English Bulldog puppies and dogs in Arizona

Hi, I'm Baxter. The Guy Who Somehow Turned Being a Stray Into a Personality Trait. Life has been a bit of an adventure so far. I was originally found as a stray in Kern County, California, and from there I started what can only be described as a very unnecessary road trip. I was transferred to Los Angeles, eventually made my way to Arizona, and finally landed with my foster family in Tucson. Nobody knows exactly what happened before I was rescued, but whatever my story was before, it clearly prepared me to handle change pretty well. Since arriving in rescue, I've settled into foster life like I've been doing it forever. I sailed through my neuter surgery, have shown no signs of any medical issues, and every day I become a little more convinced that the couch was invented specifically for me. Equal Parts Athlete and Professional Cuddler If you ask my foster family what I spend most of my time doing, the answer depends entirely on what time of day you ask. Some days I'm flying through the house at full speed with a toy in my mouth, launching myself over furniture like I'm auditioning for an action movie. Other times I'm completely convinced that my purpose in life is to be attached to a human at all times. I love to play, I love to wrestle with my toys, and I especially love anything that involves a game of fetch. Once I've burned through my energy, though, I'm perfectly happy to curl up next to my people and spend the rest of the evening supervising whatever they're doing. A Man of Routine One thing you'll quickly learn about me is that I take my schedule seriously. Every morning starts with a sprint outside to handle business, followed by an immediate return to the kitchen for breakfast. Once breakfast is secured, I head right back outside again just to make sure the yard is still there. It's an efficient system that I've spent a lot of time perfecting. I am also extremely food motivated, which means training me is pretty straightforward. The downside is that if you're taking too long to pour my breakfast, there's a good chance I'll try to assist. My foster family has accidentally poured kibble directly onto my head more than once because I insist on being involved in the process. The Little Things That Make Me... Me I have a few quirks that my foster family finds endlessly entertaining. For example, I absolutely love slippers, but only if they're attached to someone's foot. A slipper sitting on the floor is completely uninteresting. A slipper attached to a moving human suddenly becomes the greatest toy ever created. I also enjoy licking ears and toes, which apparently isn't something every dog does, although I personally think everyone is overreacting. Then there's my famous "froggy stance." If you scratch the middle of my ribs while I'm standing, my legs spread out and I strike a pose that has caused more laughter in my foster home than I care to admit. They've spent weeks trying to capture it on camera, and somehow every attempt has failed. Sleep Is a Full-Body Experience When bedtime rolls around, I become one of the least dignified creatures on the planet. Most dogs curl up in a nice neat little ball. I sleep completely upside down with all four legs pointing in different directions like someone assembled me without reading the instructions. It's not uncommon for my foster family to walk by and stop to make sure I'm actually alive because I look so ridiculously comfortable. The good news is that I sleep soundly and wake up ready to tackle another day of being adorable. About Other Dogs I get along with many dogs, but I also think honesty is important when you're looking for a forever family. I generally do best with dogs around my size who have easygoing personalities. Bigger dogs or dogs that are very assertive can sometimes create situations where I make less-than-stellar decisions. The best way my foster family describes it is that when another dog gives me a warning, I occasionally mistake it for the beginning of a conversation rather than the end of one. Because of that, I benefit from slow introductions, clear boundaries, and humans who are willing to help me continue building good habits. I'm not looking for conflict; sometimes I just need a little help reading the room. I need a leader and someone that will listen to the guidance of the rescue and my foster family. They do know me best! Why I Think We'd Be Great Together At the end of the day, I'm a young dog with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. I love people, I do great with kids, I'm potty trained, I listen well to my humans, and I genuinely enjoy being part of whatever is happening around me. I'm the kind of dog who will make you laugh when you least expect it, follow you from room to room just because I want to be near you, and then fall asleep upside down on your couch like I pay the mortgage. My life started with a few detours, but I think I've finally reached the part of the story where I find my family. I'm looking for people who appreciate a dog with character, a little bit of sass, and a whole lot of love to give. If you're searching for a best friend who can keep you entertained, keep your lap warm, and occasionally remind you that slippers are never truly yours, I think we should meet. Love, Baxter I am vaccinated, microchipped and neutered, currently I am being fostered in Tucson, AZ. You can apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org and my adoption donation fee is $1100.00.

