Meet Fran ❤️ Franny is a sweet, sensitive girl who's learning what it means to feel safe and loved. After a rough start in life, she's ready to leave her past behind and become someone's forever girl. When Fran first arrived in foster care, she was scared, skittish, and severely underweight. The world felt uncertain, and it was clear she hadn't always known where her next meal would come from. Little by little, she's learning that food isn't scarce, that people can be trusted, and that she deserves comfort, stability, and care. Give Fran a little time, and her adorable personality begins to shine. She'll roll over for belly rubs, seek out affection from the people she trusts, and happily snuggle up beside you. She doesn't ask for much, just kindness, predictable meals, a cozy bed of her own, and someone to love. Fran would be a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys a quieter, more peaceful lifestyle and is willing to let her settle in at her own pace. She's the kind of dog who repays patience and compassion with endless sweetness and loyalty. Once Fran knows she's home, she'll love you with her whole heart. 🩷🏡 Fran is approximately 2y 1m 10d old, approximately 30.6 pounds, and we estimate their optimal weight to be about 32 pounds. They are microchipped and up to date on all age-appropriate medical care. Their breed is unknown as we have not had a DNA test done. Although our dogs are listed as unknown breed, buildings with specific dog restrictions typically enforce their rules based on what breeds a dog appears to resemble. It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. This dog is available for adoption through Muddy Paws Rescue. If you're interested in adopting, the first thing you should do is begin the registration process at www.muddypawsrescue.org. If you are already a registered adopter with Muddy Paws Rescue, please email us at adoptionmeetings@muddypawsrescue.org.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
Meet Fran ❤️ Franny is a sweet, sensitive girl who's learning what it means to feel safe and loved. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.

It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
