Luna

Luna was surrendered to the French Bulldog Village by her breeder in Missouri who wanted this little retiree to have the best possible home. There is no question that our girl Luna deserves the very best that life has to offer. Completely unperturbed by back to back trips from Missouri to Massachusetts, and then only days later a impromptu Labor Day weekend trip to Pennsylvania with her foster mom and her dogs, Luna has demonstrated her ability to have a good time wherever she goes. She is laid back girl with a willing heart, always ready to eat, play, or love – her personal mantra!

Don’t think that Luna is a push over, because she certainly is not. She took over her foster home’s household in the space of an hour or so, selecting the best bed and bones for herself, but magnanimously allowing the resident dogs and cats, and her little fellow foster Frenchie Bree, to share her space. She is a very intelligent, very self confident dog, who knows how to end conflict before it even starts. She is extraordinarily calm and slow moving, but somehow, she always manages to be the first in line for soup, and if there is an empty lap to be had, she’s in it.

Luna’s Gallery

What you read here is based on Luna’s observed behavior while in her current foster home.

Luna is just a marvelous dog. She has all the best qualities of a French Bulldog – intelligence, patience, a deep and abiding affection for the people around her – without any apparent faults. Well, she does love to eat, and will happily overindulge, but that’s a trait she shares with her foster mom, so we can’t be critical. She loves to play, and can move with surprising speed for such a full bodied girl. All of the other dogs in her foster home are smaller than she is, and two of them are handicapped – she is mindful of those handicaps and plays very gently with those dogs.

Cats are no trouble for her at all. She just cannot be bothered with chasing them, and she doesn’t appear to mind an occasional tail in her face, a cat snoozing next to her on the couch, or even a cat wandering through the kitchen during mealtimes.

After just a short time in her foster home, she has already demonstrated that she knows how to behave like a lady. She eats loose with the other three dogs in the kitchen without any aggressive posturing or bowl surfing at all. She also caught on immediately to appropriate toilet habits, and she has not had a single accident in the house. Of course, she is not left loose unless her foster mom is home to supervise her.

She is not a barker or a demanding girl, although she does love attention and will hopefully thrust a paw, followed immediately by her face and then the rest of her ample self, into her foster mom’s lap whenever she sees the opportunity for some one on one time. She goes into her crate without protest, although she has made it clear that she prefers the couch!

Luna will do best in a quiet home with another good natured French Bulldog with whom she can play. Cats are perfectly welcome and safe with Luna. She especially loves to be around people and adores to be in the middle of an afternoon gathering of good friends, where she can listen to the conversation and soak up large amounts of attention and hors d’oeuvres. This is not a dog that would thrive with minimal attention – she deserves a large circle of friends to call her own.

Zoey

Early one morning, a shelter staff member at the Lake City Animal Shelter in Lake City Florida pulled a sweet little snowball of a creature out of the overnight drop box outside their front doors.  The Lake City Shelter is a high volume kill shelter. Fortunately for Miss Zoey, the folks at the Lake City Animal Shelter decided that she was indeed a French Bulldog, despite evidence to the contrary, especially ignoring the curly tail that curved up over her back and wagged like she was trying to leave the ground like a helicopter, and they alerted the French Bulldog Village to her plight.

She certainly is not a purebred French Bulldog, but the FBVillage decided that there was enough French Bulldog contained in the little Lake City refugee  to justify taking her into the rescue and helping her to find her forever home!

Zoey’s Gallery

What you read here is based on Zoey’s observed behavior while in her current foster home.

Zoey’s favorite activity is snuggling and being with people. She also loves to play fetch and chew on bones.  She enjoys looking out the window on her evening car rides and sharing a pastry from the coffee shop on the way home. She is a very feminine dog, and she loves getting a bath and looking pretty.

Zoey gets along with other dogs. She has made several attempts to play ‘tuggie’ with her foster brother and sister to no avail. She can sometimes be defensive when unfamiliar dog gets too close to either of her ‘ends’, but she quickly adjusts her attitude when verbally corrected. She’d love a another dog that was willing to play with her.