Hi, I'm Kacey 💕 The Girl Who Refuses to Let Her Past Steal Her Sparkle My name is Kacey, "I just took a DNA test, turns out im 100% that bitch, yea i got my problems thats the bulldog in me!" and if there is one thing you should know about me, it's that I refuse to let the hard parts of my story define who I am. I'm only about a year old, but somewhere along the way life asked a little too much of me. Before coming to Freedom Frenchie Rescue, I was found as a stray and taken to Riverside County Shelter. Nobody knows exactly where I came from or what happened before that, so don’t ask! But when the rescue stepped in and got me the medical care I needed, it became pretty clear that my body had already been through things no young dog should have experienced. During my spay surgery, the veterinarian discovered my uterus was the size of a Rottweiler's. Let that sink in for a minute. I'm a small French Bulldog mix who weighs about 27 pounds, yet my little body was carrying the signs of a life that had likely been focused on producing puppies rather than simply being a dog. One of my ovaries was sent to a pathologist for testing, and we'll update my profile when those results come back. While parts of my past remain a mystery, what matters most is that those days are behind me now. Today, my biggest concerns involve finding the best spot on the couch, figuring out who wants to play tug-of-war, and making sure nobody forgets to hand out treats. Life's Too Short Not to Have Fun My foster family says I'm the life of the party, and honestly, I think they're right. I wake up every morning ready to see what the day has planned for me. Maybe it's a walk. Maybe it's a game of tug-of-war. Maybe it's zooming around the yard with my dog friends like we're training for the Olympics. Whatever it is, I'm all in. I have the kind of personality that naturally pulls people in. I don't need to be the center of attention, but somehow I usually end up there because I genuinely enjoy life. If another dog wants to play, count me in. If someone is handing out treats, I'll happily volunteer as tribute. If we're loading up for an adoption event, I'm already at the door waiting. There is something about me that just believes every day is going to be a good day, and even after everything I've been through, I've managed to hold onto that optimism. My Friends Mean Everything To Me I absolutely adore other dogs. Not tolerate them. Not simply coexist with them. Adore them. One of my favorite things about living in foster care is having dog friends around me. I love playing tug-of-war, sharing bones, running zoomies through the yard, and curling up next to another dog when it's time to relax. While I can certainly entertain myself, I truly thrive when I have a canine companion. My foster family believes I would do best in a home with another playful dog because having a buddy gives me confidence, keeps me active, and simply makes life more fun. The best part is that I'm incredibly easygoing. Other dogs can get right in my face and I rarely react. I'm not interested in drama. I'm not interested in proving anything. I just want to play, hang out, and enjoy life with my friends. Tiny Face, Giant Expressions I have been told I make some of the funniest faces imaginable. One minute I'm looking at you like I've uncovered the meaning of life, and the next I'm giving you a look that says I'm fairly certain you forgot to pay the cheese tax. My foster family laughs all the time because my expressions seem to perfectly match whatever is happening around me. My eyes are probably my most recognizable feature. They're incredibly expressive and somehow manage to tell my entire story without me saying a word. There is softness in them, curiosity in them, and a little bit of mischief too. People often comment that it feels like I'm looking right into their soul, and honestly, I think that's because I really do pay attention to the people around me. I like being connected to my humans and knowing what's going on. Let's Talk About Potty Training Like many young dogs, I'm still working on perfecting my potty-training skills. I have made tremendous progress, but consistency is going to be the key to my success in a forever home. Right now, my foster family takes me outside frequently, and I do best when I have a structured schedule that helps me understand exactly what's expected of me. One thing that's pretty funny is that I strongly prefer doing my business on rocks instead of grass. So if you happen to have turf, there's a pretty good chance I'll help keep it looking nice. I do occasionally go potty outside and then come back in and decide I wasn't completely finished, which is why continuing my routine in a new home will be important. The good news is that I'm very food motivated, eager to please, and smart enough to figure it out quickly with the right guidance. You won’t regret anything with my adoption except maybe two more just like me! Kacey is spay vaccinated and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $1100.00. She is located in Mesa, AZ and you can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org

Agatha (aka Aggie, aka Dusty) Built Like a Meatball, Moves Like a Ferrari Hi, I'm Agatha I was found as a stray and FFR picked me up at AZ Humane. I'm a 3-year-old exotic bully lowrider, which basically means I'm built like a tiny tank and somehow still capable of reaching speeds that should probably require a permit. People keep calling me Darla 2.0, and honestly, I understand the comparison. We both have confidence, charm, and a strong belief that we deserve to be adored at all times. The difference is there can only be one Darla, and there can only be one Agatha. Trust me—we've discussed it. The Great Utah Competition I currently live with Darla, and we're actually pretty good friends. By "good friends," I mean we spend a large portion of every day competing for Utah's attention. If Utah sits down, we're both there. If Utah walks into a room, we're both there. If Utah so much as glances in our direction, we're suddenly convinced we haven't received affection in years. It's a very serious competition and we both take our responsibilities very seriously. Thankfully, Utah has enough love for everyone, even if Darla occasionally forgets that. Bedtime According to Agatha Every evening I have one simple and completely reasonable request: I get petted first. That's it. That's the rule. Once I receive the appropriate amount of attention, I happily settle down next to Harvey and Foster Dad and drift off to sleep. I'm not saying the bedtime routine revolves around me, but everyone seems much happier when it does. Food Is My Love Language I enjoy food in all forms, but Foster Dad's crockpot creations are on a completely different level. The second those smells start floating through the house, I become very interested in whatever is happening in the kitchen. Since coming into rescue, I've put on some healthy weight and I'm looking fantastic. My little lowrider body has filled out nicely, my coat looks great, and life is pretty sweet these days. Ball Is Life Do not let these short little legs fool you. The second the horse ball comes out, I transform into an athlete. I sprint around the yard with the rest of the pack like I've been preparing for the championship game my entire life. The ball doesn't even need to belong to me—I simply need to be involved in whatever excitement is taking place. The neighbors probably think we're hosting professional sporting events in the backyard. A Little Shy, A Lot Sweet When I meet new people or find myself somewhere unfamiliar, I can be a little shy at first. I like to take a minute, look around, and make sure everything feels safe before jumping right in. Once I settle in, though, I become part of the family very quickly. Foster Dad says I fit into the household like I'd always been there, and honestly, that's exactly how it feels. I love people, I love dogs, and I love being included in whatever is happening. Just a Tiny Tune-Up I do have a small mass on my ankle that will be removed, but it's simply a minor bump in the road. Other than that, I'm healthy, happy, and ready for whatever comes next. Rescue has helped me get back to feeling my best, and now I'm ready to find a family of my own. What I'm Looking For I'm looking for a family, some dog friends, a comfy couch, plenty of snacks, and humans who appreciate a girl with a big personality. If you're searching for a dog who is equal parts comedian, cuddle bug, athlete, best friend, and professional attention-seeker, I might be exactly who you're looking for. Just know that if you sit down, I fully intend to sit next to you. And if another dog gets there first... Well, let's just say I've had plenty of practice competing with Darla. Agatha is spay, vaccinated and microchipped and being fostered in Scottsdale, AZ. Her adoption donation fee is $1100.00 you can apply at freedomfrenchierescue.org
