What’s better than peanut butter and chocolate? We might have said “absolutely nothing” before meeting Sloan. This adorable 1.5-year-old black-masked fawn Frenchie not only has the coloring of the delicious aforementioned pairing, but is also now available for adoption. After being surrendered by her previous owner for having too many dogs, Sloan is definitely ready for bigger and better things and can’t wait to hear from all her potential families.

This energetic bundle of joy has displayed several genuine passions while in foster care: snuggling, chasing squirrels, and chewing yak chews. After some vigorous zoomies, Sloan will curl up on your lap or burrow under the covers right next to you on a chilly day. If she had a choice, chasing live squirrels would be her number one, but playing with her squirrel and tree stump toy comes in a close second. And last but not least, she enjoys chewing on yak chews and then hiding them so that you have to give her a new yak chew. It’s a special talent she’s pretty proud of.

As is sometimes associated with a name like Sloan, she prefers hanging out with a more mature and respectful crowd. She has enjoyed the company of older kids and because she has a history of resource guarding food and toys, she must not be allowed around smaller children. She would probably be the most relaxed and comfortable as the only dog in the household, but has been successful with very slow and careful introductions to other dogs while in foster care. If she is living or engaging with other dogs, she must always be monitored around food and toys.

Sloan loves her people. As a self-appointed “snoopervisor,” she prefers to know where everyone is at all times so her new family should have someone home with her most of the time. She could probably transition into an awesome office companion as long as she is kept on a regular potty break routine. The only time she seems to have accidents is when she is left alone in the house for too long. She’s pretty anxious in a crate and if given too much freedom to roam, she finds things to keep her entertained such as chewing on boxes or furniture. If she does need to be left at home alone, she has done best for short intervals confined to one quiet room. One of her must haves in her new abode is a fenced yard. And if you live in an area where squirrels are native, she will put those applications at the top. But as long as she gets to safely explore and roam the outdoors, she will be a happy camper.

Sloan’s foster mom is smitten and wants everyone to know, “Sloan is an incredible dog. Writing this is bittersweet because I know she won’t be a part of my daily life after she’s adopted, and she brings SO much joy to it now. Whoever adopts Sloan should expect a 100% increase in daily joy, smiles and laughter. She’s not only a clown (doing zoomies, chasing squirrels and rolling over for tummy rubs), she’s also a loving cuddle bug (requesting to curl up into her trademark donut in your lap or snuggle under the comforter on a chilly morning). When you look into Sloan’s big light brown eyes, you can tell that her utmost goal is to love and be loved. She is eager to please and has ample room to grow and become a very well-trained dog. My hope is that whoever adopts Sloan has the room in their heart to love and cherish her as much as I know she will love and cherish her furever family.”

If it sounds like Sloan could be your kind of gal, apply now. If you are chosen to be her new family, take a day off, borrow your friend’s dad’s Ferrari and head to Georgia. She absolutely loves adventures and car rides so start planning the trip now.

FBRN does not ship dogs as cargo, so adopters are expected to pick up their dogs from their foster family.

FBRN dogs are in foster care in people’s private homes. For the foster families’ safety, we do not disclose specific locations and we do not set up meet and greets prior to applications. For detailed information about the dogs in our care, please read the extensive bios on each dog.
