Hello! My name is Francisca, Fran for short. Do you love hugs? I certainly do! They call me a Velcro dog, I just like being stuck to you. I am a very loving girl who will sit on the couch with you, cuddle, and give you Fran kisses. I love going on walks. I won't mind if you forget my leash, I won't stray far from you. My fosters say my recall skills are excellent. I don't know what that means but we can figure it out together. Chewing on bones is my favorite and I don't chew on anything else. I [...]

Melody is a goofy girl that loves hanging out with her family.  She is happy to go on a long walk or run, but is just as happy snuggling with her people. Melody loves car rides because they mean adventure! When a walk starts she is so intrigued by all the smells that she can pull a bit, but with a little correction she walks pretty well and is getting better with training. She gets along well with other dogs and even likes to play with cats, but sometimes forgets they're smaller than her, she's [...]
