Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption Fee: $600 Meet Shortz, the ultimate couch potato with a heart of gold! This 6 year old French Bulldog/American Staffordshire mix weighs in at a sturdy 42lbs of pure chill. His daily routine is as low-maintenance as he is—wake up, eat, sunbathe, repeat. Shortz loves lounging in the backyard, soaking up the rays, and catching up on his beauty sleep (which comes with the cutest piggy snores you've ever heard). He’s working hard on his potty training, and while he may need a little leash encouragement to get moving, once he’s up, he’s all about his business. Whether it's breakfast at dawn or dinner at dusk, Shortz is a polite little gentleman, patiently waiting for the 'OK' before diving into his meal.   Despite his laid-back nature, Shortz has a social side too! He’s been a total sweetheart since day one—greeting his new family (including their 9-year-old daughter) with his signature mellow vibes and lovable personality. He’s great with other dogs, happily pulling on the leash to say hello in the friendliest way possible. School drop-offs? No problem! Crowds? Bring ‘em on! He’s calm, cool, and collected. Even the household parrot flying over his head didn’t faze him—just another day in the life of Shortzy, the coolest dog around. He’s a total lovebug who enjoys the occasional game of fetch but prefers to spend his time cuddled up in his favorite spot with his humans.   If you’re looking for a super chill, low-maintenance, no-drama best friend, Shortz is your guy. He’s a snuggle enthusiast, a light chewer (only on his toys, promise!), and the perfect companion for binge-watching your favorite shows. He may take his time on walks, but his heart moves at full speed when it comes to loving his people. Could your couch be the one he's been dreaming of? Adopt Shortz and find out!   Shortz is an option for a home with a lot or a little experience. He is a great temperament for less experienced and the perfect speed for someone who wants a calm dog. He is an option for kids over the age of 5.January 26, 2025, 6:27 am

Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption fee: $1000 Roly-Poly is a 3-4 year old French Bulldog who we rescued from the shelter. He's a round and chunky fellow (hence the name!) weighing in at about 26 lbs. When our volunteer went to the shelter, Roly put his paws up on the bars of his kennel and begged, 'please take me!' How could we say no to that face?! Roly's foster says: He is the most gentle, loving dog we have ever met. The first day he stayed in the crate for an hour or so then slowly came out. He very quickly accepted cuddles but seemed a little nervous and a little scared of quick movements close to him and would tend to look scared and back away. Within a couple of days he got used to the noise of the home and could sleep through violin practice and the roomba and just general kids noise around him. He loves to be cuddled and will walk into any lap that is available and will not move away. He likes to be in the middle of everything. After a few days, he offered his trust to his and gave us his belly for rubs.   Roly wakes up in the morning around 6:30 am on weekdays and 7:30am on the weekend and quickly likes to get his business done. He's about 95% potty trained but dislikes going out on cold mornings! He generally prefers to eat lunch and dinner when the family eats. He loves going for walks when the sun is out a few times a day and sunning himself. He mostly likes to hang in the home office and nap or in the family room for his naps but prefers to be wherever there are the most people around. At night he sleeps in our room on the floor on his doggy bed. He sleeps great through the night. He loves to go on walks (20ish minutes) a few times a day. He is very comfortable with the leash and only pulls a bit when he sees another dog he wants to play with. He does tend to bark very little also at this time. Roly gets along with most dogs of his size range, but some might find his typical Frenchie play-style a bit too much. He has played with the foster's neighbor's dog and they get along really well!  Roly-Poly is an option for a home with prior dog experience that has owned a Frenchie or has done their research on the breed and understands their needs. He is an option for kids 5+.January 28, 2025, 6:53 pm

