Welcome to Freedom Frenchie Rescue Adoptables

 Meet Paris: Not From France, But Every Bit Demure

Paris joined the Freedom Squad after being rescued from the Arizona Humane Society. She was brought in as a stray, suffering from a prolapsed rectum and severe diarrhea. After undergoing surgery, she’s been making a fantastic recovery! Now, we are focused on managing her diet to keep her tummy happy. Foster mom found the right diet and receiving probiotics to help firm up her stool and living it up with her foster family! 

Foster Update: 

Paris is doing so well in foster life! She has no problems with other dogs, and seems to be interested in playtime! She is currently having her food switched, and getting her stomach just right! She loves food, so it's been finding the perfect fit for her. She has learned the doggy door! Go Paris! And does fantastic with her foster siblings in the pack. She's fit right in! She is a fantastic dog, just takes a few minutes to trust new people. With her foster mom holding her, for introductions, it's allowed her to stay safe and yet be her adventurous self. 

Personality & Daily Life: 

One thing Paris is absolutely obsessed with? Sunbathing and chasing the vacuum! This girl is acting like she is on the beach in the south of France. She is the queen of soaking up the sun, loving her time on her elevated outdoor bed, rolling around and squinting into the sunlight like she’s having a spiritual moment with the universe.

She enjoys playing with her foster siblings, and has really become part of a pack in just a few short weeks. Paris loves food time, and due to her past of being a stray she likes her feeding time to be private to enjoy! She is currently fed outside her crate, and is doing great with it! She learned routine in her foster family, and still likes to dine solo. 

Pack Life & Training Needs

Paris has learned in a short time how to navigate pack dynamics, so a slow transition into a home with another dog will be key as she thrives with structure and routine. The 3-3-3 rule will apply to help her adjust successfully. She enjoys cuddles, pets, and quality time on the couch watching Netflix with her people or settling in with the rest of the dogs when it’s time to wind down for the night. She will do best with a more submissive dog, (one dog family) or as an only dog as she has learned she is the Queen, and can often times come off as dominant. 

Medical Status

Paris is medically sound, with no extreme health concerns aside from her ongoing digestive management. Her prolapse has healed and she is doing great, and shows no signs of it reversing. 

Foster pupdate: 

Paris is protective of her home, and is very curious, not a total velcro Frenchie since she has been in foster for over three months now and has acclimated. She loves her foster siblings and she use to sit away from me while I was working now she lays with the other dogs. She picked up our routine very quickly. She is not a fan of crates or gates that is when she is aggressive with other people, when they first come over. She is a great dog and everyone who isn't applying for her is really missing out. 

Paris is looking for a loving home that will continue to support her journey! If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this sun-loving, ball-chasing, cuddle-craving girl, apply to adopt Paris at freedomfrenchierescue.org. She is vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is located in Florence, AZ.

Meet Cardi — 5 years old, 24 lbs. of sass, snacks, and squeaky toy obsession 

Cardi came to us from a “finder” in Riverside, CA. She had zero vet care and a whole lot of confusion. The person who found her said they were going to keep her, but she kept attacking their female Frenchie… and oh yeah, they never took her to the vet or treated her obvious smelly skin issues. Found? Owned? Neglected? We’ll never know — and honestly, we’d rather not. What matters is they did the right thing searching for a rescue and that she’s here now. We’ve been working hard to get her healthy and happy.

Medical:

This apricot beauty came in with mange (thankfully not a severe case), and we immediately started her on antibiotics, allergy meds, and medicated baths. She had a lot of fur missing on her back legs and folds and her breasts hung almost to the ground. Cardi was covered in Staph infection and her skin felt like 80 grit sandpaper. Her coat is finally coming back in, and she’s looking better every day. She was recently spayed after clearly having a litter recently — Her little belly and low-hanging teats are proof this girl’s been through it.

Let’s talk about personality: 

Cardi is a one-woman comedy show. She bounces like a bunny, tosses her toys like she’s playing catch with an imaginary friend, and gets hyped over the tiniest victories — like finding a ball she buried 10 minutes ago. She lives for squeaky toys, food, and exploring every corner of the yard.

Cardi is dominant with other dogs and will resource guard her toys sometimes, so a slow 333 transition is non-negotiable. She needs time and structure to settle in. We’ve had success introducing her to calm, submissive dogs — in fact, she and Muse are now besties (go figure). After 3 weeks in her new foster home her and Muse are now sleeping together!! She wants to play with other dogs but it must be her way (control freak). She’s done well with slow intros and no more than 2–3 dogs at a time. Too much stimulation sends her into overdrive. Honestly? She’d love to be your one and only. But if you’ve got a mellow male or confident-but-submissive female, she might just vibe with them too.