Zoey is very fast to learn and will catch on extremely quickly. Her foster home is very impressed with the ‘vocabulary’ that she’s learned in the short time that she’s been in foster care.

Zoey does show signs of obsessive compulsive behavior.   When she is particularly stressed or uncertain, she will manifest her OCD by repeatedly chasing her tail.  She was doing it frequently in her early days in foster care, but the behavior has lessened as Zoey has become calmer and more comfortable in her foster home.  Her repetitive  behavior is not so severe that it is debilitating or self destructive or requires medication.

Zoey would love to be someone’s little princess to primp and pamper. If you can make her dreams come true, please contact us!

Honey Bunny

Honey Bunny first came into the French Bulldog Village in late June 2010 as an owner surrender from Georgia because her owner did not know how to handle her possessiveness over food and toys.  When she arrived at FBVillage, the poor little girl was covered with bite marks and full of fleas. She was very timid and would cower at the sound of a person’s voice.

Once she had a flea bath her skin was able to clear up; and she quickly adjusted to life in her foster home. Honey Bunny has turned out to be a happy, playful young dog, who loves any activity that she can spend with her human companions; from playing ball and going for walks to just snuggling on someone’s lap.

Honey Bunny’s Gallery

What you read here is based on Honey Bunny’s observed behavior while in her current foster home.

Honey Bunny is a timid dog and easily startled. If she is frightened, she will hit the ground and roll to her side. She is wary of men, but after three weeks, she did warm up to her foster mom’s husband, son, and father-in-law. She definitely prefers the company of women – she will run at full speed to jump into her foster mom’s or her daughters’ laps! She loves to cuddle and play.

Honey Bunny has been introduced to the foster family’s dogs and cat. She gets along with everyone and has even bunked with the cat and the foster family’s two daughters.

She needs a strong pack leader who will love her but not treat her like a human baby. She needs to have structure and rules to remind her of her place in the pack. She has lived peacefully at her foster home with the other dogs, but due to her reported history, it would be best if she were the only dog or placed with one other easy going dog. We will not even consider placing her with small children because of her object guarding.

Honey Bunny does love to take car rides, so if you like to travel she would be a great “Thelma” for any “Louise”!

Honey Bunny wants and deserves someone to call her own. If you have time, patience and love to spare please consider Honey Bunny.

Every now and again, we really have to dig down deep into our hearts to decide whether a life is worth saving. It’s not all that hard a decision to make when you’re willing to put your common sense aside and just look at that little face looking back at you. At least it wasn’t a difficult decision for our wonderful volunteer, Pam Mayes, a well respected dog rescuer in Birmingham Alabama and the founder of Alabama Pug Rescue and Adoption, Inc., who is also a devoted French Bulldog owner. When we told her about our little French Bulldog puppy with legs that didn’t seem to work at all, Pam didn’t even hesitate. She immediately agreed to take her in.

Emee’s Gallery

We contacted Pam because of her expertise in caring for special needs dogs, and the resources that she had available to her in the veterinary community. Emee has congenital abnormalities that cannot be surgically corrected. Officially, her prognosis is poor to guarded, but that just words on a piece of paper. That isn’t anything to do with Emee.

When anyone first meets this happy, friendly little pup, their response has consistently been “What do we need to do to make life better for her?” Everyone has enlisted in “Emee’s Army”, from her foster home to her veterinary surgeon, neurologist, physical therapist and rehabilitation veterinarian, and they are all making a difference for this little sweetheart. In the short time she has been in rescue, she has already learned to roll over onto her back and to hold toys between her little crooked paws. She is even able to scoot across the floor on her belly to fetch a toy and to return it.

Her foster mom is being instructed in canine massage therapy to assist Emee recover from the spasms that wrack her body. A special chair is being designed for her that will help her to exercise. Emee’s Army is determined to explore all the avenues that can make life better for Emee. We are hopeful that Emee will continue to respond to the therapies she is undergoing, but we are very much aware that this sweet little French Bulldog will require special care, patience and understanding for the all of her life. Please keep this very special K-kid and her caregivers in your prayers and positive thoughts.

