FBFC Rescue

As the popularity of French Bulldogs increases in Canada, so too does the number of French Bulldogs in need.

If you know of a dog in need or wish to volunteer, please see our rescue contact page here.

Above all, we need caring individuals and families to open their homes and hearts to give our ‘rescues’ the love and security that comes from having a family of their own.

Available for Adoption

Adoption Fee: $600.00

Kody

Kody is a sweet, mature (8 y/o) boy who loves everyone he meets.

Kody is being fostered with a dog now and they get along well. He spends time with dog savvy children and loves them doting on him. Kody has a history of IVDD so he walks with a bit of a wobble. That does not hinder him getting around, playing or going for short walks and he quite enjoys longer walks, outings and adventures while riding in his stroller!  Kody will need a home without stairs and with a backyard where he can be in the fresh air!  He thrives on human companionship and requires a family that is home much of the time and will not routinely leave him alone for extended hours.

Location: GTA, Ontario

Health / Behaviour

History of IVDD, hind end weakness. Sweet, fun, cuddly and loves to be involved in the daily activities of his people. Outgoing, playful, lovable. Can become anxious if left alone for extended hours.

Great with people and respectful, dog savvy children.

Requirements

Bungalow type house with few to no stairs. Stairs must be blocked off. Backyard for him to hang out in is ideal! IVDD knowledge a plus. Family that is generally home much of the day.

Available for Adoption

Adoption Fee: $850.00

Rupert

One year old Rupert is a sweet, sociable, playful, well behaved and affectionate boy. He enjoys the company of people and other dogs, playing tug, fetch and chase, car rides and cuddles. He can be a bit demanding and rambunctious in play and has a mind of his own, so non dominant resident dogs are best suited to minimize the likelihood of sibling spats. Rupert, being young, sometimes gets into mischief, checking out tables for easy pickings, grabbing toilet paper and even opening step on trash cans. Supervision, additional training and work on manners is needed. He has good recall and is fully crate trained.

Rupert came to us with a history of GI issues and allergies. He was diagnosed with a form of colitis which has resolved with proper treatment and is not currently an issue. He has allergies and food sensitivities, managed by a hypoallergenic diet.

Location: Nova Scotia (Halifax/Upper Sackville)

Health / Behaviour

Allergies, food sensitivities. No concerning behaviours

Compatibility: People

Good with all ages of people.

Compatibility: Dogs

Enjoys the company of dogs. Non dominant resident dog(s) ideal.

Compatibility: Cats

Unknown.Unknown. Has not lived with cats.

Adoption Pending

Nova

Nova is a cute, tiny 4 yr old Frenchie looking for her forever home. She requires a very specific home and family in order for her to thrive. A calm, low activity home with no other pets (dogs/cats), or children is required. Though Nova is a sweet and affectionate dog, certain noises (loud, high pitched, unexpected and sudden) as well as environmental stressors involving high levels of activity around her, e.g. lots of comings and goings of people in the household; and sudden movement can trigger reactivity.

She is currently taking CBD oil, which has made a moderate improvement in her anxiety.

Nova sleeps in her crate at night, and is known to bark in the am when she thinks she’s had enough of her crate. Currently Nova is doing well and enjoying life to the fullest, especially when she is just with her foster dad, going for rides in the truck, or chilling at their cottage.

A retired person/couple who are home often would be ideal. Dog experience, as well as familiarity with Frenchies quirks and temperament would be a strong benefit. A family that can accept and embrace her unique personality is essential. Awareness of her stressors along with a management strategy to minimize anxiety is important.
Nova likes the car and will sleep nicely in her car seat with no issues as all. She is fully potty trained. She understands basic commands like sit for meals and a very strong no when she is doing something she shouldn’t.

Nova likes to go for short walks. Given her structure she should not be doing a lot of jumping, running, or numerous stairs.

In the right home, Nova will make someone very happy! She’s a real cuddler.

Location: Ontario

Health / Behaviour

Good general health. Allergies. Chondrodystrophic structural anomalies, spayed, vetting up to date. Anxiety triggered reactivity related to noise sensitivity and high household activity level.

