DOB 2004
Meet Francine – an older dog who was found by one of our volunteers in the middle of Abrams Road. She did not have tags or a microchip and flyers left in local vet clinics and neighborhood pet watch boards all went unanswered. This kind volunteer is fostering her now but we need to help find this sweet girl a home – there is nothing fair and it is very sad that a dog Francine's age is without the comfort of a home of her very own.
Francine is a boxer mix and she is estimated to be around 8 years of age but certainly still has some good years in front of her.
Her foster mom already has a female dog in the house and this dog has not taken kindly to having another female dog around. Francine is very mild-mannered and does not take up for herself in this situation but she would be great in a home with other non-aggressive dogs, cats and with children.
Francine is a gentle soul with a sweet kind looking face - but she lets her inner pup out when she's able to run in large open spaces. She is perfectly potty trained and walks well on a leash and loves a good belly scratch. She also likes to spend time just snoozing on her doggie bed.
Francine certainly deserves better than what has been dealt to her - will you let this sweet gentle girl retire with your family?
Francine is not at the shelter but is in a foster home so is you would like to meet her or ask more questions, contact adoptions@dognkittycity.org

Shelter Info...
The Humane Society of Dallas County has been a rescue organization since its inception in 1975. In 1987, we established Dallas' first no-kill animal shelter, Dog & Kitty City.
Our goal is to place healthy and rehabilitated animals into loving and responsible homes. We spay or neuter all our animals before adoptions, as this policy will help decrease animal over-population. We test all our cats for FeLV and FIV, and our dogs are treated for heartworms. Both are treated for parasites. All necessary vaccinations and medication are given as required.
In addition to our adoption services, we also function partly as a sanctuary by taking in difficult to place animals, older animals, feral animals, and FIV and FeLV positive cats.
Dog & Kitty City relies completely on donations from individuals and corporations. If you are interested, there are many ways in which you can help us. We are a non-profit 501.c3 organization, which means that all donations are tax deductible. Our service to the animals depends completely on the generosity of the community and our dedicated volunteers. We are able to help homeless animals only through the continued support from people like you.
Our mission has always been to make life better for animals by:
- Rescuing and ministering to the indigent animal population.
- Providing shelter, love and medical care for all of our animals until they find a loving home.
- Promoting responsible pet ownership.
- Providing on-going adoption support services to ensure a lifetime commitment from pet owners.
- Eliminating animal cruelty through education.
- Helping to reduce animal over-population with low-cost spay/neuter referral programs.
- Fostering a respect for all living creatures.
We are located at 2719 Manor Way in Dallas, between Mockingbird Lane and Inwood Road at the intersection of Denton Drive and Manor Way near Love Field Airport.

ANIMAL SURRENDER POLICY
Dog & Kitty City deals primarily with the homeless animals of Dallas and strives to be an integral part of a great city where all life is valued and cared for. If you have an animal who needs help, we accept them on a space available basis by appointment only. We must also require a surrender fee. If we are full at the shelter but we accept your animal into our foster program with you as the foster parent, we will support you in every way including paying for the costs of medical, food, and sterilization of the animal. We encourage you to attend our Adopt-A-Pets with the animals and post a picture and bio of the animal on our website.
