French Bulldog puppies and dogs in Shelburne, 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

***REMINDER:  Please read the bio requirements and only fill in the application if you can meet ALL requirements. Due to the number of applications being received for each dog, we are only able to contact the applicants who have met ALL the listed Requirements*** Name/Tag#: Daphne 4202 Age: 3 years Sex/Altered: Female/ Spayed Weight: 22.4lb Breed: French Bulldog Foster Home Location: Penetanguishene, ON  Adoption Fee: $800.00 Temperament: Sweet, loving, funny Activity/Energy Level: Medium Up to date on Shots: Yes Housebroken: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Ok with Dogs: Yes Ok with Cats: Unknown Ok with Kids:  Yes, kids over age of 10 Origin: Mass breeding facility Requirements: Securely fenced yard, someone home a lot of the time, experienced with the breed, no kids under 10 years   Videos of Daphne: https://youtube.com/shorts/R8GWNaX_zGw?si=dmzlPnVJ4ClgLj9                                    https://youtube.com/shorts/_6yfVqUfLL8?si=h-odGUSIgjmMsvCT And now, a few words from me: Hi! Daphne here. My motto? Girls just wanna have fun! Foster mom says I am a bundle of joy. Just a happy girl who enjoys walks, running around the house at top speed, playing with toys and most importantly hanging out with my humans- preferably right on top of them. Not to brag but, I am a pretty good listener. If you call me, I will come running and stick to you closely like peanut butter on bread. Foster mom keeps reminding me I am a four- legged creature but meh- I like to stand on my hind legs so I can see stuff you know?   And now, a few words from my foster mom: Daphne makes us laugh and smile every day. She is hilarious. Part dog, part piglet, part mountain goat, Daphne walks well on a leash, snorts like a pig and wants to climb everything possible. Daphne has not yet differentiated between a chair and a table- she just wants to stand in the highest place possible. She does well on a leash and often stops to stare at squirrels or birds- she just looks at them with fascination. Daphne seems to forget she has 4 legs and stands on her hind legs often- she jumps on people to get closer, but she is also stretching her robust little body to see as much as she can. This sweet, loving Frenchie would love nothing more than to snuggle up VERY closely to her human. Daphne has been a great “work at home” companion and would love a home where someone is home most of the time. She will need a securely fenced yard and someone with breed experience please as Frenchies require some maintenance of skin folds, their nose, etc. Daphne identifies as a petite, delicate girl but in fact she is more similar to a 22lb bull in a china shop so an experienced Frenchie owner will understand this excitable part of her.

Due to the number of applications being received for each dog, we are only able to contact the applicants who have met ALL the listed Requirements*** Name/Tag#: Betty 4200 Age: 5 years (DOB- Aug 5, 2028) Sex/Altered: Female/ Spayed Weight: 25 lbs Breed: French Bulldog Foster Home Location: Ottawa, ON Adoption Fee: $800.00 Temperament: Sweet, playful Activity/Energy Level: Moderate Up to date on Shots: Yes Housebroken: Work in progress Crate Trained: No Ok with Dogs: Yes Ok with Cats: Yes Ok with Kids: Yes, dog savvy kids over 6 years Origin: Mill Requirements: Securely fenced yard, someone home most of the time, companion dog in the home, experienced dog owner, no kids under 6 years.   And now, a few words from me: I’m definitely not shy! I love humans, all humans, immediately when I meet them. My favourite thing is to be pet and cuddled. I also like playing with the cat, stuffies and any toy my foster sister is playing with. I’m getting used to walking on a leash and sometimes want to stop and rest, but my favourite part of walks is getting pets from all the people I meet on the street. I’m working on learning house rules, and I’m getting a little better every day.   And now, a few words from my foster mom:  Betty might be the most extroverted dog I’ve ever fostered. She falls deeply in love with every human she meets and can be found staring adoringly at anyone who happens to be in her vicinity. She’s quite playful and has lots of energy for play (less for walking). She loves nothing more than to snuggle up and nap, but she also has a silly side and enjoys tug of war, wrestling with the cat or her foster sister, and tossing around stuffies. Betty is a smart little pup and her house training is progressing well. She is learning to walk on a leash, and can climb a short flight of stairs (less than 4) but still needs to be carried for longer staircases. She does the cutest little dance against the porch door or baby gate when she wants human attention and wins over every person who meets her. Questions?

***REMINDER:  Please read the bio requirements and only fill in the application if you can meet ALL requirements. Due to the number of applications being received for each dog, we are only able to contact the applicants who have met ALL the listed Requirements*** Name/Tag#: Biscuit 4201 Age: 4 years (DOB- May 2, 2020) Sex/Altered: Female/ Spayed Weight: 25 lbs Breed: French Bulldog Foster Home Location: Ottawa, ON Adoption Fee: $850.00 Temperament: Quirky, playful, stubborn, sweet Activity/Energy Level: Moderate Up to date on Shots: Yes Housebroken: Work in progress Crate Trained: No Ok with Dogs: Yes Ok with Cats: Yes Ok with Kids: Yes, dog savvy kids over 6 years Origin: Mill Release Requirements: Securely fenced yard, someone home at least part time, companion dog in home, experienced dog owner, no kids under 6 years   And now, a few words from me: I am a little bit cautious about new things, but once I try something new I usually like it a lot. I really really like to try out new textures with my teeth, so my foster mom makes sure I always have something to chew on. I really like to snuggle up with people and other dogs once I get to know them, and people seem to laugh a lot when I’m around. And now, a few words from my foster mom:  Biscuit is a quirky little one. She is cautious at first with new people/experiences, but warms up fast. She loves to explore outside, chase sticks and chew on bones. Biscuit seems to be curious about everything, and often ends up with objects that we thought were tucked away. She loves socks, sticks, and chin rubs. Biscuit’s training is a work in progress. She is starting to understand the need to go outside, but has a few tricky spots indoors she prefers. She loves sniffing around the yard, and is happy to be outside exploring. She is learning to walk on a leash, and can climb a short flight of stairs (less than 4) but still needs to be carried for longer staircases. She rarely barks except in response to other dogs, and her little snorts and snoring are the background music to any setting she’s in! Her markings give her a very distinct appearance, and she makes us laugh all day with some of her expressions. Questions?
