About Francis

Francis is a senior Labrador Retriever mix, around 7-9 years old, and weighs a solid 75 pounds. He's a strong walker, so a little leash training could enhance your outings together. Francis is housebroken and maintains a tidy kennel, showing his good habits. He thrives in a home where someone is around frequently; he feels more at ease with human companionship. While he enjoys being around people, he tends to ignore other dogs at the shelter. However, meet-and-greets with other dogs are essential before any commitment. Given his size and energy, older kids would be a better fit for his forever home, and he should avoid living with cats. This loving boy is waiting for a caring family to call his own.
