Frannie is a gentle, easygoing hound with soulful eyes and a signature bay that makes her unforgettable. She walks beautifully on a leash and loves slow strolls and basking in sunny spots. Frannie enjoys the company of calm dogs, but she has a history of challenges in previous homes. She has been returned due to incidents of humping a housemate and potential resource guarding around food or resting places, particularly with a female in the home. While these behaviors haven't been observed during her current stay, it's important for potential adopters to be aware of them. Frannie has been with us since 2021 and is eager to find a stable, loving home where she can truly shine. She is happiest lounging near her person, enjoying the outdoors, and being part of your daily life.
Ideal Home
Frannie may do best in an adult-only home, ideally with a single person, possibly a man, who has experience with hounds, understands resource guarding, or is willing to learn and implement guidance. She is a natural barker and would thrive in a home that doesn't mind a little background commentary.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned, but she has had past behavioral concerns.
Training & Support
Frannie has a history of humping and potential resource guarding. Adopters should be prepared to manage and redirect these behaviors, especially around food and resting spots. Experience with hounds and resource guarding is beneficial, as is a willingness to seek guidance and provide structure.
