Story
We purchased two French Bulldogs (Bleu & Violet) in December 2023, both born in October 2023. Violet (“Vi”) is a very affectionate female. She gets especially excited when new people visit and will jump up and down until she receives attention and pets. She simply loves being around people, as most dogs do. We are hoping to find an adopter willing to keep them together as a pair, since they have been together since birth and are very bonded. Now that my wife and I are both retired, we would like the opportunity to travel more, which has become difficult with pets to care for. Because of this, we are looking for a loving and responsible home for our Frenchies. We would strongly encourage any potential adopter to research the breed beforehand, as French Bulldogs can be quite unique. They can be stubborn, difficult to train at times, and definitely have minds of their own. Their “zoomies” can occasionally get a little out of control, but they are incredibly entertaining, loving, and full

Story
He is 12 years old. I brought him from elderly who passed for short term staying in my house but he’s been with us for more than 2 years. He loves to be petted but our family is just so busy and not spending enough time with him. He needs someone who can give him all attention. He is healthy. Not taking any meds.

Story
We are looking to rehome our sweet boy Loki, he is about 7 years old. He is neutered and up to date on shots. We took him in from a neglected situation. Recently he went to live on a farm with a large family and small animals (chickens, ducks, bunnies, etc). He did amazing with the family and guarding the property and scared off bears and kept critters away. However, he did not do well with the smaller animals. He will need to be an only dog, no exceptions. He does not have any history of escaping. He would do amazing as a companion and property guard dog. He is house trained but lives and prefers being outdoors. We are located near Sacramento, CA but willing to drive a bit for the right home. He is a sweetheart with his own mind. Please reach out with questions.

Story
We purchased Bleu, our French Bulldog, in December 2023. He was born in October 2023.Bleu is an affectionate, gentle, and playful male who loves being around people. In December 2025, he was diagnosed with IVDD after an energetic case of the "zoomies" while playing with his sister, who has since been adopted. He underwent a series of electroacupuncture treatments and made an excellent recovery.Today, Bleu is back to running, playing, and enjoying life. He does occasionally experience minor urinary incontinence when he becomes overly excited, so we typically keep him in a diaper while he is indoors.Like many French Bulldogs, Bleu enjoys the occasional "zoomies," which are always entertaining to watch, although they can become quite energetic. Overall, he has a very calm, easygoing temperament and is a wonderful companion.

Story
Max recently joined us here in cali from texas. Max was our dog for the first 3 years in texas but was not able to come with us. Recently he was dropped off here and he is not adjusting well. While he is potty trained he is able to open cabinets to get in the trash and had broken through a metal dog kennel, he has ruined a door and carpet. He really is a good dog but needs to be around other dogs and a yard to run his energy out. My lease does not allow him and I was stuck with him here and I know he just needs a good home. Please someone help give him one. He is smart and loves attention.. just needs a chance. Im begging someone to help find him a good home. I have a bed, dog food container for him for free.. I beleive he is current on shots. I've put him in a doggy daycare before and they required their shots to be current. Im willing to help any way to find him a new home. Thank you
