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: $700.00

Gemma

Gemma is a pretty, brindle, 4 year old girl that was owner surrendered to rescue. She was reported to be a dog that forms strong bonds with some people but is fearful of others. Gemma is in foster care with a trainer and has had a lot of exposure to other dogs, social situations and people of various ages. Her foster dad describes her as sweet, friendly and energetic. She has been good with all people and dogs she has met, though tends to ignore rather than socialize with other dogs. She can be protective of her crate.

Available for Adoption

Charlotte

Placement Assist. - Adoption fee tbd.

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!

Permanent Foster

Winnie

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.
