Story
Meet Kash! This rambunctious little guy is full of love and energy! He loves a good cuddle and long naps, as well as running around the park and saying hi to other dogs. He is just over 1 years old, and is almost fully potty trained. We would totally keep him if he weren't territorial with the cats. He is not aggressive, but will follow the cats around and mark their items (this is what I meant by 'almost' potty trained). He doesn't seem to do that with dogs or other humans, and will still play with the cats when they play. This is his second home, his first home was with a family member and her family, who were moving and could not take him with. We want him to find a loving home that is able to dedicate some quality cuddle time and lots of treats!

Now, George is ready for the next beautiful chapter: a forever home with someone who’s been waiting just for him. George is gentle, affectionate, and full of quiet charm. He adores being around kind kids and other small, friendly dogs.

He’s been neutered, vet-checked, and is current on all his vaccines—happy, healthy, and ready to share his love. His adoption fee is $480.

LEROY WRIGLEY – YOUR HOLIDAY HIP-HOPPING BULLDOG ELF Age: 2 years old • From: The 5 Freeway + Orange County Shelter • Status: Naughty-but-Nice and Ready for a Forever Home My Christmas Rescue Tale Ho, Ho, HOLD UP — let me tell you how I landed in the Freedom Squad. One minute I was roaming the 5 freeway (don’t ask… I have zero survival skills except wobbling fast), and the next thing you know, the shelter humans were sending out a full rescue plea because nobody could touch me. Not a single elf. I was “not adoptable,” whatever that means. Freedom Frenchie Rescue said, “Move—we got him.” They sent a whole action team to scoop my dramatic bulldog booty, get me to San Diego, and then all the way to Arizona where the real magic started. Decompression, Cookies, and Learning Humans Aren’t So Bad When I got to Mo’s house, they gave me my own cozy space to decompress, breathe, and finally learn the joy of regular meals (yes, several a day, thank you very much). They taught me what “potty outside” means, gave me soft blankets, talked to me gently, and showed me what safe love feels like. And slowly… the “don’t touch me!” Grinch in me started melting like a snowman in Phoenix. My Hip-Hoppin’ Bulldog Shuffle Do I walk? HECK YES. I walk, I wobble, and I can move faster than Santa’s elves when the cookies come out. I do have hip dysplasia—like most English Bulldogs—but mine is extra spicy. My hip sockets didn’t form right, so I strut around with my signature holiday wobble. Phantom of the Opera? No. Leroy of the Wiggle-Opera. Freedom did NEW x-rays and guess what? I still need PT in my future, plus good supplements and a healthy weight. (They DID have to put a few pounds on me… I was skinny like a candy cane.) But I’m doing amazing with the right meds and love. My Personality: A Bulldog Wrapped in Holiday Spirit Listen… I’m a bulldog. Which means I come with a whole personality package. I’m demanding — that’s my #1 talent. I’m opinionated about pretty much everything, dramatic when I don’t get my way, and honestly? I’m absolutely hilarious. But once I decide you’re my person, I’m loyal in a way only a bulldog can be.” I used to be super sketchy about being touched. I did try to bite in the beginning (just calling it like it is), and sometimes when you pick me up I’ll grumble like the Grinch waking up from a nap—but I’ve NEVER gotten anyone. It’s fear, not fury. Now? I come over and lay my big ol’ head in your lap. If you’re lucky I roll on my back for belly rubs. And if you scratch the side of my neck? I SWOON. I bend like a candy cane so you can get the whole thing. That’s premium bulldog service. I’m potty trained, I eat like a champion, and since my neuter I’ve stopped trying to “decorate” every object in the house with my leg lifts. Zero poop accidents. Gold star for me. I can be around other dogs—as long as they pretend I don’t exist. (Honestly same, buddy.) In the future, I could totally have a friend after the holidays… with time and trust. My Perfect Holiday Home I’m searching for someone who loves sweet-but-spicy bulldogs, keeps snacks on hand at all times, and understands slow trust-building with big-hearted patience. I’m all about scratches—just not on my hips for now—and I promise to bring goofy charm and wobbly joy into your world. If you want a loyal Christmas sidekick who’s been tough some stuff but is finally learning how to be happy, I’m your guy. All I Want for Christmas… Is YOU I’m Leroy Wrigley—two years old, a fighter, a lover, a wiggle-walker, and a redeemed freeway elf. I’m finally ready to spend Christmas warm, safe, and adored… maybe under your tree, maybe on your couch, but definitely in your heart. Love Wriggs! PS I am vaccinated, microchipped and neutered, currently I am being fostered in Mesa, AZ. My adoption donation fee is $1050.00 and you can check out how to adopt me at freedomfrenchierescue.org and apply for there too!

Story
WIDE LOAD ALERT: I’m Doohmer Hi. I’m Doohmer. I’m 5 years old and shaped like a brick wrapped in velvet. I came to Freedom Frenchie Rescue from Riverside County with a girl named Darla. Fun fact about my origin story: someone dropped us off a block away from the shelter. The only reason we were found is because a shelter employee was leaving, heard us crying, followed the sound, and called it in. Timing saved our lives. I prefer not to dwell on that part — I prefer snacks and naps. About Me & Darla Everyone thought Darla and I were bonded. Turns out… nah. We were separated to test it, and she is absolutely thriving and living her best life. Me? Same. I could not care less. No hard feelings. I’m very comfortable doing my own thing and vibing independently. My Medical Glow-Up When I came in, my eyes were a mess. I had entropion, which means extra skin was rolling inward and causing infections and making it really hard for me to see. I had surgery to fix it, and wow — it’s so nice to finally see the world clearly. I might need a touch-up someday, but right now I’m thriving and there’s no need to go back in. I feel good. I look good. I see snacks now. Potty Training? Nailed It. Let me brag for a second. Since moving into my foster home, I have had zero accidents after the first day. None. I now whine at the door when I need to go out. Do I always pick the correct door? No. But any door + a whine = I tried, and that counts. My bark-cry is loud, loving, and very effective for getting attention. My Personality (Slow But Powerful) I live by one rule: why rush? Unless snacks are involved — then I move with intention. I love everyone. Dogs, cats, pigs, horses, humans… if you have a pulse (or hooves), I’m a fan. I’m social, affectionate, and happiest just being near my people — preferably on a soft surface where I can fully sprawl and contemplate my next meal. Important Kid Disclaimer I am not recommended for small children. Not because I’m scary — because I am approximately one ton of enthusiasm and mass. I mean well. Physics does not. Older kids and adults who understand wide-load energy are a better fit for me. Foster Mom Pupdate I recently went to a horse show and absolutely crushed it. I wasn’t intimidated at all. I met tons of new people and dogs, soaked up all the attention, and may have assisted myself to part of a grilled cheese. Zero regrets. Why You’ll Love Me If you’re looking for a slow-moving, snack-motivated companion with a huge heart and an even bigger head, I’m your guy. I’m affectionate, social, housetrained, and deeply committed to comfort. Adopt me. Bring snacks. Lower expectations for speed. I am neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, my adoption donation fee is $1100.00. You can apply for @freedomfrenchierescue.org and I am currently being fostered in North Phoenix, AZ
