My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Bones – A One-of-a-Kind Pup with a Heart Full of Love

Breed: French Bulldog/Boston Terrier Mix
DOB: ~January 22, 2020 | Weight: 26 lbs
Adoption Fee: $300
Apply at: www.adoggie4you.org

Bones is a survivor—and a sweetheart. Rescued from a parking lot, emaciated and post-surgery, this little warrior was diagnosed with megaesophagus, a condition that makes eating and drinking a unique challenge. But with a custom-built Bailey chair, a strict feeding schedule (ProPlan Chicken & Rice + water only), and lots of love, Bones has defied the odds and thrived.

He’s playful, incredibly affectionate, and bonds deeply with his people. Bones truly just wants to love and be loved.

But Bones isn’t for everyone—he needs a very special home:

  • Must be fed three times daily while upright in his chair (it’s how he “drinks” water too).

  • No treats, snacks, or food on the floor—he will find and swallow them, risking his life.

  • No small children (due to food/toy hazards).

  • Supervision outdoors is a must—he's got a nose for trouble and a stomach that can’t handle it.

  • Muzzle walks only to prevent accidental ingestion.

While caring for Bones takes commitment, his capacity for love makes every extra effort worthwhile. He gets along great with other dogs (with all food removed) and thrives in a structured, watchful environment.

If you have a calm home, a big heart, and the dedication to care for a special needs dog, Bones will repay you with unconditional love.

Bones is not available for out of Texas adoption.

Additional adoption info

Adoption application is required. Applications are checked by contacting references and veterinarians of those with pets to ensure our pups go to the best homes possible. A picture of your home or yard may be requested

All dogs and puppies are fully vetted prior to adoption (spay/neuter, rabies, 3 DHPP, bordetella and heartworm test/treat if positive) and are micro-chipped.
Our fees start at $200, transport out of Texas is arranged by us and is generally an additional $200.
We work hard to place dogs into the right families, but sometimes we realize the fit isn't quite working out for the adopter or the pet. Our contract requires if an adoption does not work out the dog is to be returned to us. We need at least two weeks notice.
