Our Animals

Francisvale has a large variety of cats and dogs for adoption. We have all-American mutts as well as pedigreed animals. Our population consists of adult animals as well as puppies and kittens. Our four-legged residents come to us in many ways. Some are strays, some have lost their masters, some have had to be given up by heartbroken owners. We use our knowledge and familiarity with our animals to facilitate a good match between pet and adopter. We encourage and provide an opportunity for each prospective owner to get to know his/her pet before adoption, including knowledge of the background, personal qualities and medical history of their animal. If you or a friend are considering adding a new pet to your household, please remember Francisvale. We have many four-legged friends here who would love to meet you.

Take a good look! Many new dogs and cats have recently arrived at Francisvale! (It is possible that not all animals at Francisvale are pictured on our website. Please see www.petfinder.com for more available animals or make an appointment to visit the shelter). Availability of dogs subject to prior adoption.

Free Training Consultations

All dogs adopted from Francsivale are eligible for free phone consultations with expert dog trainer, Wendy Young, of Progressive Dog Trainers. Not only do the dogs work with Wendy, but the staff and volunteers learn her gentle methods for training and are eager to teach you how to handle your own Francisvale dog. Make an appointment today to come to meet all of our animals for adoption!