If you’ve ever looked at a perfectly golden, buttery baked potato and thought, Wow, that looks like the perfect comfort food, then get ready to meet the dog version! Baked Potato is a 1 year old, 30-pound French Bulldog with a highly sought-after blue and tan coat, making her the caviar of couch potatoes. She was rescued from the shelter and has been living the good life in her foster home, where she’s quickly become the household MVP (Most Valuable Potato). The Perfect Mix of Playful & Lazy Baked Potato isn’t just a pretty face—she’s the ultimate combo of energy and chill. Need a buddy for a game of fetch? She’s on it! Looking for a Netflix-and-snuggle partner? She’s already on the couch waiting for you. She wakes up around 7 AM, does her morning business, and then enjoys breakfast before hanging out with her humans. If you work from home, she’ll keep you company (usually by napping in a sunbeam), and if you go to the office, she’ll patiently wait in her crate without complaint—though she will reward herself with an epic snore-fest. A Social Butterfly (Who Sometimes Thinks She’s a Cat) From the moment her foster picked her up, Baked Potato’s loving, affectionate personality has shined through. She follows her people from room to room like a shadow (or a very determined potato) and never turns down an opportunity for belly rubs. She’s gentle with kids, friendly with new people, and while she hasn’t lived with dogs or cats, she’s shown nothing but good manners when meeting new friends. Polite, Well-Mannered, and… Secretly Hilarious Baked Potato is fully house-trained and crate-trained (bonus points!), and she’s even mastered the doggy door like a pro. She doesn’t bark much—except for a soft, polite ahem if she wants attention. However, she does have one quirky little habit: she likes to bury her treats in the yard for a “rainy day” snack. If you see her intensely digging a hole, she’s not causing trouble—she’s just a tiny treasure hunter. Who’s the Ideal Human for This Spud? Baked Potato is looking for a forever family who will appreciate her snuggles, love her playful energy, and embrace her occasional snoring. She’d do great in a home with kids, active owners who enjoy walks, or anyone who loves a good cuddle buddy. Whether you have a busy schedule or lots of free time, Baked Potato adapts like a champ—she’s just happy to be loved. If you’re ready to bring home the most affectionate, hilarious, and well-behaved little Frenchie around, Baked Potato is waiting to melt your heart! BP is an option for a home that has had a dog previously and has a basic understanding of French Bulldogs. If there are children they need to be over the age of 5.February 1, 2025, 10:07 am

Story
Linus is part of Charlie Brown Litter. Holly mom is French Bull Dog /Boston Terrier mix. 2/16/24 DNA test results: Dad was a Cattle Dog 40% and 9% Border Collie. They should be medium size adults and smart. Holly was abandoned at a distant shelter and was very pregnant. Linus' DOB: 12/1/23. Once we rescued Holly and she arrived at her foster home within 2 hours she went into labor and gave birth to 5 puppies. 2 girls and 3 boys. Whew! Just in time. All the pups and mom did great at their foster home. Home raised healthy lovable and social. The 5 pups are now learning at their next foster home for puppy training. All are playful snuggly and lovable. We do not know what they are mixed with. They seem larger than Frenchie pups and have tails. We will start to review applications Jan 20th. Puppies will be 8 weeks old on Jan. 27th and will get their first vaccinations and deworm. Need home with attached backyard. More info. to come on each puppy's personality. 1/24/24 Update: The 3 boys are fairly similar all playful and slower than the girls. Linus and Snoopy are a little more timid but get more playful when riled up by Brody. All love attention and to be held. They all did very well getting their first shots and these puppies are extremely smart and well behaved for such young puppies. They are learning sit and not to bite and are all doing very very well. They will make wonderful family pets for someone. Their temperament is fantastic gentle playful and sweet. 2/9/24 Update 10 weeks old: Patty is definitely the smallest with smallest paws. Snoopy and Linus are about the same size 12 pounds and Patty is 10 lbs.. I think they will be medium sized dogs. Snoopy and Linus are slower and calmer. Patty is spunky and more independent and curious and a little more Frenchie personality . All learning crate training. Few accidents on pee pads now. They will hold to go out to backyard for potty biz. 3/15/24 Need foster home for one on one puppy training and socials.November 4, 2024, 2:12 pm

Story
Benny is the remaining puppy of our dogs Lovey and Sonic. He has alopecia but somehow symmetrically has fur in some areas. He has his back molars and two baby fangs, other than that toothless. If you put your face on his left side his tongue will miss you because it sticks out on the right side. He is the sweetest, obedient, goofiest boy. Unfortunately, we have one too many dogs and he needs to be rehomed. He just turned 1 November 12. He will do great with anyone/family who loves to cuddle, play, go on walks, and play in water, and loooooves to run, very agile too. He does not mind being dressed up in pajamas and sweaters/jackets. He is housebroken and crate trained. A quick learner and even quicker to please. He knows several commands such as sit, down, stay, up (when you touch your chest to come into your arms), bang bang (play dead), crawl, shake, eat and more. He also loves sleeping with a blanket, sometimes used as a pacifier, literally. Willing to travel to you.

Story
Sandwich is a sweet boy. A 10-year-old bulldog, he's low energy around the house, and loves cuddles and couch time. He has many features that bulldogs are known for: dry nose, slobbery cheeks, and snoring, but that's all part of the charm. He takes regular medication to address a muscular condition in his jaw that he developed as a pup, and due to his age, he prefers short walks and minimal play time. Sandwich would be very comfortable in a chill household with someone that just wants a chunky cuddle buddy, and doesn't mind a dog that needs a little extra TLC.
