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.

Our Dogs

Photo of Kody

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.

Compatibility: People

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

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!

Stitch

Welcome STITCH to FBFC Rescue

STITCH is an adorable , friendly, playful and social, ~4 month old puppy. He came to us as a shelter transfer, initially picked up as a stray. We fear he may have been abandoned since he has ineffective bladder and bowel control.

Stitch is not in any pain, is very mobile and runs around, plays and gets into mischief just as all puppies do.

He has been assessed by a neurologist and most likely has a congenital spinal abnormality, possibly spina bifida. To determine the exact nature of the problem he will require an MRI.

Stitch is currently in short term foster care and will need a longer term placement. If you are able to help please submit a foster app. or contact us with questions.

Donations to help us raise the $5-6000 needed so we can move forward to get Stitch an MRI would be greatly appreciated.

Levi

Welcome LEVI to FBFCR!

LEVI is a sweet natured, playful 8 year old that came to us as the result of owner care challenges. We were told that he had skin damage related to allergies, but were surprised to see just how widespread this was. We also discovered that Levi has a serious, common antibiotic resistant urinary tract and kidney infection as well as some abnormal blood chemistry values. We are awaiting further test results to see just what is going on with Levi and what treatment he will need going forward.

Levi is under assessment and not currently available for adoption.

Moose

Welcome MOOSE to FBFCR

Moose is a mature boy who came to us as a shelter transfer. He is a very sweet, , happy, good natured guy that loves to cuddle, loves his meals and is good with other dogs, cats and respectful children. He came in underweight, but has gained steadily since coming into care. Moose has rear weakness and is unable to bear weight on one hind leg. X-rays showed it to have a shattered tibia(hind leg). This is not a new fracture and is not currently painful. We will be investigating best management strategy after Moose’s general health and body condition improve. He is currently under assessment, getting medical care and enjoying all the love and attention he so deserves from his amazing foster family.

At this time we are asking for donations to help with his care as he will be needing extensive medical treatment.

Tippi

Welcome 3 yr old TIPPI to FBFCR

TIPPI was surrendered to us with a history of severe, chronic, treatment resistant ear infections. She was a much loved pet, but financial constraints made her care costs unmanageable for her family. Tippi loves all people, is sweet and sociable, but does not like other dogs in her space or near her person.

Tippi has allergies which will need ongoing management and she will need full assessment of her ears. This may involve advanced diagnostics like CT scan and specialist consults as well as prescription medications and diet. Donations in any amount to help us cover Tippi’s ongoing expenses would be most appreciated.

Tippi is under assessment and not yet available for adoption.

Frankie came to us as a shelter transfer with behavioural concerns around crates/crate doors/gates. His foster parents are working with him slowly to lower his anxiety around these triggers.

Frankie would do best in a home with someone home often. He enjoys walks, sitting outside people watching and is a cuddly guy who loves attention. Frankie is smart and knows some commands - he is very food motivated!

Health / Behaviour

Anxious/reactive to crate gates. Frankie develops triggers easily and has some separation anxiety.

Compatibility: People

Great with people. No young children due to his reactivity with certain things.

Compatibility: Dogs

No small dogs.

Compatibility: Cats

Not cat tested.

Requirements

Frankie needs a dog behaviour knowledgeable person with experience with separation anxiety and reactivity. Frankie will do well in a calm and quiet environment.
