It is with a heavy heart that we tell you Francie, a Bill Foundation rescue, has passed away. While she never found a permanent home, she was the darling of the foundation. Francie was featured in numerous newsletter articles and appeared in several Bill Foundation videos and slide shows. A natural actress, she starred in "Bill Foundation is There," a video set to music on the plight of homeless dogs everywhere. While her own happy ending remained elusive, she had many foster moms who loved and cared for her. Francie came to Bill Foundation in 2005 as a senior but you would have never guessed her age. She was active, alert and always happy. She will be missed by many but lives on in our hearts.

We hope you will celebrate her life with us by enjoying two of Francie's more popular newsletter articles and of course, her video.
