his last, best chapter. Can you picture this adorable little fellow curled up on your couch or trotting beside you on lovely walks?