Family life:

She’s great with respectful kids 7+ and not cat-tested. Cardi is potty trained foster mom has taught her ques to let her know! She is great with dogs that match her energy.  She loves playing with them but she likes to play alone as well. She has to be the dominant dog of the house or it will not work out. 

Cardi is doing amazing now that she has switched foster homes and is with someone that understands her misunderstood personality. If you love camping and kayaks!! this girl loves the lake!! She had no idea and went right in (jacket on of course). Cardi is a great traveler and enjoys car rides!

Foster update:

 She’s thriving. We’re taking it slow, letting her make choices with guidance and structure, and praising every win which is a lot. She’s stubborn (hello, Frenchie), but the love she gives? Worth every second of patience. Cardi is a joy to have around and a hilarious menace. Keep your household items put away because she will think they are hers and destroy them! She loves to be petted, cuddling in her foster moms arms to take a snooze and get her bootayyy scratched! Get this, her favorite past time is chasing the grasshoppers outside and having them for a snack! She will beg to go outside to just chase the grasshoppers. 

Is it a Match:

Cardi is looking for someone who understands bulldog quirks, is committed to structure, socializing, and training, you must match her love of snacks and squeaks. She’s been through a lot, but this girl is so worth it. Are you ready to give Cardi the life she so dreams of? She is vaccinated, microchipped and spay. Her adoption donation fee is $1025.00 you can apply for her on our website. Located in Casa Grande, AZ.

  Meet Cookie – A Sweet Soul Looking for Her Safe Place

Everyone, meet Cookie, a 5-year-old French Bulldog who recently joined the Freedom Squad from the Arizona Humane Society. Cookie’s life before rescue wasn’t kind—she was found as a stray, her skin struggling with mange, her ear infected, and her little body showing the signs of being bred multiple times. But Cookie’s story isn’t about what happened to her—it’s about where she’s going next.

Personality blossom:

Since arriving, Cookie has blossomed. Her skin is clearing up beautifully with a salmon-based diet, soothing baths, and daily probiotics. Her ear is healing well with ointment, leaving her with an adorable little crinkle that makes her even more unique. After all, what’s cuter than a Frenchie with two pointy ears? One with a  floppy ear?

Cookie weighs about 23 pounds and, while the stress of her past has aged her looks, her heart is pure puppy. She loves mealtime, enjoys sunbathing in the yard with her foster siblings, and most of all, she adores being near her human.

Foster pupdate:

If you’re outside, she’s outside. If you’re inside, she’s right at your feet—or sometimes perched on the armrest, nudging you gently with her nose for love and attention. Her foster mom says she’s a little shadow and the sweetest coworker you could ever ask for. When others crates are open, she is nosey in them hunting for pieces of kibble, but she eats twice a day!! Cookie is a snack enthusiast; it’s like she has a column on tasty treats in the Phoenix Times.  When I am outside with all the other dogs she is to and they all get along so well! (like all dogs that come into our home we apply the 333 rule. She is as sweet as she is cute, and we are still learning about her and watching her personality come alive as she settles. Anyone would be missing out if they bypassed her.

Training and Trust:

Cookie does well with other dogs, but like many Frenchies (and rescue dogs in general), she prefers her food to be hers when she’s in her crate. This is normal and manageable for an adopter willing to give her patience and guidance. With time and trust, she will continue to build her confidence and let go of the insecurities that life taught her to hold onto. She’s potty trained, loves a routine, and will thrive in a home that continues to keep her on a healthy diet and commits to the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn the routine, and 3 months to truly settle in. Cookie’s forever family will need to go slow and love hard—but she is absolutely worth it.

Cookie is not defined by her looks or her past—she is defined by her sweetness, her loyalty, and her deep desire to belong to someone who sees her for the gem she truly is. Her big doe eyes, speckled with little highlights, are starting to brighten each day as she feels more secure. Her personality is blooming as her body heals.

Foster Pupdate:

She is not a fan of other breeds, it may seem like it at first but she is def the boss of the house. She has been moved to her 2nd foster home and 333 rule was applied and has been success so far. Cookie needs to be an only dog or with submissive male. She has to hog all the attention from her human and will resources guard them. Foster mom loves her and said Cookie is dedicated but who can blame her? She had a rough life she only deserves the best!

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Cookie is your girl. Give her the chance to know safety and love for the rest of her life.

You can apply for Cookie at  freedomfrenchierescue.org, her adoption donation fee is $1025.00. She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Cookie is located in Mesa, AZ but might possibly be fostered in Yuma in the next week (we will update this).

