Story
Whelp- give a pup a few days to settle- fresh from the shelter, little girl was all calm, gentle, and sweet, and now, she is all delicious and delightful FRENCHIE! | She'll parkor, she's got sass, she will counter surf and door dart, and we are here for all of it. Her adjectives are: ? Adventurous ? Active ? Athletic It is such a joy to see pups feel safe enough to be themselves! And despite her entertaining Frenchie antics, Taffy is actually a naturally mellow girl. She loves her toy vegetables, enjoys hanging out with her people, and is perfectly content entertaining herself indoors. She is incredibly sweet, welcoming, and affectionate with everyone she meets. In fact, her fosters say, "She is one of the easiest fosters we have ever had." On the flip side, Taffy is a total cuddle bug, LOVES her humans, and is perfectly potty-trained. While she adores both of her foster parents, her foster dad definitely holds the title of favorite human. She knows she's the queen of the castle, and honestly, we agree. We think children 10+ will be the best fit for her, and we know she'll thrive in a home where she can be the one and only pup, soaking up all the love, attention, and spoiling she deserves. ? Her forever family is going to have so much fun loving her! French Bulldogs are not low-maintenance dogs They require patience with training, and daily mental and physical engagement, especially when they're young. They are playful, opinionated, and full of energy, not couch ornaments. Frenchies thrive in homes that understand the breed and are ready for the commitment. Additionally, 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 Lovely girl is heartworm-positive, so she must stay close to our vets for her treatment. Don't worry; heartworm infection is way LESS scary than it sounds, and our team will cover the cost of and provide all guidance for her care.
