MEET MS. FRANNIE….and this petite, sweet little b/w, 9.7 lbs, 5 yr old, Shih Tzu munchkin is perfection!  She is pint size but she has enough love to give an army!  She was dumped in the North Central Shelter with four puppies!  They were adorable but they looked nothing like her!  Other rescues opted for the puppies, we took Mama.  So glad we did!

Frannie is super affectionate and loving and wants to be right with you.  When you pick her up, she clings to you like she is hanging on for dear life.  She has hidden energy and lets you see it once she is out and playing!  When she plays, believe it or not she plays hard!!  Yet, she will climb up to kiss a baby and is gentle as she can be.  She is wonderful on a walk, usually does her business after a little while of exploring and is happy to greet strangers on the street!  She is friendly with everyone.  Frannie also loves for you to throw toys and she will dance around but doesn’t know what to do with them!  She’s a great eater and is very playful — but can also be shy at first and hide under the couch!  When she hears “let’s go for a walk….” she is ready!

Frannie could go into almost any home but we have learned she would prefer a home where she can cuddle with another small dog.  She would be good with kids over 8 yrs old — maybe a little girl wants to dress her up!  She’s ready for Halloween!  She is really too special to be home all alone and is perfect size to take her with you!  She would love that!  Does Frannie sound like she could be your next daughter?  We are sure to get a lot of applications for her…we definitely want the best for her.  P.S.  She loves her foster buddy, PIRATE!!!
