Fluffy Francie made her way to NCCR on 7/25/25, ready to begin her new life. After years of producing puppies for profit, this 5-year-old mini poodle can’t wait to put all that behind her and make a fresh start. This little cutie is a bit fearful and shy – growing up and living in a breeding facility isn’t a great way to build positive opinions of people! She is waiting for a family who can let her come out of her shell at her own pace, who will teach her that not all humans are scary, and that living in a home like a “normal” dog can be a wonderful thing. With love, kindness, and patience, little Francie will blossom into a best friend for life!
From her foster mom: Francie is a very sweet puppy mill mama survivor. Approx 5 years old & 20 lbs. She is housebroken. As with all of these breeding dogs in these situations she is shy and does need to learn to be a “normal” dog, so a confident resident dog in the home would be ideal. Francie will follow her human around and “bop” you with her nose for attention and then give the sweetest lil kisses. She is quiet and polite. Love, Patience & Time is the formula for these type of dogs to blossom into beautiful companions. You definitely would have a friend in Francie❤️ People, dog & cat friendly.
A fenced yard is required.

If you think you might be interested in adopting; complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Francie is sponsored by The Courtine Family in memory of Shiloh, Mark Swanson, Jason Weaver, Jim Mayshark, and Sarah Tykowski. Thank you!
