So, you want to adopt an ADORABULL Frenchie (see what we did there ) Although SUPER cute and so yummy & silly, most of our dogs have come from yucky backyard greeders and so, will 100% need to have owners committed to their unique long-term care, health, and wellbeing. Here are just a couple of things that we need to ensure every French Bulldog adopter understands and is comfortable with. All Frenchies MUST HAVE A FULL-SERVICE vet and at MINIMUM an ANNUAL vet appointment. Big-box store vets or mobile/discount shot services are just not going to cut it. Here's the BIG ONE: thanks to their breeding, ALL Frenchie parents have to be ready to manage and IMMEDIATELY treat an episode of IVDD:IVDD 411 All Frenchie parents must be willing to make the time for daily maintenance and grooming: our Frenchies love their spa time and need (at minimum) all of those folds and crevices cleaned that make them so dang cute. It's a sign of your commitment and care. Bulldog adopters have to be willing to administer eye drops; all those folds make for grumpy eyelids. Last but not least, all lucky bulldog parents should expect to manage the ongoing cost of all the goodies associated with loving a bulldog: including but not limited to: high-quality food, eye drops, medicated shampoo, monthly heartworm prevention, fun toys, vet care, and endless scritches and cuddles (This last one is free) PHEW - that's a list, but these guys are so worth it. Your commitment will be rewarded with the love and joy these Frenchies bring into your life. Once you go Bulldog, there's no going back to 'regular' dogs If you're IN, please read on about this gorgeous pup! Logan is the super-handsome superhero everyone has been waiting for, and he may be too good to be true. Let's just list his perks: He's perfectly potty trained He's a total lover and will happily keep your sofa warm while you're away. He's so, so, so smart and picks things up quickly Just a little more for this boy: Thanks to his unknown past, Logan is quite timid, so ideally, he will have a low-traffic home with no young kiddos. And, he'd definately prefer to live in a house with a yard to call his own.He doesn't want to go places or see exciting new things.Logan wants to chill at home with his pod, and he really 100% does not NEED to have another dog, and we think he'd be happiest without one TBH. He was never a leash-walker in his past life, so his furever family must be willing to continue the good work that his foster family started and be patient and kind while he gets comfortable with his harness and leash. And, last, but not least, while he is a total lover, this little guy says NO THANK YOU to being picked up, so anyone with dreams of a carry-him-everywhere frenchie need not apply To see more of our dogs, please go to https://austinbulldogrescue.com to see who is available and to learn how to get involved with ABR.
