French Bulldog puppies and dogs in Ione, California

Potter is a special needs pup with hydrocephalus; he needs a family that will keep his head safe and be ok with his developmental delays. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? My name is Potter, Hydrocephalus Superhero. ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY? I’m a little boy. HOW OLD ARE YOU? I was born around January 28, 2023. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I’m a French Bulldog. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? 18lbs WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I am a cute, little guy! I’m white and brindle piebald, whatever piebald means. I have a little arrow marking on my forehead and white frosting on my ears. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I like moist kibble and dog-friendly treats. I’m not too sure about the carrots or apples that my foster mom offers me, but if you gave me some chicken or other tasty dog-friendly food from your plate, I would probably gobble it up! WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? Well, I’m not sure if you know, but I’m kind of a big deal! And all the things that make me different are the same things that make me special. I’m sweet and spunky and living in the moment is my style. I am playful and love to wrestle and chew on my foster brother Tater. I’ve been told I can be kinda demanding; sometimes, I fuss and bark to let you know I want attention, food, or need to go potty. Sometimes, I howl when I’m in my carrier or crate because I want out! But I settle down easily. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: My perfect day starts with a “good morning, Potter” and scratchies from my foster mom. Then I do a big stretch, go potty, and get ready for breakfast. Sometimes, I go back to sleep for a bit afterward. Once I’m up, I’m ready to play, explore, and find something to chew on like my Benebone. I eat lunch and nap. I spend time chilling, playing tug-o-war, maybe have another nap, and more exploring. I take my medication at 7:00 p.m. sharp and start my bedtime routine of chewing a yak stick, and then snuggle and sleep. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? Anything to tug-o-war and my yak stick. If you let me, I will nibble your fingers and toes. Sometimes I wrestle the dog bed and drag it as far as I can! DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? No, but I know my name and I come when being called. I’m not sure about learning more. WHAT SCARES YOU? Sometimes loud noises and sudden overhead movement can be scary. I’m little, so people standing over me make me cower or try to get away. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM? Yes, but because I can’t play rough and need to be safe guarded, it’s best if I am around older kids that understand. DO YOU LIKE CATS? I don’t think I’ve met a cat, so I am not sure. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I LOVE other dogs. They are fun, but being around gentle dogs that are not too big, who won’t knock me over, or squish me, is safer. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Hanging out with my person or forever family doing whatever they’re doing. I’m easy going. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I was born with Hydrocephalus. I have no idea what that is, but like I said, I’m a superhero and I’m gonna live every day to the fullest. Hydro makes me wobble around, unsteady on my feet, and fall over, but it doesn’t slow me down or stop me from having fun! Humans must be careful with me and ensure my head is protected as much as possible. Other than that, I’m great! Did I mention I am kind of a big deal? WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom and my foster brother. I love them both! I really like my foster brother because he lets me chew on him. WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I stay in my very own X-pen with toys and a fluffy bed to lounge on, access to my food and water, and plenty of room to potty if I need to. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? I sleep on my comfy bed in my very own penned area – you know, superhero style. Sometimes, I fall asleep with my foster mom and magically wake up in my bed. I think it must be one of my superpowers. DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? The most important thing for me with walks is that I won’t be going on any walks on the hard pavement. I’ll probably be more of a explore and stumble around on the soft grass kind of guy…. In case I fall over. DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD? Um, I like to bark demands and do mischievous stuff, like tear up my potty pads when bored… I don’t think that is so bad. ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE) No, I go potty on potty pads and sometimes I just go wherever I happen to be. I might be able to be potty-trained, but you’ll have to be very patient with me. DO YOU LIKE WATER? Only to drink and for bathing. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? I love that they protect me, are patient and kind, play with me, and love me. I’m living the dream. WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I was born different, so some nice ladies rescued me and brought me from far away to NorCal. Now, I live in a wonderful foster home and my future is wide open… Did I mention I am kind of a big deal? If you’d like to have a superhero in your life, I am SO ready to love you forever! **Potter's adoption fee is $1,000.00** If you are interested in adopting Potter, please jump on our website and read why about the adoption fees for special breeds BEFORE filling out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org At this time, we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding areas.

