Story

Calling all Frenchie lovers! Cannoli is a beautiful 1 year old French bulldog who has been looking for her forever home. We pulled her from the harbor shelter where she was surrendered because the previous owners didn’t have knowledge of frenchies and decided she wasn’t a good fit. She had severe allergies and a skin infection which was cleared up with cytopoint, antibiotics and a change of diet. We think she’s been overlooked because she doesn’t have the traditional Frenchie face (a bit smooshed) but she is definitely all Frenchie. She has her own funny quirks that will brighten your day and make you laugh. Her favorite thing in the world is shoes, whether while on your feet or on their own. If you give her an old shoe, she will self entertain by running around the yard with it. Tennis shoes are her favorite. She’s incredibly sweet, crate trained and potty trained. She gets along with all dogs and cats and loves all people. She doesn’t bark or cry but does snore while sleeping. Please give her a chance. She deserves a loving home. Her adoption fee includes: wellness exam, vaccines, microchip, deworming, flea treatment and spay. P.S. she also thinks she is a turtle so she puts her bed over her as her shell 🐢

Story

Meet Marley! Marley is a very tiny 5 month old French Bulldog who is looking for a loving forever home! She is incredibly sweet and has such a spunky attitude. She has been diagnosed with Hydrocephalus which causes her to overstep, shake a bit and be a bit unbalanced. She likes to play and chew on her toys. She is a bit delicate and will need an owner that can watch her consistently and be careful with her. With other animals, she needs to make sure she can't be squished. She does well with all dogs she has met. She will need ongoing veterinary care through her life but is loving everyday she is living! It is important to note that Marley will not live a full long life. Please email us to find more about her to learn about her specific needs.

Dolly

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Dolly is a loving and extremely friendly 4 year old purebred tricolor brindle English Bulldog with lots of love to give! She was an owner surrender from a previous breeding operation. She is very affectionate and loyal and will cuddle up to you on the couch. She is a gentle, smart and curious dog, but can also be funny and quite a couch potato. She would be the perfect addition to a family, as she loves kisses, cuddles, kids and other animals. Dolly has met numerous dogs and cats big and small and she was great with them all. The original owner got rid of her son previously a few months back, so she is very reliant on having another dog in the house. She would love a family with kids or a couple- just wants all the love, but you must have another dog. Her adoption fee covers: wellness exam, spay, microchip, flea treatment, vaccines, deworming and dental. P.S. She has the cutest underbite of them all :)

Redondo Beach, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Piper is a young dog looking for an active home. She is very smart and walks perfectly on a leash. Piper knows many commands and is easy to train. She's fully house trained. Although Piper is being fostered with other dogs and cats, Piper needs to be an only dog. She's fine walking past other dogs on the street, but needs a home of her own. She is very playful, smart and loving. In the right home, Piper will be an easy dog. She'll do best with someone who has had a big dog in the past, but no current dogs. Piper does best with structure, and loves to learn. She is a healthy, happy young girl. We had her spayed, fully vaccinated and microchipped. If you live in the Southern California area and would like to meet Piper, please complete our adoption application found on dexterfoundation.com
