French Bulldog puppies and dogs in King, Ontario

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

Harley is a very goofy girl who is amazing with all of our staff members. She is a treat-eating machine! One of her favourite things is getting butt rubs, though she also enjoys playing with her food puzzles. She does like to go for walks, but is generally pretty lazy and enjoys lounging. There have been instances of resource guarding with dogs and strangers, so she would do best in a home with no children or other pets. Harley is very loyal to her people and will become your shadow if you give her a chance!

Austin is an independent little guy! He enjoys playing ball, exploring the grass and going for long walks. He will be sure to love you forever if you give him lots of butt scratches. Austin came from a home where kids did not respect his space, therefore he can bite when he is resource guarding. He has been doing amazing with us but will need a home that is comfortable working through this and also allowing Austin to have lots of quiet time and a safe place. Ideally, Austin would do well in a quiet household with only adults.

Mackey was rescued after a life of living outside all alone. This powerhouse is such a fun loving boy! Mackey does not trust new people easily but with a proper introduction and lots of time, he learns to share his things and give affection. Once comfortable with his people, he listens well and is bouncy and playful. Mackey will need an experienced adult family to manage his resource guarding and teach him how to live in a house. Mackey is very intelligent and has learned many different ways to control these behaviors. He will need continued practice with muzzle training for vet visits and boundaries in the home to control his resource guarding. With clear guidance and reward for desired behavior, Mackey can easily learn to live in a home. Mackey has a high prey drive which makes him aggressive towards small dogs and wildlife. He will need lots of control on walks, distance away from all dogs, constant obedience training and positive reinforcement to keep him in a good mindset and paying attention to his owner. Mackey would do best in a house with a fully fenced yard.
