Francis

Fantastic Francis is a charming, loving boy looking for a new home where he can build his confidence and learn to be a pet dog. He enjoys sniffy walks at his own pace, where he can take everything in and do his own thing. He can be nervous of new people and busy environments so would suit a quieter home, where he can grow in confidence and get used to new experiences slowly. He is looking for patient and understanding owners who will take things at his pace, as well as provide him with the ongoing training and socialisation he needs. During his time here his fun, curious side has started to show and in the right home this will likely come out even further! Francis will make a wonderful companion for the right person or family.

Other Notes

Francis can live with dog confident children from 14 years of age upwards, provided they give him space when needed. He could potentially live with a calm, large breed, adult dog, subject to a successful meet at Mayhew. Francis has been microchipped, neutered and vaccinated and is up to date with flea & worming treatment. He has also been health checked and behaviourally assessed. Lastly, every dog adopted from us will go home with 4 weeks free pet insurance.