Let’s show her that forever love is real.

       Meet Val — The Snack-Loving, Nap Queen 

Bully Mix Val might just be the most snack-obsessed cuddle bug you’ll ever meet. She’s a 35-pound ball of gentle curiosity who loves curling up under your legs for naps while you are working and sneaking in little tail wiggles when she’s feeling brave. She’s still figuring out life in the rescue world — nervous but excited all at once — and every single day, she grows a little more confident. 

When Val first arrived with two other girls from Long Beach Shelter, she was shy, scared, and unsure how to eat or play. But even then, her foster mom could see her heart was determined to learn what love really feels like. With time, patience, and a consistent routine, she’s been blossoming beautifully. 

Personality traits (for now) 

Val loves her ball — she’s the self-proclaimed Nap and Snack Queen of the Yard — but if another dog gets to the toy first, she happily lets them have it. It’s clear she never had much experience with doggy play before, but she’s learning fast! Her foster mom says Val reads the room well and understands other dogs’ signals, showing amazing emotional intelligence for a pup still learning the ropes. She will avoid conflict, maybe she is still unsure or she just does not like confrontation (we are figuring her out on her time) She’s doing great on a leash, walks with a sweet back-and-forth rhythm, and rides well in the car — though she’s still a little timid, she loves watching the world go by through the window. Her excitement is her way of fighting through fear — she wants to play, wants to love, and she’s learning that it’s safe to do both. This girl is BALL OBSESSED!

Medical & Care 

Val is in great health and doesn’t show any signs of allergies! She’s on a fish-based diet like most of the pups in our rescue and has adjusted beautifully — no itchy paws or ear scratching here! She gets a daily probiotic and has done fantastic on her food transition. Every once in a while, she’ll throw in a little booty dance just to remind us she’s feeling herself. She’s not a huge fan of spa day, but she’s a good girl in the bath and handles it like a champ. Val is currently taking antibiotics for a UTI, which is what’s causing her occasional pee accidents. Otherwise, she’s doing great with crate training — she doesn’t bark, cry, or fuss, and goes in and out with no problem. Her crate has truly become her safe space for decompressing and relaxing. 

With a consistent schedule and continued patience, Val is on her way to becoming the confident, happy girl she was always meant to be. Val is spay vaccinated and microchipped her adoption donation fee is $1025.00. You can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org and read the adoption process there as well. She is being fostered in Mesa, AZ. .

  Hi guys, it’s me — Ava the LB Ball Queen!

I rolled into the Freedom Squad all the way from Long Beach with my girls Opal and Val, and let me tell you… this glow-up story is one for the history books. When I first landed here, I looked like I’d been through a few seasons of Survivor: Backyard Edition — but not anymore! Thanks to the amazing shelter staff and my new rescue fam, I’m on the fast track to feeling fabulous.

Clear the air:

Let’s clear one thing up right now — the shelter said I’m seven years old. Excuse me? There’s no way! My vet says I’m closer to four, and I’m gonna roll with that because I’ve got way too much spunk (yes, spunk — not “energy,” we’re changing things up!) to be seven. I bounce, I zoom, I wiggle, and I make everything feel like recess.

Health:

I’ve had a few rough years — it’s clear I was bred over and over again and left in some pretty awful conditions. But that’s behind me now. My tail and back are still healing from some skin issues, and my ears needed a little steroid cream TLC, but nothing’s keeping this girl down. I get my medicated baths, smell like a spa day, and strut my stuff like a comeback queen. Oh man do I love me a bubble bath, it helps after a long day of chasing the balls around. I mean really there are so many to choose from!

I’m a vibe:

Don’t let my cute bows fool you though — I’ve got major tomboy vibes. I love hanging out with my besties Chapoopie and Soto, chasing balls, and catching anything you pretend to throw (seriously, I’m convinced every hand movement is snack-related). If you raise your hand, I’m already sitting like the goodest girl, ready for whatever surprise I think is coming. I have no idea why I am so convinced there is always something in a humans hand for me. Tug of war is another one of my fave things to do! 

Potty training? Nailed it  — I haven’t had an accident in my crate in weeks! I’ll even let you know when it’s time to go out. I’ll grab my ball, do my business, and scan the yard to make sure I’m not missing any action — serious case of FOMO. I walk great on a leash, but I get a little too pumped about the world sometimes (don’t we all?).

