Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Gremlin!
Gremlin was found as a stray and transferred to Broken Tail Rescue. She was a bag of bone, had skin issues, missing and broken teeth, and poor nares and breathing. She has indicators of being bred and an outside dog. Gremlin is 50/50 French and English Bulldog. She is about 30 pounds and the size of a Frenchie.
Since being in her foster home we have helped her gain weight slowly, had dental needs met, cared for her nares, and learned a lot about her needs and personality. Gremlin is missing most of her K9 teeth and should have a mix of soft and hard foods. She needs daily grooming care, especially with her nose folds, private areas, and nose. Her eyes and paws need daily wiping, her nose needs daily cream, and her bum and girly parts need wiping after each potty. Her feet should be wiped before entering the home after her potty walks.
Gremlin is a high-maintenance girl but her adorable face, happy dance, and her desire to be attached at your hip make her more than worth it!
She can be 100% potty trained unless you are not a person who keeps a consistent schedule or have pet urine in your home that was not cleaned properly with enzyme-specific dog urine cleaner or if previous dogs have urinated in your home and it has seeped into old hardwood floors. If this is the case with you, Gremlin is not your kind of dog! She needs a consistent schedule with two daily walks and a pee break around noon. While having been boarded with a positive trainer Gremlin did amazing with no potty accidents after getting on their schedule. But, her foster home does have an old hardwood floor with settling-causing spaces in between boards and an area where Gremlin just HAS TO pee over no matter her schedule. Despite the floor being re-finished. She was able to go from 9 am to 4 pm outside the crate with free access to water, a noon break outside and no accidents while in her boarding home. She has it in her to be fully potty trained without issue in the RIGHT home.
To help her be successful with potty training in her pee-ruined floors at her foster home, she is crated when no humans are to watch her and overnight. Gremlin does great in her crate and has learned “go to your room” means snack in her crate. She will sleep through the night in the crate but wants to go home to a family where she will be allowed to sleep with her humans. She is a shadow dog after all! If she does have to be crated overnight plan for a 4-5am Gremlin alarm clock!
Gremlin loves to play with her Frenchie foster brother and at times does engage in play with her 100-pound American Bulldog foster brother. She will hog her humans though. She could be lying next to you enjoying a nap and if her fosters come up to the humans she runs right over pushing them aside! She wants all the attention! She does snuggle and cuddle with her Frenchie brother and snuggles in foster Dad’s lap with her brother too. We believe she would do great in a home with another brachial breed and possibly other sizes or breeds of dogs.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
