French Bulldog puppies and dogs in Firestone, Colorado

The very best things about Walter are his grumpy face and his silly personality. He is very much puppy-like and inquisitive about everything. Walter was picked up as a stray on NYE and transferred to RMFBR by the shelter. He is hairless. His DNA results came back at 9% Chinese Crested and 91% French bulldog. He will need care for his hairless skin. He would be best with someone that wants a dog to be by their side all the time: A very faithful, silly, yet naughty shadow. His favorite place to be is right next to or on top of his person - he has to be touching them! Someone that is willing to work with him on training. He is very smart and treat motivated. He has practiced a little bit of agility and has done really well. Working his brain helps keep him out of trouble. Daily Routine Breakfast at 7am Treat around noon Dinner at 5:30pm Bathroom breaks when he first wakes up and before bed. Usually wakes up between 4am-6am to go to the bathroom and then goes back to sleep till breakfast time. Spends his day alternating between napping, playing with toys and if the weather is nice, a little sun bathing and exploring the yard. We walk at least every other day. He would love to walk daily. We walk at least mile up to 1 miles (dependent on weather/temperature). Sleeping Walter sleeps in a crate outfitted with a fuzzy bed and soft blanket. He is good about going in the crate at night, but sometimes he tries to stay on the couch. He is easily persuaded with a small treat followed by belly rubs. He is crated since he usually has to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and since it is so warm and cozy in the house, he would prefer to go to the bathroom in the house than outside. Bathroom Training He uses a dog door most of the time. There are pee pads by the dog door in case it is too cold outside and he does use them. He does not use the dog door at night. He sleeps in a crate and is taken out if he has to go then back to bed. The crate is in our bedroom, if you would like for him to serenade you all night, he can be crated in another room. He is really good about NOT going to the bathroom in his crate. He is so good that he will let out the tiniest whine between 4am-6am to let you know he has to go. Then when you open the crate door he just lays there looking at you like disturbed his sleep. Don't fall for this trick! He is waiting for you to go to the bathroom and just when you are mid-stream he will exit the crate to find a warm spot in the house to go to the bathroom. Therefore, it is recommended to carry him to the door and put him out to go to the bathroom. This is usually only necessary for the middle of the night bathroom breaks. When it is cold out you do have to make sure he goes out to the bathroom. It is recommended you keep eyes on him until he goes to the bathroom. He is always waiting for you to drop your guard. A few prompts and a stern look will usually get him to go. Walter knows how to "fake pee to get back inside when it's cold. He will make a very brief squat like he is peeing, usually making direct eye contact with you, but doesn't actually pee. Then comes running back inside, very happy with himself. Walks He loves going on walks. He usually takes his time sniffing around and goes the pace of his foster siblings. When walking with his foster sister, he likes to try to play with her, but he doesn't do it with his old man foster brother (he knows better). When his harness comes out, he sits patiently for you to put it on him. Car Rides He loves going on car rides. His favorite spot is to sit on the backseat and rest on the hammock divider with his paws on the center console or in the doggy booster seat. He is very good in the car. He prefers if you lift him in and out of the car. Dogs Absolutely LOVES other dogs; especially if they will play with him. When dogs come to his home then he can be wild and things its wrestle time. He may need to be redirected to settle down. If he is meeting them on neutral territory, he starts off shy and then warms up to his playful self. He would love to have another dog that will play and run around with him. Kids & Cats Walter hasn't been around either. He saw a cat on a walk and was very interested. I think he would be very excited and interested in kids or cats and depending on how they respond to him will determine his interest level. I think he would be good with kids that are respectful of him and that would play well with him. He does play bit/chew like a puppy, so that would need to be managed. Likes: Literally just about everything! He is crazy for any kind of food! Licky mats with yogurt & peanut butter or baby food. Dislikes: Anyone that doesn't like him. Not being near his people. Water on his face & ears. Grooming He will need regular baths for his skin. He is very good at getting baths. He gets a licky mat treat stuck to the side of the tub and he enjoys that while getting washed. He doesn't like having water on his face, so a wash cloth is used for his face. Other Personality Stuff He is cautious when he goes to new places or meets new people. Once he has had a chance to check it out and realize all is good, he relaxes and is very playful. He loves being near his people! He is always there, watching you, or touching you. When you think he isn't around, you will be surprised by his cold, wet face pressed against you. Anything that he can get in his mouth, that he wants to get in his mouth, will get in there - especially if he knows you are not watching and if he is even slightly bored. So far everything he has eaten has come out the other end. Hair ties, stud earrings, foam from inside a dog bed, eye ointment, twigs & mulch are the things I can recall. Highly recommended to have pet insurance. We have managed this in two ways: 1. He is crated when we are not home or if I need to do something and can't keep an eye on him. 2. We have "Walter-proofed an area and he is limited to that space when we are not around. This means removing anything from reach that could get in his mouth. Anything that could be reached by him hopping on a chair, couch, or low table to get on a surface. Neuter, nares, and skin repair $4500 done

