Francis Great Pyrenees Mix Fredericksburg, VA

Approximate Age: 5-6 years old
Approximate Weight: 56lbs

I am Francis, a gentleman’s name for a true gentleman. I am a smart cookie and look to the humans for commands! I am so well behaved- I mind my own buisness at the adoption center and play well with the other dogs. I enjoy humans but am not the needy type. My dream home would be in a less populated area. I am such an easy going guy, but I just really do not like cars. I love to just trot around in the yard and look at the wildlife. I also love to play with my stuffed toys and throw them around. The center can be overwhelming through the bars of the kennel so I would love to find my home. I do have some stranger danger in the house and will need a confident and patient adopter that is willing to work with me on remaining calm and kind with guests. If I sound like your guy… well.. pick me!

You can come adopt me or even join our foster program to help the humans learn all the awesome things about new dogs like me! Learn more on our website!

Hope to see you soon!

** Medical note **I am Lyme positive. Treatment is typically 28 days of doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic). With this disease, a dog may always test positive even if treated. The adopter is responsible for treatment, including cost. Its always a good idea to plan to keep your dog on a joint supplement for life.

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there’s official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.

Adoption Donations are $275 for an adult, $375 for puppies (a dog under one year of age), and $175 for a senior dog (based on the age of the dog). Adoption donations are to be made via cash, check, and credit/debit card. There is a $5 fee to run cards.

Please remember to bring a martingale collar and leash (non-retractable) with you the day of the adoption.

We typically have adoption events on Wednesday 5-7pm, Fridays 6-8 pm and Saturday noon to 4pm. Our adoption center is located at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. It's important that you keep an eye on your emails for any changes or updates during the adoption process.

Old Dominion Humane Society is a volunteer based organization. We are run completely by volunteers, who also have full time jobs, so we appreciate your patience. Currently, the average timeframe for a response to your application is 1 week.
