English Bulldog puppies and dogs in Apache Junction, Arizona

I’m Vinnie – CEO of Vacuum Hater CLub I’m a three-year-old low-rider exotic bully, built solid and close to the ground. I’m not loud or flashy—I’m the kind of guy who watches first, settles in, and keeps things steady. I’ve transitioned into rescue life incredibly well, and that says a lot about who I am. My Daily Vibe I’m a very good boy. I haven’t had a single accident since coming into foster care. I sleep through the night, go to bed without issue, and handle routine like a pro. I’m not big on playing or causing chaos. I get along well with other dogs and mostly mind my own business. I love hopping up on the couch and going straight to sleep—it’s kind of my thing. I absolutely love being outside. When the weather’s nice and the back door is open, I’ll spend most of my day out there doing my thing. Sometimes I lay in the sun, sometimes I just hang out and exist. My foster has to check on me because I’m so content out there. If the door isn’t open, I’ll sit patiently by it until you let me out. No fuss, no drama—just waiting. Food, Treats & the Good Stuff I eat really well and I love my treats. Morning Greek yogurt with blueberries? That’s top-tier in my book. I appreciate the good things in life and don’t take them for granted. A Few Things You Should Know About Me I get very excited when loud electronic things turn on—vacuums, blow dryers, even the Insta Pot. I take those noises personally. I’ve gone after another dog a couple of times when those sounds were happening, but I do correct pretty well. My foster keeps us separated during noisy moments now, and that works great. I will bark while the noise is happening, but once it’s over, I settle back down. I’m still figuring out men. There’s one guy—Damien—who I haven’t trusted yet. I charged him once when he surprised me in the backyard, and again later when he tried to pet me. I let him at first and then changed my mind. I’ve been friendly with most other people, so this seems situational, but it tells you I need slow introductions, space, and time to decide someone is safe. Once I trust you, I’m solid. My Rescue Story I was saved from an LA shelter where I was sitting on the euthanasia list with no interest and no time left. Freedom Frenchie Rescue wanted me, but being in Arizona and not partnered with that shelter made things complicated. Time was running out fast. Then a family stepped up and adopted me just to save my life. I was super skinny and severely malnourished when they got me, and because of their care, commitment, and love, I’ve gained about 7–8 pounds and finally look and feel like myself again. They made sure I was medically cared for, safe, and loved—even knowing they weren’t meant to be my forever. Later, a friend of the rescue asked if Freedom Frenchie could take me in, and now here I am. Mo met in San Diego to get me and I had a backpack full of separated meals, toys, treats, medications, and my favorite blanket. That kind of love sticks with a dog. It also stuck with Mo she said “there are good people, cut from the same cloth Vinnie” Funny how life works—rescue tried to get me in at the end of October and couldn’t, and now I’m here, safe, steady, and hanging out with a bully-experienced foster. I want it said clearly: I’m alive because someone chose me when no one else did. The Home I’m Looking For I’m looking for a calm, structured home with someone who understands that trust doesn’t happen overnight and that rescues don’t come with instant expectations. I do best with slow introductions, especially with men, and a human who respects my space while showing up consistently. A yard where I can hang out, sunbathe, and quietly enjoy my time would make me very happy. I’m not here for chaos or pressure—I’m here for stability, patience, and a home that understands who I am. Final Word from Me I’m not a puppy. I’m not a clown. I’m a solid, loyal, low-key guy who’s still learning what real safety feels like. Don’t rush me. Don’t expect perfection. If you give me patience, respect my boundaries, and let me grow into myself, I’ll meet you there—steady and loyal the whole way. If that sounds like your kind of dog, I might just be your guy. Love, Vinnie This guy is vaccinated, spay and microchipped, he is being fostered in Mesa, AZ. His adoption donation fee is $1100.00 and you can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org

