Gemma

Apply to Adopt

Gemma is a pretty, brindle, 5 year old girl that was owner surrendered to rescue. She was reported to be a dog that forms strong bonds with her family but can be aloof and sometimes uncomfortable with others and needs to be make friends at her own speed. She is very smart and knows many tricks. She loves car rides and cuddles with her people. She can become overexcited in busy social situations but if crated during the initial heightened arrival activity, she does well once things are settled and calm. Gemma is in foster care with a family that has no other dogs and she enjoys that very much. She has had exposure to other dogs, social situations and people of various ages when with a trainer foster and did quite well, but in the company of her own ‘family’ she may show protective and possessive behaviours especially towards other dogs. Training is ongoing in her foster family and she is doing great. Overall she is a loving, sweet, energetic girl that needs a dog experienced owner and good leadership so she does not feel the need to manage her environment. She has her little quirks and personality as does every frenchie, but in the right family she is a perfect GEM!

Nova

Apply to Adopt

Nova is a cute, tiny 3 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.

Charlotte

Apply to Adopt

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!

Dolce

Apply to Adopt

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

Apply to Adopt

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.

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.

He experiences seasonal allergies which are being managed with vet prescribed medication.

He will need an owner who is dog experienced, comfortable managing his behaviours, and patient while he becomes comfortable.

Maurice

Apply to Foster

Permanent Foster home needed.

Maurice is a sweet, good natured 13 year old boy that is looking for a loving home and family where he can peacefully live out his golden years. He is good with all people and other pets, but given his age, a quiet home with calm, mature dogs is best. He struggles with stairs so a bungalow is ideal. He is a big boy (~35 lbs) and carrying him up and downstairs would be a bit of a workout 😊. He is crate trained and dry overnight but he does not have the same degree of bladder control as a younger dog and needs to be taken out more frequently. Sometimes Maurice doesn't quite make it to the door when he feels the urge so belly bands may be helpful.

Maurice is deaf and getting his attention requires touch or a visual connection. We were told that slapping ones thigh means come to him. He will vocalize by whining or barking to draw human attention if he wants something. Given his advanced age and the anaesthetic risks for this breed, we do not want to put Maurice through any unnecessary surgeries (he is not neutered). We are looking for a forever foster home. Maurice will not be placed in a home with any other intact dogs. Permanent fosters love and care for their charges as if they were their own but we will manage approved veterinary expenses and must be consulted re care decisions or lifestyle changes. Forever fosters remain under our name and on our site.

If you believe you can offer this lovely old boy the retirement home he so deserves, please complete our foster app.

Hunter

Hunter is a high energy spunky little 7 month old Frenchie/corgi mix. He loves to play but also loves to cuddle. He has a ton of personality!

Hunter is currently in a home with another dog, cat and kids and enjoys the company of them all. He would do great in a home with other animals and kids. Though Hunter is not a big fan of his crate, he is crated when his current fosters are at work. At night he sleeps comfortably on his bed in the bedroom. Hunter is a well behaved dog and knows basic commands. He has the occasional housetraining accident but is getting better and learning from the other dog in the house that dogs go potty outside! Hunter will need to be neutered and have his cherry eyes corrected before he is ready for adoption.

Rupert

Welcome RUPERT to FBFCR. One year old Rupert is a sociable, playful, well behaved and affectionate boy. He enjoys the company of people, other dogs, car rides, and cuddles. He can be a bit rambunctious in play and has a mind of his own, as might be expected in a young frenchie boy!

Rupert came to us with an unresolved history of GI concerns which we are currently investigating. He also appears to have allergies. We have started him on an allergy control diet. He will need some other routine vetting done as well before he will be ready for adoption. Donation information can be found above if you would like to help us with Rupert’s care.

Rupert is not yet available for adoption
