Meet Francine—the enthusiastic employee who's applying for one very important position... your best friend. Francine is equal parts athlete, genius, and cuddle expert. She's incredibly smart, eager to learn, and will do just about anything for a tasty treat. Whether she's mastering tricks, solving food puzzles, chasing her flirt pole, or proudly carrying around a Kong, she's happiest when her brain and body are busy. When the workday is done, Francine clocks in for her favorite shift: being your shadow. She adores people, happily accepts pets from new friends, and believes bedtime is much…
If Francine isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
