French Bulldog puppies and dogs in Glendale, Colorado

Bruno and sister Ronka are a bonded pair and about 5 years old. Ronka was purchased at 8 weeks from a breeder. Bruno was adopted after spending 3 years in a kennel as a breeder dog. Both have lived with kids. Bruno can be with any dog but Ronka is more choosy- luckily they have each other. Bruno loves lounging on furniture and just wants to lay next to you and cuddle. Both are very loving. They are kind, sweet, loving dogs with no snap. Bruno is a little scared of the outside world so they must have a yard and are dog door trained. These dogs are pretty much perfect and their adopter will realize they’ve found the holy grail of dogs. Fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations and checked by a vet 2/10. Ronka and Bruno are being fostered in Denver, Colorado. ##2310084##

Meet Edna, the most sincere smile in town! Edna was found as a stray, still lactating from the last litter she had. No one ever came looking for her, even though it appeared during her spay that she had had multiple litters in her young life. Edna is unique because she has only one eye (from a previous injury) and is also blind in the eye she has. She is very good for her daily eye cleaning and drops that she gets for dry eye. She also has a cleft lip that she was born with, a broken canine tooth, and a unique smile that captures your heart as soon as you see it. Edna does a “submissive grin” and bares her teeth when she’s excited-- because of her cleft lip, her smile is exaggerated and even more endearing. When she meets new people they need to know about her “smile” so that she doesn’t startle them, and since she’s blind she commonly runs into you with her teeth out. She has never tried to bite or given any indication of aggression towards people that she’s had a good introduction to. She has recovered from the ear and skin infections that she arrived with, loves baths and feeling pretty, but still needs a little work being comfortable having her nails trimmed. Edna is not a purebred Frenchie, but is likely some kind of mini-bully mix. Foster mom just sent in a DNA test so we’ll see what she really is soon. She’s bigger than an average Frenchie (about 35 pounds) and has a full tail! Her tail wags nonstop when she’s excited, and because it’s a stiff bully tail that’s curved down, it makes it nearly impossible for her to sit down all the way for treats. She has some pretty severe elbow dysplasia that bothers her sometimes in the morning, but she is able to get around well and is happy as can be. She is on a joint supplement and omega-3 supplement as well as a calming probiotic. Even though she is blind, she navigates the world without a care. She knows her way around her foster house with no issues. She uses stairs to get outside to the yard, but isn’t quite brave enough to go through the dog door on her own. She will sit at the door and whine when she needs to go out and has never had an accident in the house. She also loves to spend time in her crate. It seems that she lived her entire life in a crate previously, and sometimes the big wide world is overwhelming and she seeks safety in her safe space. She also self-soothes by suckling/chewing on blankets or any other soft item she can get her mouth on. She must be supervised or any soft objects/dog beds/clothing will be destroyed. Loves: playing Bitey-Face with her foster brother, male dogs of all sizes, any and all food, car rides, walks, getting loves from humans after a safe introduction, tearing up cardboard, doing a smiling, happy dance when she gets excited Dislikes: female dogs, new humans entering her home (but she warms up quickly when she feels safe), aggressive or pushy dogs—she will hide and cower in fear when she feels dominated, likely due to being beat up in whatever breeding situation she came from and that caused her to lose her eye Edna has some anxiety from her previous life experiences and has 2 extremes—happy, smiling, wagging Edna who is so excited she can’t control her wiggles, to sad, scared, damaged Edna who came from a really tough situation where she definitely didn’t feel safe and where she experienced unknown trauma that haunts her sometimes still. Most of the time she is just happy and content, and when she has a rough go just needs a little extra love and a safe space to chill where she knows she’s protected. She is her happiest when she gets to play with her foster brothers then sit and chill and get scratches from foster mom. ------ previous notes Ears and skin: great-infection cleared up so it seems those were just neglect issues. I've got her on Wellactin and Hill's Healthy Mobility and she's doing great. Eyes: definitely KCS and the Tacrolimus makes a big difference, but there is no hope of regaining vision and I think she'd be much more comfortable long term having an enucleation. Her eye still gets really dried and goopy overnight, even with artificial tears. Still have final recheck with ophthalmologist later this month for the final word. She's very good about letting me flush the eye and she sits for "drops" Oral: dentist said ideally her broken canine should be removed or root canal. Doesn't seem to bother her currently, but likely to in the future. General: deep dive in her record and call to the shelter/ spay clinic led to finding out she never got the distemper combo. Shelter did rabies, vet did bordetella at spay, but no one ever did DHPP so she actually needs that. She also has terrible elbows and knees. Her patellas give her issues sometimes when she first gets up, but she's a champ at "walking it off" and I haven't seen any skipped steps or limping once she's up and moving. Behavior- if you need to know this yet- she's a mixed bag of chill and a complete stress case. Trazodone+300mg of gabapentin for 2 days is not enough to allow for nail trim. She chews on any fabric she can get- beds, blankets, carpets, clothing.... There are holes in every blanket in my house because she's so quick. It's definitely a soothing behavior for her. She's also a shoe eater and weirdly, bras-she chews the straps and any zippers. She won't play with toys or chew any non-consumable chews. She does love sticks whenever she can get them before I pick up the yard. As far as other behavior, she gets so overstimulated and it's hard for her to snap out of it-- she wags her tail so hard she almost tips over, and gets hypoxic because she forgets to breathe. When it's with another dog, she's totally overbearing and pushy. She's good natured with people, even when she's really excited, but her energy with other dogs is difficult. We've had great success with larger males, but smaller males and any females we've met so far are a hard no. She did also kill one of my dumb chickens that got out (really not her fault, but she was like a panther), so a no for smaller animals. Don't know about cats. She's very hesitant about new people coming into the home, but if they are dog savvy and don't come at her in a dominant way (pet her head from below, don't lean over her) then she's fine and warms up immediately. Non-savvy people are freaked out by her submissive smile and lack of depth perception- it means she WILL bump into you with teeth, but she has never truly tried to bite. If someone comes from above and startles her she'll snap a warning snap then immediately smile and wag and try to get oriented. She's clearly been beat up, either by dogs or humans, and if she gets "reprimanded" by my "fun police" dog when she's being pushy, she immediately puts herself in a corner and cowers. It's heartbreaking. Personally I think she'd benefit from Prozac, at least for a while. She's great in her kennel, and she loves to just hang out in there with the door open. I feed her in there because of my other dogs, and she happily runs right in. She'll also put herself in any other kennel or box that she comes across. Utah Edna was transferred from a shelter after she was picked up as a stray. She is completely blind and has a large, healed wound clefting her entire left side of her face. Despite these challenges, Edna is the happiest dog ever. "Edna is a 2-to-3-year-old, intact female, black and tan French Bulldog who is in need of a loving rescue. She was brought in by Animal Control on 03/07/24 after finding her wondering around in Hooper. Edna is missing one eye completely, and the other seems to have no sight either. We suspect her lost eye and the large scar on her nose are from a long-ago injury. The roof of her mouth is completely intact. Edna's goopy eye and agitated ears hint at possible allergies, but she remains resilient and sweet. Additionally, she may have luxating patellas and gets over heated and tired after a short walk. She definitely has been bred several times. Despite her challenges, Edna is incredibly brave, fearlessly exploring her surroundings even though she cannot see. She walks well on the leash with little guidance and appears to be house trained. She doesn't seem to mind the other dogs or cats when she walks by their kennels. Edna is full of character - she loves butt scritches and to be doted upon. If you go near her face, she will quickly turn her head back and forth to get her bearings. She has her mouth open, but never uses her teeth.
