My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

`Franny is a sweet, bright-eyed young pup with ice-blue eyes, pointy ears, and a gorgeous brown-and-white coat that makes her impossible to forget. Found as a stray with a suspected hind-leg injury, she’s shown no lasting issues—this girl walks, runs, jumps, and plays with zero hesitation. She’s still working on housetraining and can be a little shy meeting new people, but once she warms up she becomes a total lovebug who seeks out pets, leans in for snuggles, and will gently lay her head in your lap. She’s also a star with her two large resident dog friends, happily rough-housing, following their lead, and curling up beside them.

Outside, Franny is a joyful adventurer. She starts her walks with excited puppy energy but quickly settles into a nice rhythm and enjoys exploring the world at your side. Indoors, she’s learning her basics and truly wants to be a good dog—she’s already practicing “Sit,” “Down,” “Leave It,” and “Come.” Crate training is a work in progress; she sleeps peacefully in her crate overnight now that it’s in the bedroom, but she still feels some separation anxiety during the day. Having other dogs nearby helps her feel more at ease. Like any puppy, she loves bones, playtime, and the chance to bounce around with the people and dogs she trusts.

Franny’s ideal home is one filled with companionship—human, canine, or both. She thrives when she has company, structure, and opportunities for activity, whether that`s daily walks, hikes, or play sessions with dog friends. She’s gentle, affectionate, eager to learn, happy toward people, unbothered by dogs on walks, or even loud household objects like vacuums and four-wheelers. With consistency, patience, and lots of love, Franny will grow into a wonderful lifelong family dog. This sweet, snuggly, puppy-powered girl is ready to melt hearts in her forever home.`