Hey. I’m Bronson. I’m Bronson, a 5-year-old Exotic Bully, clocking in at a solid 55 pounds of muscle, charm, and questionable decision-making. I currently reside with Freedom Frenchie Rescue, where I’ve been informed that I am “a lot,” but in a good way. I came here as a rescue plea from San Bernardino Animal Shelter after animal control found me “aggressively fighting a garbage can.” Now listen—was I aggressive? Or was I hungry and defending my right to snacks? History will decide. What I do know is that I was misunderstood, underfed, and ready for a comeback tour. The Redemption Arc Since landing in rescue, I’ve been finding my groove. As the world turns, I’ve been becoming more me every day—more relaxed, more confident, and way more comfortable knowing I’m safe. Turns out when you’re not fighting garbage cans for survival, life gets pretty sweet. But I do go for the occasional mop and bucket, sometimes I just have to fuck shit up and laugh! I am a dog and y’all are humans you have bad days to! But hey no one ever gets hurt and I do not go after people and dogs. I love my little Frenchie foster brother and I’m learning the ropes with my other foster siblings. The only thing I’m still side-eyeing is height ( they are super trained rotties) Tall dogs make me nervous. HOWEVER, I have learned that tall dogs are extremely useful when toys get stuck or treats are just out of reach. So we coexist peacefully. Mostly. I can eat next to them and everything is fine and sometimes I do think about curling up next his lady but I don’t think cheating is her thing. The House Rules (and How I Feel About Them) 🏠 Cats? Hard no…haha I tried so hard to get under that couch and it was not happening. I cat wasn’t even under there anymore and I was looking forever! Man they are quick! I’m not good at hide-and-seek, the cat always wins, and frankly, it hurts my confidence. Chickens? Allegedly we have chickens, but I’ve never noticed them and would like that statement to stand. I do best in a home without cats, but I’m cool with dogs when introductions are done right. Let me repeat myself INTRODUCTIONS ARE DONE RIGHT, 333 please! I’m a respectful dude once everyone understands the hierarchy (spoiler: I think it’s me, but I’m flexible). My People I secretly love preteens and older kids ( not I’m not a weirdo we are just on the same brain waves) They’re fun, they understand my energy, and they don’t judge me for being a little extra. I’m a champion cuddler and a huge fan of snuggling in bed watching classic TV with my friend Gabby (teenager). If there’s a couch, a blanket, and a human nearby, I will find them. At night, I sleep in my own bed next to my foster mom. She tucks me in every night, which I graciously accept. I won’t tell her that I prefer to fluff my own bed like an adult. Some traditions are sacred. The blanket on me is the icing on the cake! Social Life & Celebrity Status I LOVE going out. I love meeting new people. I love taking pictures. I love attention. I am basically the guy at the party who knows everyone and somehow ends up in all the photos. Want a dog who’s down for anything? Going out? I’m in. Staying home? I’m in. Sharing food? I was born ready. I am a social butterfly, a cuddle extraordinaire, and honestly? A great date. Health Check: Strong Like Bull When I first arrived, I had a urinary infection that caused blood to come out in a scary amount. No not in my urine it was after I urinated. Not my finest moment. The rescue got me on antibiotics, got me neutered, and—like the pros they are—called it: neutering fixed an underlying prostate issue. Everything cleared up quickly, and now I’m feeling fantastic. Healthy. Comfortable. Thriving, and peeing like an Olympian. Gold medal please! The Bottom Line I’m full of love, chaos, loyalty, and heart. I’m the kind of dog who will be your ride-or-die, your couch buddy, your wingman, and your emotional support hype man. I’m an exotic low riding bully do your research! I may have started this chapter throwing hands with a garbage can (reminder: food), but I’m ready to end it exactly where I belong—with people who get me. Love, Bronson 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 Mesa, AZ.