Here’s the thing: I’m independent… until you leave me outside without you. Then I’ll sing the song of my people at the gate until you come back because life’s just more fun together. I don’t fight, but I’ll give a little warning if someone tries to steal my ball — it’s mine, okay? Plus there are so many to choose from….I’ve learned to share when it comes to playtime, but food? That’s still personal. Can you blame me? After everything I’ve been through, I’m just making sure my bowl stays full.

I’m strong, silly, sassy, and totally irresistible. I may have started my journey rough around the edges, but I’m shining brighter than ever. If you’re ready for a little chaos, a lot of laughter, and endless love — I’m your girl. Mo says I remind her of Gwen Stefani all the time, like I know who that is (eye roll)….   

I’m just a girl, ol little oh me, well don’t let out of your sight!

Love, Ava — the comeback queen with the pogo-stick legs and the cutest bow in the effen game. Apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org my adoption donation fee is $1025.00 and I’m spay, vaccinated and microchipped, located in Prescott, AZ.  Well wtf are you waiting for??????

    Hi, I’m Opal — I bloom when I feel safe.

Three years old • French Bulldog / American Bulldog mix • Loyal, spicy, and full of hear.

My Story

When I came into Freedom Frenchie Rescue with my friends Ava and Val from Long Beach Shelter, I was in rough shape. I had a terrible case of kennel cough that made it hard to breathe, and I was completely drained. My foster mom kept me close to the humidifier, gave me my medicine, and let me rest for days while she whispered that everything was going to be okay.

Once I started to feel better, I finally got that little pep in my step again — and oh boy, did it feel good. I started wagging, exploring, and showing my playful side again. But my journey didn’t stop there… I still had some learning to do about trust and leadership.

My Personality

I’m a mix of French Bulldog and American Bulldog, which basically means I’m full of personality, smarts, and loyalty. I love deeply, but I also need direction, structure, and consistency. Without it, I get confused and anxious — and that’s when I can make poor choices with other dogs or get overly attached to my person.

I don’t want chaos and emotional. I want calm.

I don’t need saving. I need leading.

If you give me structure first and affection second, I’ll follow you anywhere. But if you smother me with love before boundaries are set, I’ll start calling the shots — and that’s where I get myself into trouble. I don’t want to be the boss; I just need someone who can show me what stability feels like.

My Ideal Home

I’m searching for a home with:

• Calm,      confident leadership — someone who believes in guidance, not chaos
• Structure      and routine — I feel safest when I know what to expect
• Positive,      steady energy — I’m sensitive to moods and environments
• Older      kids (13+) who understand that I need my space sometimes
• One      neutral dog who will ignore me… or no dogs at all
• Someone      open to ongoing training — because consistency changes everything

I can coexist beautifully when the energy is right and the rules are clear. I just need a person who sets the tone and gives me the security to settle.

My Habits & Hobbies

When the world feels calm, I’m at my best. I love to take long naps with a blanket tucked around me, and I fall asleep easiest when there’s ocean music playing in the background. I’m a big fan of Netflix nights after a long day of hiking or exploring — if you like to camp, walk, or just enjoy being outside, we’ll be best friends.

I’m learning crate training and view my crate as my safe space. I might bark at first, but I settle down. I’ll also let you know when I have to go potty, because I’m a communicator and I want to do things right.

Give me a few  bam bones, some puzzle toys, and a cozy blanket, and I’m in heaven.

My Healing

My spay surgery at the shelter didn’t heal right at first — the incision opened up and got a bit infected — but my rescue family jumped right in to help me recover. Between that and my kennel cough, I’ve been through quite a bit… but I’m feeling amazing now. I’m healthy, strong, and ready for my next chapter.

My Heart

If you look into my eyes, you’ll see both the struggle and the hope. I’ve been through uncertainty, but I’ve also learned what love looks like when it’s steady and real. When I feel safe, I soften. My whole face brightens, and I finally let my guard down.

I’m not for everyone — I’m for someone who understands dogs like me. Someone who believes in patience, calm energy, and consistency. Someone who can show me what it feels like to truly belong.

If you want a hiking buddy who’ll stay right by your side, a Netflix-and-cuddle partner who melts under blankets, and a best friend who will give you her full heart once she feels safe — that’s me. I’m Opal, and I’m ready to bloom. 

Opal is vaccinated, spay and microchipped, she is located in Florence, AZ. Her adoption donation fee is $1050.00 and you can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org

  SOOKIE — Back and Better Than Ever (Well… Almost!)