Please consider contributing to the K-Fund so that we can continue to help Emee and others like her, who, without the care and attention of dedicated foster homes, will never make use of even the very limited resources that they have. A donation in any amount, no matter how small, is much needed and very much appreciated. Just click on the donate button, and be sure to say it’s for Emee! Thank you!!

Friends of Emee!

He had been a bit subdued the day before, and that very morning he had vomited a little in his bed, but he still went out with his best bulldog buddy, Hula. They liked to sunbathe together on the deck. His foster mom went off to work for three hours, and when she cam home at 1:30, he didn’t want to have anything to eat or even get out of bed. so his foster mom made an appointment for him that afternoon at 5:00. Spike never made that appointment.

“I made some business calls for an hour and went to check on him and he was gone. I was only sitting about 15 feet from him. He looked like he was sleeping. I took him in to the vet’s office, and he called me later to say Spike had a tumor on his spleen that had ruptured. He thinks the tumor had only been there for 4-5 weeks and that there was no way of me knowing that it was there. Spike will be cremated and his remains will stay with me.

I was so optimistic that he was doing better. He was putting on weight and actually having firm poop for the first time. I was hoping to get him ready for the French Bulldog Bus once his poop straightened out. He still didn’t have bladder control, but a towel on the belly on our way to the back door worked just fine. I laughed the other night because I forgot the towel and picked him up to go out and he sprayed the entire sliding glass door with urine. I didn’t mind at all. I did laundry every day for him.

He had a funny little walk due to his spinal surgery but was a very sweet loving dog who was kind to all two and four-legged creatures. He had a lovely frog face that could make you melt. He will be missed by everyone at home but especially by Hula who is being awfully quiet tonight and won’t go outside without him.”

Pictures of Spike

Spike never spent a day when he wasn’t loved, first by the military family stationed in Germany who brought little Spike back with them to the States and who paid for his surgery when he developed a sudden paralysis in his hind legs, then by the FBVillage volunteers who took him in when his dad was deployed and his mom could not look after several small children and provide Spike with the post operative care and attention he so desperately needed, then by the volunteers who banded together to take him on his long journey across country to his final foster home in North Carolina, where Melissa loved and spoiled him for fourteen happy months.

By all accounts, he was a most marvelous little creature, described by his owner’s little daughter as actually six animals in one: “He’s a dog, a bunny ‘cause he hops around when excited, a skunk (what Frenchie isn’t a stinker at times!), a pig when he eats, a bat with those big ears, and a frog of course!” We would like to imagine that all six manifestations of Spike are now happily cavorting on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, strong and whole again, and having a wonderful time…

The FBVillage has so many applicants from the North and the East that we thought we might just move a few Missouri and Oklahoma FBVillage foster dogs a teeny tiny bit closer to all those wonderful applicants… To that end, we’ve convinced Kathy Clayton, our FBVillage Mid West Regional Manager to pack up her van and to drive from Missouri to New England with a special cargo.

Here are the six little French Bulldog girls who are packing their bags and their picnic lunches and heading for parts North and East at the end of August as part of the FBVillage Band of Traveling Sisters!

ROSE!

This is Rose. She is a very pretty five year old French Bulldog, who is as sweet as she looks. Rose was purchased by a Missouri breeder who very quickly discovered that something was very wrong with the little French Bulldog. A trip to the vet confirmed her fears. Rose suffers from dry eye, and her inability to produce enough tears to keep her eyes lubricated has left her nearly blind. Shortly thereafter, Rose found herself in the custody of the FBVillage. Now she is looking forward to riding the van part way across the country and then heading north to her new foster digs in Traverse City, Michigan, thanks to the generous transport services of our fundraising coordinator, Amy Hammer and her equally generous mother. She’s already looking forward to cooler weather and hitting the tourists up for their baguettes.

PEANUT!

