My story

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

Meet Nessie!

Breed: French Bulldog
Age: 3-years-old
Gender: Female
Weight: 27 lbs

This 3-year-old, 27-pound French Bulldog is incredibly cuddly and resilient. Nessie was rescued from an overcrowded shelter where she needed urgent medical care due to painful masses in her ears. In our care, we explored all options to avoid surgery, but it eventually became clear that surgery was necessary for her to have a pain-free life. She will likely be completely deaf after the procedure, but that won’t prevent her from living a joyful, healthy, and loving life. Despite her hardships, Nessie’s spirit remains bright. She loves people, thrives on affection, and has quickly won over all of our staff. She’s a cuddly companion who simply wants to stay close and receive all the love she deserves. She’s best suited to a home prepared to help her adjust after surgery, and in return, she’ll give endless love and loyalty. If you want a brave, affectionate dog with a big heart, Nessie could be the perfect match for you.

More about this shelter

Wags and Walks is a community of dog lovers working to promote shelter dogs as the best dogs in the world through advocacy of our unique family-friendly foster and adoption programs.

Wags and Walks is focused on advocating for wrongfully stereotyped bully breeds, medical dogs, and mamas + puppies that are often overlooked and at-risk due to overcrowding. We do not select dogs based on their size, age, or breed. We select our dogs on a case-by-case basis, factoring in our ability to help and their likelihood of thriving when placed in the right home.

We know that, like amazing dogs, loving families come in all shapes and sizes. Our goal is to find every pup an adopter whose home, family, and lifestyle are a perfect fit for a lifetime of love and happiness.
