Story
Hey guys, my name is Chomper, I have a unique name because I have a unique mouth. As you can see, I need a little bit of special love and attention when I first got rescued. But I got everything that I needed and now I am moving onto bigger and better things! The biggest news I have is I joined the training program and I am learning to be an awesome dog. I get to show off my skills all the time, and I learn faster than my trainer can teach me, in fact, I learned so fast that it takes three trainers to work with me because they can’t keep up with how smart I am. I really do want to find a forever family and I’m hoping that maybe my unique personality and unique look about me will capture somebody’s attention. Hopefully sooner than later, because Man the older I get the more and more that couch looks really comfy just to snooze on. so keep me in the back of your mind and maybe one day you’ll help me find my family or maybe my family will be you.

Mia

French Bulldog

Female, 2 yrs 9 mos
Sonoma, CA
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Mia is a sweet and spirited 2-year-old French Bulldog with a heart full of love and a nose for adventure. Her life didn’t start out the way any dog deserves—she was abandoned and unwell when Family Dog stepped in to rescue her. But with time, care, and lots of cuddles, Mia has blossomed into a happy pup who's finally ready to find the forever home she deserves. Mia's foster mom said: "Mia is a loving, low-maintenance pup who just wants to be close to you at all times! She’s quiet, gentle, and happiest when she can curl up right on top of you for cuddles and head scratches. She’s super easy-going and doesn't have high energy needs. She was always thrilled to join my golden on walks and running with the big dogs, but then would spend the rest of the day napping, so totally wasn’t necessary. Mia knows “sit” and “no” and would totally be fully potty-trained with yard access (pee pads worked great in my apartment!). She also has the sweetest little snore that will melt your heart. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who gazes at you with pure love, Mia is your girl!" Mia is curious about the world around her and loves exploring new places, sniffing everything in sight, and getting to know her people. She bonds quickly and is incredibly affectionate—she’ll be your little shadow in no time. She gets along wonderfully with people and most other dogs, but she’d do best in a home without small dogs. Larger dogs? Great! Humans of all kinds? Even better! 💬 A few things to know about Mia: - Sweet, affectionate, and full of personality - Best suited for a home without small dogs - Curious, playful, and loves attention If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a heart of gold and the cutest bat ears around, Mia might just be your perfect match. She's had a rough start, but she's more than ready to begin her next chapter—with you.