This is Peanut. She is a tiny seven year old French Bulldog who was so badly injured in an unfortunate kennel accident several years ago that she has lost the use of one ear and most of her eyesight. It seems that the unfortunate little dog was so viciously attacked by the other dogs in her run that they tore her face off. Her owner’s quick intervention saved Peanut’s life, and her veterinarian was able to put her back together again, but the damage was already done. Now her owner is no longer able to keep her, and little Peanut is having to start all over again. We found an extra special spot for Peanut to wait for her new home. Amy and her mother are driving the little dog to Canada , where she will stay with Carol Gravestock in Durham, Ontario, Canada, where the grub is ALWAYS good, and the company fantastic. Keep an eye out for her on the FrogDog Blog!

SUZANNA!

This is Suzanna. She is a friendly little five year old French Bulldog who is leaving the van midway to go south to Colora, Maryland. Suzanna was turned over to the FBVillage by a Missouri breeder, who decided it was time for her to retire, and Suzanna has decided to turn into the wild redhead she never had a chance to be when she was raising puppies. In fact, Suzanna does rather enjoy chasing children and scaring them silly (she really IS just playing), so we’ve found an experienced trainer for her, so that she can learn to behave a little more decorously before moving on to a forever home. And who is taking her to Maryland? Why Amy and her mother of course!

BREE!

This is Bree, and at two years old, this little French Bulldog is the youngest of our family of travelers. She had a terrible start, suffering from mysterious lesions in her mouth that left her tongue misshapen. To compound her woes, an impossibly long palate left her struggling to breath. Financially overwhelmed, her breeder turned her over to the FBVillage so that she could get the care she needed, and palate surgery has made it possible for our little princess to breathe properly at last. We still haven’t got to the cause of the tongue lesions and to the source of all that drool, however. Perhaps we can find a home for her with a friendly Newfoundland and a patient owner with a drool cloth perpetually tucked into her belt? Bree is headed for Deerfield, New Hampshire, where her foster mom’s rescue friendly vet can continue to monitor her health.

GENIE!

This is Genie, who is still patiently waiting for her foster home assignment. She is an impossibly goofy looking little three year old French Bulldog with ears that look like they might improve satellite reception, and the rest of Genie is just as silly as her ears. Her breeder turned her over to the FBVillage when it was clear that she just wasn’t going to have any puppies. Period. She will most likely end up somewhere in New England. Who could possibly resist a face like that? The WebDog and his friend Clovis the Pug are already saving their pennies to buy her tassels for her ears.

ELLIE!

This is Ellie. She is a very serious five year old French Bulldog who is not given to frolic. She has paid her dues as a working mother, having produced two litters for her breeders, and now she has been released from mama duty and is finally free to seek her inner puppy. It might take some doing, but we are sure that Ellie will eventually learn to have fun. Ellie is also still waiting for her foster home assignment. Expect to find her popping up somewhere on the East Coast!

So if you see a van go by on its way East this August, the windows packed with smiling Frenchie faces, be sure to wave! It just might be Rose, Peanut, Suzanna, Bree, Genie, and Ellie, our own little band of “sisters” on their way to brand new lives…

Jackson

Jackson is a French Bulldog/Boston Terrier cross, what is commonly known as a Frenchton. He is a strongly built, happy little dog, with a friendly and outgoing personality, and enough energy to power a dozen dogs. He loves his mom to death, and he loves his buddies at the doggie day care, and he even loves the sleepy Basset Hounds in his current digs, even if they don’t really love him. This is a dog with places to go and things to do, and not enough time in the day to do them.

Unfortunately, Jackson has a problem bigger than he can handle alone. He used to live in a small studio apartment in New York City with his mom, but she worked ten hours a day, and there wasn’t much to do in that apartment all by himself, so when his mom got home, poor Jackson was nearly crazy with boredom and anticipation. Doggie daycare helped, but it wasn’t enough, and his mom finally realized that she and her beloved pup were not the match made in Heaven that she had hoped they would be.

His mom found him a new home in Rhode Island, but the resident Basset Hounds were quickly overwhelmed by the antics of their Energizer Bunny of their new baby brother. That’s when she contacted the FBVillage for help. Both his mom and his Rhode Island family want the best for this little dog. Now Jackson is waiting anxiously in Rhode Island for the perfect home to come along and all his dreams come true. The Basset Hounds are waiting anxiously too!

