Duke was surrendered to us because his allergies became so severe that his owner could no longer financially continue with his medical needs. Duke suffers from severe allergies - requiring a special diet and treats, as well as daily medications for his ears. Unfortunately, the infection in his ears is so severe that the ear canals have become so narrowed we are unable to look into his ears at all. If we are unable to resolve the infection, Duke will require a procedure that will remove both of his inner ears and ear canals. This is our last resort as this will result in Duke being deaf. Unfortunately for Duke, his allergies are only one of his ongoing medical issues. Duke needs to see a neurologist as he previously suffered a back injury that was not properly taken care of at the time. He will require a CT and MRI to assess his spine and nerve column as well as to assess his ear canals. He will also need to be neutered, and will also require a palate and nares surgery to ensure that Duke will be able to breathe and not suffer from difficulty. Even with all of these things against him, Duke is a happy and very friendly guy who enjoys the company of everyone.

Thank you for your interest! Introducing loveable Boris! Boris the Frenchie loves to snuggle and is such an affectionate boy. He loves belly rubs and making snorty noises. Boris is definitely more of a morning guy and when the sun comes up, he is ready to play and start his day! Boris loves adventure, especially if that adventure includes his family. Whatever you are up to, he is happy to go along with. If he’s with his family, he is game for it all! Boris loves outdoor adventures and he is an amazing companion for hiking, walking, swimming and even paddle boarding! Boris is also a smart cookie and enjoys lots of mental stimulation games. He is doing agility training at home with his foster and is fantastic at it! He can jump super high and do all sorts of summersaults. Boris is a brachycephalic dog, so that means he will be snorty, snoring pup. You might need earplugs! We are looking for an adopter with French Bulldog knowledge due to the health concerns that can present in the breed. Luckily, Boris is a very healthy pup! Experience with brachycephalic dogs is absolutely required as he will need to be watched in the hot months for overheating and he will need a home with air conditioning to keep cool. Boris is very high energy for a French Bulldog. He can walk and hike for hours and lacks an “off” switch sometimes. So extra care must be taken to make sure he doesn’t overheat when it gets hotter out as well. Boris can be unpredictable with other dogs and is territorial within his home. He must be the only pet in his forever home. Boris can territorially guard his people and spaces along with having resource guarding with toys and food. Boris has also shown reactivity on leash while out on walks towards other dogs and strangers. Boris needs a specific home environment in order to thrive. He has shown stranger danger in his foster home and will need to be in an adult-only home with no other pets. To set him up for success, his adopters should have extensive and significant dog training knowledge and have preferably dealt with territorial guarding before. Boris is an advanced level need dog as he can be reactive to people and other pets. He needs an experienced owner as he needs lots of consistency. A home with very few visitors and without a lot of people coming and going would be ideal, as well as adopters that are prepared to take correct steps when someone does come over. The ideal forever home for Boris would be a securely fenced-in private rural property with land where Boris can run and play safely to his heart’s content without having to worry about running into strangers or other dogs. Boris would not do well living in the city or in a populated area with people and dogs walking around. He is currently being fostered on a farm and loves it! Even though Boris has specific needs in order to be his very best self, he will truly be a beacon of love in his adopters’ life. Boris is the kind of dog that will make you LAUGH. He has the best personality. When he gets excited he will flip in the air and summersault. He loves to suckle his baby dragon to sleep and makes the wildest noises and grunts. He often makes sideways glances so full of hilarity you won’t be able to stifle the laugh that will erupt. If hilarious and darling Boris is the right match for you, please fill out a Canine Adoption Application on our website at: covetedcanines.org/application
