About Francine

Meet Francine! This striking black Labrador Retriever mix weighs about 58 pounds and has an array of unique features, including long legs and a distinctive nose. Her personality shines brighter every day as she enjoys her life with her foster family. Sweet, silly, and playful, Francine loves splashing water from her bowl, often viewing it as an opportunity to decorate the kitchen floor. She’s made great strides in potty training and is currently mastering crate training, although being confined isn’t her favorite activity just yet. Francine adores chewing on bones and has formed a bond with her foster brother, Zuul, a pittie. They enjoy their playtime and then often relax together on the couch. One of Francine's endearing habits is her "Francine flop," where she melts into the floor seeking affection. Currently underweight, she’s on her way to filling out and will be a substantial girl once she reaches a healthy weight. Francine is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and shows friendly behavior towards dogs, making her a delightful companion. If you're searching for a playful and goofy addition to your family, Francine could be the perfect match for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