Hi! I am Buddy. I am a handsome, loving, full of character, will make you smile, warrior, super hero of a frenchie that would love to be your next shadow! I love snuggling with humans and my fur friends, of course treats, car rides, walks (but short or in my wheel chair.) Sometimes on walks I like to bark at other dogs, but I'm just protecting my foster family. I got hit by a car on my left side, so I'm still healing from that. My front left leg will probably take a significant amount of time to get back to normal, but I think it will come back slowly but surely. My foster family likes to use my DNA vibe on me to help the healing and it also is very relaxing. Like I said earlier, I also have a wheel chair that I don't love, but I'm practicing everyday to like it. I DO like having ramps in my foster families house because then I can get on the couch and bed easily. If you have stairs, you will probably have to carry me for the time being. I have a lot of energy and I am a determined, warrior frenchie. If I want to get some where, I will. I also like to run outside when the door opens, just to get out there and see what's going on. so Becareful with me, because I will try to escape!I get along with other small fur friends, but when they get to be bigger than me, I'm not too sure about them. I also like to eat my food in private and my treats and bones. Sometimes if I see my fur friend with a toy I want, i get upset and will go after them. So best to leave some toys for private time. I eat my delicious Purina Pro twice a day. And I am always down for a delicious treat. I sleep with my foster parents and foster fur sibling in their giant king bed. I prefer to spoon, small spoon is my favorite. I like to wake up when they get up and I need to go potty first thing. I spend my day loungin, soakin up the sun, following you around everywhere you go and putting smiles on faces! My foster mom is constantly taking pics of me because I'm so handsome. I call her the pup-a-rozzzzzzi! I am one handsome boy and would love to fill your heart if I sound fitting and right for you! Buddy was transferred from a shelter. He is slightly paralyzed in the rear end. Buddy was hit by a car and is still recovering. His left front shoulder nerves are still recovering and he may not be able to use that leg for another six months. He is in a 4-down cart. He is a happy, silly, and sweet boy. Buddy is in Utah but we can help transport. Buddy will have a $300 special needs concession on his adoption donation. Hit by car - $6500 ICU done