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

Hi. I’m Chomps. Yes… that Chomps. I’m the complete small-bulldog package — five years old, currently weighing in at 38 pounds and proudly gaining (as I should). I came to Freedom Frenchie Rescue from an animal shelter in Los Angeles, and getting me to Arizona was quite the adventure. A transporter stepped up to adopt me on the rescue’s behalf while picking up other dogs, and despite some unnecessary shelter drama that doesn’t matter anymore, I made it safely and comfortably to Arizona. That’s the only part that counts. Ball Is Life (and I Mean That Literally) Let’s be clear about something important right away — ball is life for me. I am deeply obsessed. My favorite ball is a rubber one with grooves, and Mo has made sure I’m very well stocked. I love sunbathing more than just about anything, especially when I can lounge with two balls tucked under my neck and my chin resting peacefully on one like I’m living my best luxury bulldog life. Because I love my ball so much, I can sometimes resource guard it if someone gets too close. Most dogs understand my warning, but a few don’t, which can lead to mishaps. The rescue is actively working with me on this, and I’m responding very well. When redirected, I stop growling quickly, but consistency is important. I’m learning that there are plenty of toys, no one is taking anything from me, and playing with other dogs can actually be even more fun. With time, trust, and follow-through, I continue to improve every day. My “That Escalated Quickly” Medical Chapter When I arrived at the rescue, I had a large mass above my tail, so surgery was scheduled to remove it and to neuter me at the same time. Everything seemed to go smoothly, and once surgery was finished, a volunteer picked me up to bring me back to Mo’s house. Then, completely out of nowhere, I started bleeding everywhere — it looked like a full-on murder scene in the car. Luckily, the volunteer was only about two miles away, turned around immediately, rushed me back to the vet, and carried me straight inside. The vet staff jumped into action, and thankfully, the people waiting for their appointments were incredibly understanding. It turned out I hadn’t been bleeding during surgery or immediately afterward, but a blood vessel hadn’t been fully cauterized. I went into emergency surgery, had additional stitches and staples placed, and came through like a champ. I have since healed beautifully and am once again very active and very much myself. Food, Trust, and My Inner Vacuum Cleaner I absolutely love food, but I eat so fast that I have to use a slow feeder to prevent choking. It’s frustrating for me at times, but it keeps me safe. Everyone at the rescue is fed in their crate for safety, and I will resource guard my food in my crate if another dog hovers nearby. This is something we continue to work on as I build trust and confidence. I’m learning that food always comes, toys are always available, and love is guaranteed. My current diet consists of Zignature Fish probiotic kibble mixed with Tucker’s raw salmon. I eat a cup and a half in the morning and a cup and a half in the afternoon, with several snacks in between. I take treats extremely gently from your hand, and I have a signature side-eye stare that I use while waiting for you to “accidentally” drop food — even when you’re not actually holding any. Potty Training & Life Lessons Potty training is still a work in progress. I used to pee on my crate mat consistently, so the rescue removed it altogether. Yes, it’s unfair. Yes, it’s tough love. But it works. Since removing the mat, I haven’t had any accidents in my crate, and we’re continuing to reinforce good habits every day. Teeth? Never Heard of Her. Let’s talk about my teeth — or lack thereof. I don’t have many, especially on the bottom. I’ve got my canine, although even that one isn’t fully intact. Despite this, I do just fine and have no trouble eating or enjoying treats. As you can tell from my photos, my smile is more gums than teeth, and it only adds to my charm. Spa Life, Snorts & Bulldoggery I don’t mind baths at all. I’ll just sit there and soak it in like a polite little bulldog gentleman. My first bath required four full washes because I was extremely dirty, but who’s counting? My nose stays crusty no matter how much it’s cleaned or moisturized with cocoa butter, but that’s Arizona desert life for you. I’m very vocal, but not in a barking or whining way. I communicate through snorts, snuffles, and bulldog chatter. If you could speak snort, we’d have full conversations. My farts are loud, frequent, and unapologetic, and my naps are long and luxurious. About BOAS Surgery Yes, I could benefit from BOAS surgery, but it is not medically necessary at this time. It does not currently affect my quality of life, and given my previous difficulty healing, the rescue and vet have decided not to take that risk. I live in Arizona, my outdoor time is carefully managed, and I am never allowed to play in the heat. Now that I’m fully healed, the focus is on letting me enjoy life safely as I am. My Ideal Home I’m looking for a home that understands bulldogs and is willing to provide structure, consistency, and continued guidance with toys and feeding routines. I need someone who appreciates snorts, naps, noisy farts, and a dog with a big personality packed into a compact body. In return, I offer endless laughs, loyal companionship, gentle treat-taking, and sun-drenched naps by your side. About Friends, Cuddles & Learning How to Be Home If you’re hoping I’ll instantly be best friends with your dog or jump right into cuddle mode, that can absolutely happen — but it will take time. I’m still learning about life and what it means to live in a real home. Everything is new to me: the routines, the people, the expectations, and the love. Please don’t come into adoption with super high expectations of me right away. And honestly, don’t have unrealistic expectations of any rescue dog coming into your home. We don’t know you yet. We don’t know your dogs. Trust has to be built, not forced. I need time to understand what kind of love you’re offering and to feel safe enough to accept it fully. When that happens — and it will — the friendships, cuddles, and connection grow naturally and mean so much more. Final Words from Me I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve come out stronger, happier, and ready for my forever home. If you’ve got room in your heart — and maybe space on your Amazon list for grooved rubber balls — I might just be your guy. Love, Chomps Chomps is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, you can apply for him on freedomfrenchierescue.org. He is located in Mesa, AZ and his adoption donation fee is $1100.00. *Please Note: All learning and guidance must continue in their new home. A dog’s behavior can change with a new environment and energy, and every family’s dynamic is different. What works or is allowed in one foster home may not be the same in yours, so consistency, patience, and continued training are key to their success.

Meet Casper, the handsome goofball with a heart as big as his smile. His journey to happiness has not exactly been a walk in the park. He first found himself in isolation at the Humane Society, battling pneumonia. Once in our care, we learned he also had Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome, which made every breath a struggle and left him vulnerable to aspiration pneumonia. But Casper is no quitter. After a successful airway surgery, he is breathing easy and finally able to live life the way every dog should, full of tail wags, zoomies, and sunshine naps. Of course, healing is not just about the body. It is about the heart, too. Casper is currently enrolled in a Board and Train program with our friends at Connected Canine, where he is learning to build trust, confidence, and calm. During training, we discovered that Casper is deaf, which helped explain some of the anxieties he carried early on. With consistent hand signals, patience, and a whole lot of love, Casper has been absolutely thriving and showing just how capable and intelligent he is. This boy is a true social butterfly when it comes to other dogs. He lights up around his canine pals and happily joins in playtime shenanigans. He is equal parts goofy entertainer and cuddle connoisseur. One minute making you laugh with his silly antics, the next melting into your lap for snuggles. Casper is ready for a forever family who will embrace him for exactly who he is, unique, resilient, and overflowing with love. If that sounds like you, apply today at skysanctuaryrescue.org/adopt. We cannot wait for you to meet this very special boy.