Jackson’s Gallery

What you read here is based on information provided by Jackson’s owner.

Jackson is very energetic, very intelligent, loving and outgoing little dog who never seems to have much down time, despite pictures to the contrary. He gets along with dogs and cats and kids, and he’s always looking for someone to throw his ball for him. Jackson could field for the Red Sox! He is ball obsessed.

Jackson is not an aggressive dog by any means, but his habits of mouthing hands and bouncing like a canine Tigger make him a very poor choice for children, whom he could easily overwhelm or frighten without intending to. He would do best with an owner who is experienced with active French Bulldogs or Boston Terriers, and while he did enjoy playing with other dogs at daycare, since leaving New York, his play has occasionally escalated into aggression with other male dogs.  For this reason, other dogs in the home will only be considered if the applicant is very dog knowledgeable and capable of managing a high energy dog.   The more time his new owners are prepared to spend interacting with him, the better.  This is not a dog that would do well languishing at home waiting for his owner to get home.  A fenced yard is a must.

Jackson was very closely attached to his owner, and he needs an owner who can appreciate the strength of that attachment. Lots of love and attention are as necessary to this young dog’s well being as are exercise and social interaction. He has had obedience training and is eager to work for that ball. In the right home, Jackson could very well turn out to be the ideal companion.

If you can provide an active and loving home for our athletic little friend, please fill out an application to bring Jackson home!

Honey

Poor little Honey came from a backyard breeder who really didn’t how to properly take care of the French Bulldogs that she owned.  Honey’s uterus was riddled with scar tissue, and the C-section staples that held it together after her last delivery had become infected.  As if that were not enough trouble for any one dog to face, she had also developed IBD (Irritable Bowel Disorder), and was nevertheless happily subsisting on a diet heavily laced with Nutter Butters, her breeder apparently not having made the connection between a dangerously queasy stomach and a diet loaded with fat and sugar!   It was more than time for someone to come to Honey’s rescue!

Unfortunately for the Good Samaritan that liberated Honey from the breeder AND the Nutter Butters, Honey absolutely loathes other pets.  Other dogs are not to be tolerated, and cats are only welcome when they are buttered and served on toast.  Honey needs a home all for herself!

Honey’s Gallery

What you read here is based on Honey’s observed behavior while in her current foster home.

Honey’s Good Samaritan had her vaccinated and spayed and has got her weight back up and her good health restored. She looks great, and now it’s time for her to pack her little designer bags and move on, so that all of the animals currently in her foster home can breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Despite her lack of good will towards the family’s other pets, her foster family does love her very much and will miss her when she is gone. Honey does not extend her dislike for other animals to the people around her. She is a friendly, outgoing little dog who absolutely adores people, including children. She is a sweet, cuddly, snorty little girl, who loves laps and loves to express her appreciation with all those amazing little noises that only a French Bulldog can make. She walks nicely on a leash, and she pays attention to her foster mom. Her new owner will enjoy spending time with her. Her foster family certainly does.

Her ideal forever home would not have other pets. She is a diva, after all. Older children are preferred, even though she has done well with her foster mom’s nieces who are under five. She must be an indoor dog – this is no yard ornament! She likes to run around and explore, so a fenced yard would be a real plus.

Po

This tiny little sweetheart of a French Bulldog has a very serious problem. She has, in the vernacular, a “bum ticker”. You would never know anything was wrong with her to look at her. She is playful and loves to run around (she is FULL of energy ). However, heat and humidity are very hard on her (her veterinarian says this goes along with the heart condition).

Her current owner had purchased Po as a puppy with the intent to show her. When she took Po in for her normal veterinary examination at about 6 months, the veterinarian heard a heart murmur, so her owner followed up with an echocardiagram. To her horror, she discovered that little Po had severe pulmonic stenosis. Her heart at that time was already somewhat enlarged. Since that time, Po has been to several veterinarians (for 2nd opinions and re-checks). The decision is that she cannot have any type of surgery (even spay surgery is out of the question).

