Francesca's Story

Hi there… I’m Francesca<br/><br/>I’m a 3-year-old and a 40.3kg (88.6lbs) fluffy beauty with the softest coat and eyes you can absolutely melt into (or so I’ve been told!). I may be a little shy when we first meet — especially with men — but if you give me a little time and a gentle introduction, I promise I’ll show you my sweet, loving heart. Once I know you’re safe, I’m all about connection and being close to my people.<br/><br/>I’m a strong girl on leash and still polishing up my walking skills. Sometimes I get a bit excited when I see other dogs or people from a distance and might bark to say, “Oh wow, what’s happening over there?!” But with space and guidance, I settle beautifully. I’m smart and eager to learn — I just need someone patient who understands me.<br/><br/>I’d love to be your one and only pup so I can soak up all the love and attention. I should also mention that I prefer not to share my food — I’ve shown some resource guarding around meals and high-value items. That just means I need clear boundaries, structured feeding routines, and humans who respect my space while I eat. With the right management and positive reinforcement training, I can continue building confidence and trust.<br/><br/>Because I’m strong and can get bouncy when excited, I’d do best in a home with teens 15+ or adults who can help me stay grounded and confident.<br/><br/>What I’m really looking for is a calm, predictable home with kind, experienced humans who believe in positive training and see the good girl I truly am. Give me structure, patience, and love… and I’ll give you loyalty, sweetness, and those irresistible eyes every single day<br/><br/>My adoption fee is $400 and includes my spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, dewormer and a microchip. If you want to learn more about me, please come visit the GTHS and speak with one of the amazing Adoption Counsellors! The GTHS is open for adoptions from 12pm-4:00pm, every single day of the week and they would be thrilled to introduce you to me! I can't wait to meet you and am looking forward to starting my new life with my new family!<br/><br/>Could I be your girl?<br/><br/>Francesca