I am a French Bulldog. HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I am around 19 pounds of pure cute! WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I am beautiful tan color with a sprinkle of brown on my back and I have the cutest little button nose! WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I like to eat my dry kibble for meals.

I’m a little bundle of fun! DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY? I love hanging out with my people, playing with my toys, and getting lots of attention from anyone and everyone! That sounds just perfect to me! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I like all toys. And I really love my yummy Benebones. They’re tasty! DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I am still a young girl, so I am a work in progress. Learning to be a good girl is tricky… so that’s what we can call my tricks for now. WHAT SCARES YOU? Loud noises scare me. HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? I will pass on children, thank you. I am partial to the grown up humans and would do best in a child-free home. DO YOU LIKE CATS? I have two cats that I share a room with in my foster home. I like them a lot! I’d like to play with them, but they are not really interested in playing with me. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I like other dogs, especially if they will play with me! IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? I would be with my family that loves me, likes to cuddle, lets me sleep in the house and will never let me go. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?

The world is so interesting and I love to explore! DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? Did I mention I’m young? So, yup, I do typical young pup things and need patience and guidance to become my best doggy self. But as I grow up, I will learn what is good and what is not so good. ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? I am potty trained! We have a doggie door in my foster home and I just go outside when I need to potty. Sometimes it is hard to hold my potty overnight, but I am getting better and better! DO YOU LIKE WATER? I am getting used to it. But I am a Frenchie, and we are not built for water activities, so please keep me safe from pools or other large bodies of water. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? My foster family gives me lots of love. I get to play with lots of friends and they are patient with me! WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I’m not really sure what happened before. I know the nice people at NorCal Bully Breed Rescue took me in when no one else wanted me. I am so excited to find a family that will want to love me forever and ever! It’s such a dream for me to feel like I belong and I have a home of my own.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Hello! I’m Sasha! 👋 ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY? I'm a sweet, sassy girl. 💖 HOW OLD ARE YOU? I’m told I am two years old. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I am a French Bulldog. 🐾 HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? 25 pounds WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I have a shiny black coat with a white patch on my chest and the cutest puppy dog eyes you’ve ever seen. My foster parents tell me I’m perfect, and I have to agree with them on that one! 😊 WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I love my kibbles, but I think I love my treats just a little more! Just know, I never turn down any food you give me . . . Or drop on the floor. 🤭 WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I’m a big snuggle bug! I can be a little sassy when I don’t get what I want. When the sass doesn’t work, I pull out my secret weapon… My puppy dog eyes.🥹 That usually does the trick. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: Oh, that’s an easy one… Breakfast, playtime, a mid-morning nap, then I wake up and do it all over again! Squeeze in a walk and some cuddles (obviously) and I’m the happiest pup EVER! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I love ALL the toys!!! I have my favorite stuffed animal, my nylabones, and my squeaky toys. 🧸 DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I know sit, wait, and I have recently learned shake, which is a favorite in my foster home. Treats always help when you want me to do tricks. I’m easily persuaded with food. 😁 WHAT SCARES YOU? Cleaning stuff! I hate when foster mama cleans. The vacuum, mop, leaf blower, spray… I must protect the household from all of it. Either that, or she can just stop cleaning! 🤔 HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM? I don't have any children in my foster home, but I have met one kiddo and he was a pretty neat little fella who I can hang with. DO YOU LIKE CATS? I’m not sure I even know what a cat is!😺 HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I love my doggy foster sister and brother! It may take me some time to warm up to other dogs, but once I do, I love them with my whole heart. ❤️ Just set me up for success with slow introductions, please! IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Anywhere my humans are! HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I am happy and healthy. I snore a lot, but everybody knows that about Frenchies, right? We are world-class snorers! 😬 WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? My foster mommies and doggy foster brother and sister! My foster mamas are my closest companions, but I love my foster brother and sister because we play and cuddle all day long! WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? In my kennel. I will put up a fuss for a bit when left alone, but then I just go to sleep. 💤 WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? In my kennel with my own comfy puppy bed and toys. 