My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO

Mugsy is a fun, playful little guy! Mugsy is a 2 year old, 28 lb French Bulldog.
Mugsy loves to play with people, other dogs and his toys. He is a goofy, medium to high energy guy who loves to be around his people, other dogs, and go for walks. He is house trained, as long as he is let out often enough. He also rides well in the car.
Mugsy loves to sunbathe, so someone with a backyard or patio would be great.

He does have behavior issues, so needs someone not only experienced with Bulldogs, but also with behaviorally challenged dogs. He is in training, and will require continued training and work on the adopter's end.
Mugsy is VERY in tune with the energy of a person. He needs to be in a calm, easy going home. If people are anxious and highly stressed around him, his behavior reflects that and gets worse. When the household is calm, so is he. He also needs a quiet home, with not too many people coming in and out, and no kids.

Mugsy will bond strongly to one person in the household, and can become possessive of that person towards anyone else in the home if he doesn't have the proper structure and boundaries. We will give you tips to prevent this from happening, and what to do when it does happen, and they should be strictly followed.
He also has possession of furniture, so he is not allowed on furniture.

Mugsy loves sleeping in his crate when the door is left open, but has barrier aggression, and lunge when closing his crate door if you close it

He loves other dogs and loves to play, so while a home with another dog isn't necessary, he'd prefer a home with another playful dog. He gets very attached to his person and has some separation anxiety, so if he is the only dog in the home, he should be with someone whose home often and can give him a lot of attention.

Mugsy also has skin allergies (typical of the breed) which need to be managed.

He is a fun, happy guy 95% of the time. He needs someone who is willing to put in the work with his training, and be patient when his behavior episodes occur. He will be a great fit with the right person! He loves to cuddle and just spend time with you.

Because he needs an experienced adopter, we want to be sure whoever applies for him has read this entire bio. Please write "read full bio" in the subject of your email or next to his name in the adoption application. His adoption fee will be higher than our usual adoption fee.
We will be accepting applications and choosing the best suited applicant for him.
