More about Frenchi

Frenchi is distinquished older lady who knows her worth! She’s smart, polite, and only barks when she has something important to say, like needing to go outside, wanting back in, or asking for help if she’s stuck somewhere. Frenchi enjoys relaxing and sleeping near other dogs, though she prefers calm companions and doesn’t appreciate playful energy in her face. If another dog gets too close, she delivers her signature “warning sound”—a dramatic mix between a snarl, cough, scream, and reprimand—to request some personal space. It sounds fierce, but Frenchi is truly all talk and no action. While she’s not a big fan of being picked up, she loves being close to her people and happily snoozes next to you on the couch or in your lap once she’s settled. She also enjoys following her foster mom around the house to keep tabs on things. Frenchi is fully potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, does well in a crate, and is highly food motivated—making her both a joy to live with and easy to love. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.   ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
