FRENCH BULLDOG RESCUE & REHOME
As the popularity of French Bulldogs increases in Canada, so too does the number of French Bulldogs in need. If you know of a french bulldog or frenchie mix that requires help, or if you would like our assistance in rehoming your own dog, contact information is listed below.
We are always in need of foster homes, transporters, people to do home checks, fund raise or donate to help cover the costs of veterinary and other care expenses. 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
LUCY is a happy, healthy, energetic, playful, friendly, 2 year old frenchie mix. Lucy came to us as a shelter transfer after being surrendered due to incompatibility issues with another family dog. Lucy loves all people but she is not a fan of other dogs and likes to chase small animals. She is currently in a pet free foster home and is doing great!. Her foster family describe her as a real sweetheart and a very good girl! They say she is the happiest dog ever and her tail(which is quite long) is always wagging with delight.. Lucy has been assessed by a positive method trainer and would benefit from ongoing training to work on leash skills and reactivity towards other dogs on walks. She is food motivated and wants to please, so with work and commitment, improvement can be expected. A home with a securely fenced yard is ideal so she can freely romp around, get her exercise and play fetch(which she loves).

Additional medical, surgical or alternative therapies or procedures may be beneficial..
Donations to help Zookie get the care and therapy she needs would be greatly appreciated.

winnie
Permanent foster
Winnie has been with us for a long time. She has a very challenging personality that requires routine, knowledge and management. Although she has had a number of applications, none have been the fit she needs.
With Winnie’s best interests at heart, she is now designated as permanent foster and applications will no longer be accepted. She will permanently remain in the care of her amazing foster family where she is happy and all her needs are being met.
Congratulations Winnie, you are home.

Fostering can be a rewarding experience and it is the heart and soul of our rescue efforts. Without our foster families we could not do this work. If you can help in this area, a foster application is available by clicking the button below. * Please Note * Foster homes must be matched to the dog in need therefore a questionnaire, reference and home check will be required prior to placing a dog in your care.

For your information
Please review the information provided on each dog and if you think he/she would be a good match for your family and lifestyle, an adoption application button can be found below each dog. Applications will be reviewed and those most suitable will be contacted. Do not apply for a dog that is clearly not recommended for your situation (e.g. if noted as no small children and you have small children, even if you feel your children are good with dogs) We must be firm on our assessment requirements to maximize the chance of a successful and long term placement.
We do not do same day adoptions and we do not ship dogs. Reference and home checks are required prior to adoption finalization. Applicants selected as potential adoptive families (including any other family dogs) must initially visit the rescue dog to assess compatibility. Adoptive families are asked to provide regular updates following adoption. Additional protocol information can be found in the Adoption Contract & Home Checklist above.