🧸 DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I love going on walks and exploring the outdoors! I even know to sit so my foster mom can put the harness on before we go for our walks. I’m such a good girl, right?!? DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD? If I know you’re home, I want to be out and about with you. So if I’m in my kennel, I am pretty vocal with my complaints to management. 😜 And I am protective of what’s mine, especially when it comes to food, treats, and toys. So it is important to supervise playtime if toys are involved. And please give me private space to eat my meals so I can relax and eat peacefully. ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE) My foster home has a doggy door and I know “Go potty outside” means it’s time to go outside to handle my business. I am very good at letting the humans know when I need to potty. ☺️ DO YOU LIKE WATER? I am not a fan of bath time, but I put up with it like a good girl. I’m not built for water activities, though, so I need to be kept safe from pools, please. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? They show me patience and unconditional love and care. My doggy foster brother and sister have been so helpful, teaching me how to be a good dog and how to have fun! WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I don’t really remember much about it, actually. I just know I ended up in the shelter until NorCal Bully Breed Rescue saved me and found a wonderful foster family to help me. And now I am ready for my own loving forever home. Will you please show me what happily ever after looks like and take me home with you? 👑💖 ⭐️Sasha’s ADOPTION FEE IS $1,000⭐️ For information on why our Bulldog fees are set as they are, please click on the following link: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=5004742079644959&id=333019703483910&mibextid=qC1gEa If you are interested in Sasha, please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org At this time we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding areas.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Hi, I’m Peaches! 🍑 ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL? I’m a darling little girl. 🎀 HOW OLD ARE YOU? I am approximately five years old as of the end of 2024. WHAT BREED ARE YOU? I’m a French-fry! Well, they say I am a French Bulldog, but I identify as a potato and the best kind of potatoes are fries. 🍟🥔 HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? I am a tiny little 16 pound nugget. WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE? I am a fawn-coated little lady with a white splash above my nose, satellite ears, the sweetest eyes, and the MOST amazing underbite that shows off my adorable teefs. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? I eat my kibble like the good little girl that I am. But I won’t turn down pretty much anything else that is offered, or that falls on the floor in my vicinity! 🤭 WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE? I am as sweet as a peach. I am goofy and love to dance on my hind legs when I am happy or excited. My preferred position is snuggled up with a human, seconded by snuggling up with a doggy friend. I want to please and am enjoying learning new things. DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY: I wake up and do a biiiiiig stretch before I head outside for potty time. After breakfast, I like to take a quick walk to help with digestion and get some sniffs in. I spend a good portion of the day napping with a human while they work from home or hanging calmly with my dog friends. After dinner, I love to play ball or just run around with the kids in the yard. Then it’s sleepy time after a very fun day! 💤 WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY? I am still figuring that out. I am not overly interested in toys unless someone else is first. But I do like the crinkly toys, and will chase a ball if you make it sound exciting. 🎾 DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS? I learned how to sit very quickly, and I know how to “go to bed” when told to. That is not only a super cute trick, but it is such a good girl thing to do, right?!? I am a skilled ballerina as I dance around on my hind legs! I am learning how to wait patiently at the door to be invited in/out. That’s a tough one, but I am smart and well behaved so I am working hard on it! WHAT SCARES YOU? Being left completely alone is a little scary. I’ve been practicing and, even though I still don’t like it, I am much calmer about it. Other than that, as long as I have a human or a dog friend nearby, I’m not afraid of anything! Oh, and I have to admit that the Frenchie side of me thinks the bottom of an empty food dish is terrifying, but it happens every day and so far I have survived (somehow). HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? Yes! I have been around kids of all ages, and I am good with everyone! DO YOU LIKE CATS? I’m not really interested in cats, except to try to sneak their yummy food! I have never tried to chase the cat in my foster home. My foster mom says that’s a good thing, because it means I’m a good girl, plus the cat is BIGGER than I am! Other than the occasional sniff and lick, we mind our own business. 🐱 HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS? I want to be friends with every dog I see. I am a little sassy to potential new friends when I am on a leash, but I figure out quickly that they are not trying to take all the attention away from me. 🐶 IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Snuggled up with a human, snoring! Either in the sun or under a blanket, dealer’s choice there. HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? I am a healthy girl. 