Franco von Hoffmann is a handsome 3 year old German Shepherd. If you're looking for a medium sized lap dog, look no further. Franco is the most loving, affectionate dog who loves to snuggle up in your lap (as much as a shepherd can fit). He is a favorite with the volunteers and enjoyed being brushed by one of them. (while laying in her lap) Francis is on the smaller side, maybe around 55-60 pounds, so he will be the perfect fit for someone who wants a shepherd but not quite a full sized big shepherd. He's also great with other dogs and would be happy having a play buddy.
