Meet Franco, a tall and lanky 6-month-old Shepherd mix who arrived as a stray on July 7, 2025, alongside his buddy (and possible brother) Vinny. With his golden tan coat, striking black facial markings, and soft brown eyes, Franco is as eye-catching as he is affectionate. He’s all puppy—bursting with energy, love, and curiosity—and while he still has some manners to learn, his eagerness to please makes him a perfect candidate for a forever family ready to help him grow.

✔️ A family willing to guide him with patience and positive training
✔️ Someone who will help him channel his energy into fun adventures
✔️ A forever friend who’s ready for a loyal and affectionate companion