Compatibility: People

Good with people but due to described history of excitability and reactivity Nova will need a calm, low activity, adult only home. No children

Compatibility: Dogs

Best suited as an only dog.

Compatibility: Cats

No issues reported

Requirements

No young children. No other dogs. Quiet, adult home. Breed and behaviour experience beneficial.

Placement Assist

Charlotte

Under our Placement assist option, owners look after the care needs of featured dogs and we manage adoption protocol. Applications and screening are done through Rescue. Adoption fees apply.

Charlotte is a loving, sweet, adorable little girl with a perfect temperament. She is 6 years old and weighs a very portable 16 lbs. Unfortunately, as the result of IVDD and disc rupture, Charlotte is paraplegic. This, however, does not slow her down or diminish her zest for life in the slightest. She is pain free, loves to cuddle, enjoys her meals and treats, thrives on the company of people and pets and scoots around the house without a hitch. Charlotte has a cart for outdoor walks and took to her wheels like a pro the day her cart arrived. Charlotte will need a family that is familiar and comfortable with the care requirements of a paraplegic dog. Breed familiarity and IVDD knowledge is helpful. Charlotte has mild allergies, controlled by diet and medication when needed. She needs regular bladder expression and a consistent care routine, but looking after Charlotte is not difficult or any more time consuming than that of any dog. She is great with all people and pets and is a total delight!

He is a smart boy and knows a list of commands such as sit, stay, lay down, and off. Benny is dog reactive and selective with people but has had positive experiences with both when properly introduced.

Dolce

Under our placement assist option, dogs remain in the care of their owners and FBFCR manages the adoption process. Application review and screening is done through Rescue. Adoption fees apply.

Dolce is a sweet and loving 4-year-old girl looking for her forever home. She does well with other dogs outside of the home but will need to be the sole pet in her household as she is a resource guarder and can be territorial. She is a friendly girl and loves meeting new people on walks. Her favourite activity is playing with her soccer ball around the yard. She does well when new people come into her home, but when Dolce is put into a new environment, she can be protective of her owner. Dolce has pancreatitis which will need to continue to be managed by a low-fat prescription diet. She would do best in a home with no young children and with a dog experienced owner who is willing to provide structure and guidance.

Theo is a loving, energetic and playful 3-year-old boy. He takes time getting to know people and will need a calm and patient family to help build his confidence. Theo is housebroken, crate trained, and does great on Leash. Theo has been trained to stay off furniture and knows commands such as sit/down, place, and crate. He experiences seasonal allergies which are being managed with vet prescribed medication.

Due to resource guarding tendencies, Theo would be best suited as an only dog and requires a home with no young children. He responds well to being corrected on leash/collar and it is recommended that he keeps his leash/collar on until he becomes comfortable in a new environment. He will need an owner who is dog experienced, comfortable managing his behaviours, and patient while he becomes comfortable.

Under Assessment

Leonard

Welcome Leonard to FBFCR!

Leonard is an absolute sweetheart! He is polite, well behaved, affectionate, social and playful. He enjoys walks, car rides and the company of people and dogs.

We have no history on Leonard since he came to us as a medical needs shelter transfer. He appears to be a mature dog, but given his current condition it is hard to accurately guess his age. He is very underweight, has digestive issues, skin damage, poor coat, crusty ears, broken teeth and decreased vision in one eye. Additional medical assessment is needed.

Leonard is loved and safe in foster care now and he will get the care and attention he needs as we work to get him healthy and ultimately ready to find a perfect forever home.
Donations to help with Leonard’s care are appreciated.

Leonard is not yet available for adoption.

Her favourite things to do are go on walks, play and cuddle up with her family members. Nala came to us with a diagnosis of epilepsy, currently well controlled. She has not had any seizures since starting medication but routine followup and possible medication adjustments in the future may be required. Nala’s forever family must be willing and able to manage any future veterinary care and medication costs. Nala also suffers from allergies, which will need further investigation.
