About Franco

Meet Franco, a spirited 2-year-old German Shepherd/Labrador mix making his way from Texas to find his forever home. Weighing in at 60 lbs, he was rescued from a challenging environment, and he's ready for a brighter future. Franco is a happy, friendly, and playful dog who thrives on companionship. He gets along beautifully with older kids, other dogs, and even dog-friendly cats. With a medium energy level, he enjoys leash walks, playing in the water, and chasing after his favorite rope and stuffed toys. Snuggling is one of his specialties; he loves to share dog kisses and will alert you only when necessary. Housebroken and good in a crate, he settles down quickly, especially at night. This affectionate goofball is not only smart but eager to please as well. Don't miss the chance to bring this sweet boy into your life! Adoption Fee: $400. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
