Francine

Francine is one of the lucky ones, and she knows it. She was found wandering the streets of Houston in January 2026, painfully thin at just 30 pounds, searching for food and survival. Despite everything she had been through, Francine never lost her gentle, loving spirit. She has made an incredible transformation, doubling her weight and continuing to thrive. Sadly, her foster mom is now facing a terminal illness and needs to find Francine the safe, loving home she deserves. Francine is estimated to be about 2.5 years old and appears to be a Lab/Hound/Great Dane mix with big paws and an even bigger heart. She is a total lovebug who wants nothing more than to be close to her person. She will happily lean into you, stand between your legs, and soak up affection, giving full-body hugs.

Ideal Home

Francine would do best in a home without small children while she continues learning her manners, due to her size and enthusiastic affection.

Ongoing Health

Francine is spayed and fully vaccinated.

Training & Support

Francine is crate and routine friendly, and is learning leash skills. Because of her past, Francine is still protective of her food around other dogs. She does great being fed separately and has shown no issues with people around her food. While new environments can feel a little overwhelming at first, Francine adjusts quickly. She is still building confidence with new sounds and environments and will thrive with a patient, loving family who can continue showing her that she is safe and will never have to fight for survival again. She has been around cats and shown minimal interest, but this is not fully guaranteed.
