Story

Hi we live in the Panhandle of Florida. Flash is a 4½ yr old Lab/mix, he weighs 85 lbs. He has all his shots up to due, & neutered. He is pretty well trained by me. House trained 100% & doesn't bite or tears furniture. I am looking for a loving family that will care for him & love him. I can't have him any more because I have Multiple Sclerosis. He has knocked me down walking him. He is to strong for me to care for. My wife can't handle him either. He's at that playful age still, and I can't give him that. It hurts to give him away but due to my health I have to. We are from Florida, but we are here in a KOA in Apache Junction, AZ for 1month. We are visiting my daughter here. She is having her first baby in mid Dec. Please help me find a loving family.

Story

MEET BOOMER! Boomer is a 90 lb gentle giant who’s looking for a home where he can feel safe, loved, and understood. Rescued from the euthanasia list at county due to a treatable eye infection, Boomer arrived scared and unsure — but with time and patience, he’s been growing more confident every day. He’s house trained, crate trained, and loves lounging poolside or cruising in the car. He enjoys sunbathing, snuggling his humans, and bringing you his toys to start a game. He’ll also happily entertain himself by making up his own silly games. Boomer is full of goofy charm (yes, he’s afraid of his own farts) and affection, but he’s still learning how to process boredom or loneliness — which can lead to destructive behavior if left unchecked. He needs a patient, experienced owner who can continue building his confidence and help him understand that love and attention are always there, even when you're not in the same room. Boomer also has some special medical needs: he receives a Cytopoint injection every eight weeks for allergies and requires daily wrinkle wipes to keep his face healthy. Boomer Would Thrive In a Home With: • A calm, confident, and experienced dog owner • A secure, fenced yard (6 ft required) • A regular routine and positive reinforcement training • Someone committed to his ongoing medical care • A laid-back lifestyle with plenty of cuddle time and affection Boomer is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for a soft place to land.

Story

MEET BRUCE! Bruce is a 5-year-old brindle mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s house trained, food-motivated, and knows all the basics like “sit,” “down,” “stay,” and “place.” While he’s not the cuddly type, Bruce is incredibly loyal and always excited to see his people — complete with happy tail wags and enthusiastic jumps (watch out, he doesn’t quite realize how hefty he is!). This goofy guy has some funny habits, like gently nibbling on couch cushions (no damage — just a quirk!) and rolling around on his back with his tongue out like a clown. He loves car rides, is great at playing catch, and keeps his foster laughing with his expressive, sometimes bashful looks. Bruce is calm and well-behaved at home, even when left alone, but he can be protective and reactive on walks. He’s best walked during quieter hours, and he needs an owner who can handle his strength and guide him with confidence. Bruce should be the only pet in the home and is not a match for cats, small animals, or young kids due to his size and sensitivity to fast movements. Bruce Would Thrive In a Home With: • No other pets or young children • A calm, quiet household with minimal visitors • A secure, fenced yard (6 ft required) • An experienced dog owner comfortable with reactivity and continued training • Patience, structure, and room for him to be his goofy, loyal self Bruce is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find a home that will appreciate all his unique qualities.

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!
