At Home With Fran began with one very special greyhound, Frangipane. Born into the racing industry in Ireland, 2011. Her life changed when she was rescued by Tracy at GRACE (Guisborough based Greyhound Rescue and Coordinated Emergencies) and adopted by me in 2017.

Fran adored comfort — soft blankets, well-fitting coats, and homemade treats made just for her. Wanting the very best for her, I began baking natural dog treats in small batches in my own kitchen, carefully choosing wholesome ingredients and avoiding anything artificial or unnecessary.

What started as love for one dog grew into a passion for all rescues. I donate my baked goods to the canine attendees of the GRACE Meet and Greet events , making bandanas and bows to order, all whilst working part-time.

In 2025, we said goodbye to my beautiful girl. Though she is no longer by my side, she is at the heart of everything I create. Her gentle spirit and indomitable strength continue to inspire every batch baked and every piece sewn.

At Home With Fran is about more than treats and textiles. It’s about passion, love, upcycling, remembrance and that something special and unique. It’s about celebrating the dogs who turn our houses into homes.

Whether you’re here for something practical, something delicious, or simply something made with love, I’m so glad you’ve found your way to At Home with Fran, where everything is handmade and natural because our dogs deserve nothing less.
