Story
Meet Kingston Oliver Outside Extraordinaire!
Kingston Oliver is a 2 ½-year-old English Bulldog who joined the Freedom Frenchie Rescue family from a shelter in Southern California. He wasn’t originally on our intake list, as it can be difficult to find homes for bulldogs, but the moment we saw him, we knew we couldn’t leave him behind. He had a prolapsed urethra, and after careful consideration, our vet decided that neutering him would be the best course of action. Thankfully, his body healed on its own, and he has recovered beautifully. Now, he is thriving in his foster home, where he is getting all the love and attention he deserves.
Goofy Personality:
Kingston is a perfect mix of laid-back and playful. He is incredibly sweet and affectionate, always looking for cuddles and attention, but he also has bursts of silly, clumsy energy that make him a joy to be around. This guy absolutely loves being outside, which makes us believe he likely spent a lot of time outdoors before rescue. Now, he enjoys every second of fresh air, whether he’s running around, playing with his toys, or simply lounging in the sun. Kingston has a special fondness for stuffed toys and squeaky balls, often carrying them around while he explores.
Training Aspects:
If there’s one thing Kingston loves almost as much as being outside, it’s food. He is a total foodie and gets very focused whenever there’s food around. He isn’t food aggressive, but he does tend to forget his manners in his excitement, which is why he is crated during mealtimes or whenever food is out. Teaching him to wait with patience for his meal will have to continue in his forever home. His foster family is working on reinforcing his training, but like many bulldogs, he can be a bit stubborn, so it’s a slow process. Despite this, he is making great progress. Kingston is mostly potty trained and does well at making it outside, though he has had occasional overnight accidents in his crate. He is very vocal, we do think the pee accidents in the crate really have a lot to do with his medical condition, and progress is being made as he is healing and will have to continue with his new family.
Foster Pupdate:
Kingston hasn’t shown any dislikes and is overall an easygoing dog. He is full of energy but also has that classic bulldog clumsiness, barreling through life with enthusiasm. He can be a bit of a “bull in a china shop,” (like most bulldogs in rescue) but his affectionate nature makes up for it. He absolutely loves people and wants nothing more than to be showered with love. One of his most endearing habits is his way of almost hugging you when he wants his face scratched, often falling asleep right in your arms.
This lovable goofball deserves a family that will continue helping him learn what it means to be a cherished pet. He would do well in a home that understands bulldog quirks and is committed to his training. While he could potentially live with another dog, slow introductions ( 333 Rule) would be necessary to ensure a good fit. Above all, Kingston needs someone who will spoil him with love, patience, and plenty of outdoor time. Are you the adventurous type or just the outside person Kingston needs? He has already come so far, and with the right home, he will continue to thrive. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and wonderfully goofy companion, Kingston Oliver might just be the perfect match for you.