😁 WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION? I live with my foster mom and her three boys, ranging in age from eight to 14 years, plus two doggy friends, a cat, a tortoise, and six chickens. I am really into my foster mom and we hang out since she works from home. I like when the boys play video games or read books so I can cuddle with them. WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE? I hang out in my crate. It’s a safe place and I have learned to really like it. The resident dogs have crates right next to mine so I am not alone. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP? At bed time I sleep in my crate. During the day, I sleep on the couch, on the chair, in the sun, on the other dogs… I really excel at naps. 😴 DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH? I do! I only have about a mile in me before I am spent, but the outside world is exciting. 🦮 DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? Well, I personally wouldn’t call it a “bad habit” so much as a super power! I am really small and like to take advantage of my small stature to squeeze into places that I shouldn’t be, or out of places that I SHOULD be! The humans have figured me out, though, and they protect me from my adventures.🤨 ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)? I am a work in progress with potty training. I will use potty pads in my pen. I need patience and structure to help me learn to potty outside, and I hope you will give me the guidance I need to learn what to do at your house. DO YOU LIKE WATER? I like to hydrate. I am a water drinking champion. But do I like getting wet? What do they say about gremlins? That’s what my foster mom says about me. I have had a few baths…they were awful. 0/10 don’t recommend. The treats and towel dry after the baths *almost* make them worth it. 🛁 WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY? They are really kind to me. Even when I make a mistake, they remind me I am a good girl and we try again. I am super motivated by praise and treats. WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE? I don’t remember much about it, really. All I know is that an amazing Good Samaritan found me running down the street. I wasn’t feeling well, and they helped nurse me back to health. Then NorCal Bully Breed Rescue took me into their care to help me find the perfect family that will love me forever. Will you take me home with you? 💖 **PEACHES’ ADOPTION FEE IS $1,000** If you are interested in PEACHES please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org At this time we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding For more information on what that means and why that is, please click on the following link: https://www.facebook.com/333019703483910/posts/3264412130344638/?extid=0&d=n Thank you so much in advance for understanding!!!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sacramento- *special needs* Zooey is a floppy eared Frenchie who came from a backyard breeder. When she became unable to walk because of IVDD, they did nothing. This has left her with two useless back legs and is incontinent. She is super cute with her floppy ears (she looks like a mini English because of them). She gets around on her own with her front legs and will use her back legs to stand up when outside. She will need to wear diapers forever, but it is way easier than you would think. She came to us with poor skin, open wounds, and missing a lot of hair, but now she is looking great and ready for a home. She was super extra with other dogs when she first came and now lives with a gang of them but she is possessive of her crate and her food. She is good with kids (no idea about cats but she is slower than any so it wouldn't matter anyway).   She will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and ready for a life of love.   You can find out more about our available dogs and appt online at: http://recycledpetsnorcal.org/adoptpet/   Adoption fee: $500 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 22, 2024, 12:24 am

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*SPECIAL NEEDS* Meet Croquette, affectionately known as K, a French Bulldog puppy who is not only adorable but truly special in every way. Despite facing some significant challenges, K embodies the spirit of resilience and boundless joy. This delightful pup shares all the typical traits of a French Bulldog puppy – she loves to play, indulge in chewy hooves, enjoy her meals, and bask in the warmth of snuggles. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she'll dance with excitement, hoping you'll scoop her up for some extra love. K, however, is a very special girl, born with severe defects, including Spina Bifida with an open defect and leg differences, as well as hydrocephalus (or missing parts of her brain). These conditions mean that her back legs didn't form correctly, and she'll require diapers throughout her life. Her balance is a work in progress, and she may experiences occasional seizures (no meds required as none have helped). While K's special care demands around 45 minutes a day, she firmly believes she deserves attention at all times. She is on the lookout for a family that can provide constant companionship. Foster mom works but luckily someone stops in to care for K during the day.  K will eat hard food but doesn't have the drive for water, so she is fed mush (often by the spoon) to make sure she gets hydrated.  Handling her bathroom needs involves gentle expressions, a routine that K takes in stride. This may seem like a lot, but the reward is immeasurable – the sheer happiness and joy that K brings to every moment. In terms of life expectancy, K's story aligns with another dog adopted out six years ago with similar conditions, who is still thriving today. While the duration of any dog's life is uncertain, what truly matters is the love and cherishment they receive during their time. For those willing to embrace the uniqueness of caring for a special needs pup and provide a loving home, the adoption fee is waived for the right match.