Owner surrender: Could not afford/should be the only dog

Coco was transferred to us from a local shelter due to severe ear infections. He is scheduled for his third ear surgery 4/17. His infections were so severe, they calcified and exploded both ear drums. To give him the life he deserves - one without pain - both ear drums (pieces) must be removed. Double TECAs and neuter/nares $16,000 - done Typical daily routine - what food and how/when she eats, potty time, play time, walks and how he does on them. Coco is very food motivated. He likes to have his bowl of food when he wakes up but will not eat it until around 10am. He is a very punctual gentleman for dinner at 5pm and gobbles it down. A maze food bowl would be a good idea for this one. He will do any trick in the book for a treat. Sit, stay, stand, rollover, etc. Coco is house trained and uses the doggie door with ease. No marking. Coco will play at any point with anyone and tends to carry and chew on his own toys throughout the day. He knows which toys are his and does not bother with anything else. He does not get on furniture or beds which is rare for a Frenchie. He loves his walks and is very, very good on a leash. No pulling whatsoever. He does not run away. He will stay by your side. As his hearing improved, he can be curious/startled at certain noises but just tends to freeze for a moment or two. Kids? Cats? Dogs? Coco loves kids and does well with them, even younger children. He doesn't mind cats at all. Any dog that is the same size or bigger than Coco, he has a problem with if they go anywhere near the proximity of where he is fed. He craves a lot of affection. After he was well fed and has relaxed somewhat about his food bowl, he has replaced his focus on wanting all the attention so it would be good to be the only dog in the home or someone who can work through Coco's long-term need to feel secure about food and affection. Likes and dislikes Coco is looking to be snuggled. His smelly ears make this a difficult task at times. He loves to snuggle in his fuzzy bed and any blanket he can find. I am not certain how long he has been without hearing but now that he can hear a bit, he is startled at "new" noises to him like the wind blowing in the doggie door or the other dogs barking. Coco loves toys. Coco loves people. Coco loves walks and car rides. He is a true companion. He does not like to be left out of anything and will sleep at your feet to be near you. Ideal home Coco will do well with someone who makes him part of their daily routine. He would also do well in a home with children. Funny quirks. Quirks that may be concerning to a new owner and how to overcome them. When Coco is hungry, he will go get a piece of poop from the yard and bring it to you. He does not eat it. He does it to get your attention. Coco also has a deep bark which probably comes from not hearing so well. It's not loud, just very deep sounding. I do believe Coco just learned how to bark with his improved hearing. His ears need to be cleaned every day with a proper ear solution to keep the smell and itching down until Coco gets a TECA. The very best thing about him. I absolutely love Coco. His eager face looking at you at the time warms the heart. No side-eyes from this one. He gives you all of his heart and expects the same of you. Coco also sleeps so soundly. Basic personality Eager to please. I have never met a dog that wants and deserves a home so much. With some work with security, Coco would make an excellent emotional support dog due to his ability to read your emotions on your face. I do believe he picked up doing this when he could not hear. Shelter transfer: Severe ear infections

Midge is a 2 yr old FrenChiX, around 28 lbs, and the sweetest gremlin you'll ever meet! Ears for days, a smile full of teefs and a silly tongue ready for kisses! Midge is a former breeder mama from Mexico, and she is looking forward to snuggles for the rest of her days. Midge's nickname is "pepita" because she is a spunky little nugget. She has learned how to be on a leash and she loves her sidewalk adventures, but could use more training as she is curious about all the new and exciting things in the world around her. Everything is so exciting! Midge is currently in foster with another dog, and cats. She has been great with all dogs that she has met - outside on walks and adoption events, and with her foster brother. She would do best in a home with lower energy dogs her size or smaller; as larger bouncy dogs can be a bit intimidating for this little gal. She is very curious with the cats, and will calmly interact with them, but she does not chase them. Midge has almost mastered potty outside and will let you know when she needs an extra potty break. I think she might learn a doggy door pretty quick, she's so smart! She is trained to sleep in a crate at night and when no one is home. Midge has mastered the stairs, but lacks grace when using them - she's such a clown! Midge is a quiet gal, unless she wants your attention and then she sings a funny song - its a little off-key, but she is very enthusiastic. Midge is becoming a more confident and playful girl, and it is so great to see her personality coming out. She can be a bit bouncy when she is playing with you, and get a bit mouthy. She would do better with older kids that she wont knock over and who will be able to handle her spunky style of play. We recently discovered that Midge understands basic commands in Spanish! So we've been working more on those and she is making great progress! Truly, Midge is an all around easy dog who will capture your heart with her smile. Consider adding this nugget to your family, she'd love to give you some toothy kisses!

Mouse is a 2 year old French Bulldog that's blind in one eye. She is incredibly sweet.