Poor little Po. She could live for years, or she could be gone tomorrow, or… she could start showing signs of distress and then some decision would have to be made. Poor, poor little Po.

Po, of course, says, oh nuts to that! Carpe diem! She is thoroughly enjoying every minute that life hands her, which is why her owner has finally decided to try to find her a home that can spoil her and love her, and most of all, not make her share with a whole bunch of other French Bulldogs. Sharing, Po asserts, is VERY BAD for the heart. VERY BAD. Everything should belong to Po.

Po’s Gallery

What you read here is based on Po’s observed behavior while in her current home.

Po is a friendly and outgoing little French Bulldog, with just a touch of the devil in her. She knows all of the Frenchie tricks, like lying out in the back yard until you walk up to her and then making a mad dash for the door. She walks nicely on a lead, loves to ride in the car, loves to go visiting. She probably wouldn’t mind sleeping by somebody’s side at night, and watching TV from a comfortable couch is a given.

Even though she gets on well with the other French Bulldogs in her current home, she would do much better as the one dog in a quiet house, rather than out raising a ruckus with a pack of other Frenchies, although perhaps one quiet, laid back male dog might make her a good companion.

Po is looking for a really special person who would understand the serious of her medical condition and realize that we don’t know how long she will be around, but who will love her and allow her to enjoy her life in spite of her handicap, but who will still take care to keep her safe from being overheated or overstressed. It would be wonderful for her to live in a home where she was the only dog, so that she could get as much attention as possible. A fenced yard is a real plus, but Po should never be left unsupervised in the yard because of her sensitivity to heat and stress. However, if you need a companion to hang around in the yard with you and supervise (and maybe dig a few extra holes) while you garden or help you turn the pages while you read a book, then Po’s your girl.

Of course, preference would be given to someone who has previously lived with and loved a dog with pulmonic stenosis, or to a veterinarian or a veterinary technician who is familiar with the condition and who would not go to excessive measures to keep her going at the expense of quality of life.

If you can provide a special home for a very special little dog, please fill out an application to bring Po home!

Jesse

Jesse first came into the French Bulldog Village in July, 2009 as a breeder surrender.  When she was turned over to rescue, the poor girl was covered with sores, the result of playing in a yard that had been freshly treated with chemical spray.

Once her skin was cleared up and she had adjusted to life in her foster home, we placed this sweet girl in February, 2010 with a new owner in Texas.  Unfortunately, the resident French Bulldogs decided they wanted no part of their new sister and bullied her so unmercifully that her adoptive owner finally decided to give her up after less than two months in her new home.

Now back in FBVillage foster care, Jesse has recovered from the traumas of her first placement, and is back to being the friendly and outgoing sweet little dog that we remember.  Once, again, she’s ready for that new home.  No bullies please!

Jesse’s Gallery

What you read here is based on Jesse’s observed behavior while in her current foster home.

All that Jesse wants really is someone to call her own.  She gets on just fine with other dogs and with cats, and she enjoys their company, but people are her first love.  She wants people to cuddle with, she wants people who will fuss over her and include her in everything they do.   She makes friends wherever she goes because of her obvious appreciation of all that attention.

Jesse does not have very good hips. Her ball sockets are nearly nonexistent, and only muscle and ligaments hold her legs in place, so she does get tired if she has to walk any distance, and she can’t do stairs. On the upside, she isn’t in any pain from her joints, and she can run into the kitchen just fine. She does love to roll around town in her foster sister’s stroller – it sure beats walking in that Texas heat!

Jesse knows how to use a dog door, and she is used to sleeping in her crate.  She doesn’t give her foster mom any trouble, not even when it comes to cutting her stubby black nails.    She loves her food and is very hopeful about handouts whenever she sees anyone having a snack without her.   Her favorite activity is playing doggie supervisor to her foster mom.

If you think you have the kind of laid back, sociable lifestyle that would enjoy the addition of a friendly little French Bulldog who wants nothing more than to be somebody’s best friend, then please consider Jesse!