Hi friends! It’s me, Sookie, and guess what? I’m BACK with my Freedom Family! I know, I know — you probably thought I was living my best life (if you want to call it that he didn’t even have a blanket for me it was an effen towel) after my February adoption. But sometimes life doesn’t go the way we plan, and I came back a little different. My rescue family asked to send me with some of my items, and it was literally the towel…

When I returned, I was 8 pounds lighter, itchy all over, missing some fur, and feeling a little nervous and unsure of myself. My confidence had taken a vacation, and my skin was throwing a full-blown protest. But the good news? I’m in the right hands again, and my Freedom Squad is helping me heal — inside and out! Seriously this foster mom has the biggest smile with me every minute of the day and wipes me down daily, wrinkles, paws, ears and then I get paid in treats!!! Like GIRL that feels good, shouldn’t I be paying you!

About Me (The Good Stuff)

Let’s start with the important things: I’m an absolute love bug. If I had my way, you’d never stop giving me kisses and cuddles. Seriously, I could cuddle for sport and won the gold medal at the Olympics. I’m also your typical ball-obsessed Frenchie — if it bounces, rolls, or squeaks, it’s mine! I’ll chase it, thrash it, and proudly show it off like I just won a championship.

I’m crate trained like a pro — but fair warning, I require one small payment before entering: a treat. (haha paid again) You’re basically paying me for my cuteness, and I think that’s a fair deal. (Honestly, I should have my own OF page for dogs.)

At night, I’m happy to sleep in my crate or snuggle up right next to you in bed — your choice. I love food (like, love love it), so a slow feeder bowl is my best friend. I’ve also been known to pull a little “heist” and sneak bites from other bowls if you’re not watching. Oops.

Social Life

I get along wonderfully with other dogs, even the bossy ones. I’ve adjusted beautifully to my foster home — and when my foster mom went on a trip, I stayed with a sitter for three days and did amazing! I’m still rebuilding my confidence, but every day I’m feeling a little more like the old Sookie again. I went to this Halloween event, and I was a legit smoke show, so I went to my area and just sat in the middle while all the other rescues came around sniffing me and I didn’t care one bit I was eating it up!

Work in Progress

Okay, real talk: potty training is still a thing. I do go to the back door to signal when I need to potty, but sometimes I forget and start sniffing around the floor. Basically, I’m inpatient and don’t want to hold it. So, when I say I have to go that means I HAVE TO GO. My foster mom says that’s my “take me out NOW” cue. I’ve had a few accidents, but I’m working on it — promise!

My Skin & Health

When I came back, my allergies were out of control. I’m currently on a special limited-ingredient diet, antibiotics for my ears and paws, a probiotic supplement, and Duoxo S3 for my hot spots. My ears need regular cleaning, and my wrinkles get wiped down daily (I call it my spa treatment). My foster mom says I’m healing beautifully and looking more fabulous every day. We are trying to avoid allergy meds because they are toxic but if it is a must then we will!

What I’m Looking For

I just want a home that will love me for the long haul — through the itchy days, the cuddly nights, and the ball-chasing chaos in between. I’m starting over, and I know this time it’s going to be forever.

So, if you’re looking for a loyal snuggle bug with a heart of gold (and a personality that belongs on reality TV), come meet me. I promise I’ll make you laugh, fill your heart, and maybe steal your snacks. Apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org, I am located in Tempe, AZ and have been spay vaccinated and microchipped from last time. Also my adoption donation fee is $1050.00.

  HI, I’M DIAMOND – YOUR BRINDLE BEAUTY WITH A HEART OF GOLD 

Hey there! I’m Diamond, and my story didn’t start out so shiny — I was posted online as a “found” dog, but the truth was, I had been used for breeding and was about to be dumped. Luckily, someone special stepped in, paid the $150 that saved my life, and now I’m officially part of the Freedom Squad! I’m so happy they stepped up and paid, from what I know New Hope partners pay adoption fees at shelters so same difference.

My Personality

I’m a gentle girl with the sweetest soul. I’m still learning what it means to just be a dog, but I’m getting the hang of it thanks to my best friend, Lola. I follow her everywhere — she’s my teacher, my shadow, and my confidence booster! I didn’t know how to play at first, but now I’ve started joining in, and sometimes Lola just chews on my leg… I don’t mind though — that’s her way of saying she loves me. 

I love sunbathing, exploring the yard, and watching the world go by. I’m not super clingy or a Velcro dog — I like to do my own thing sometimes — but I’ll always be nearby keeping you company in my quiet, sweet way.

My Home Habits

I’m completely potty trained and know how to use the doggie door (yep, I’m that smart!). I also love my crate — it’s my safe spot where I nap and relax, even when the door’s open. My foster mom says I’m an angel because I don’t wander, I listen really well, and I correct easily if told no.

Oh, and I should mention… I’m a total foodie.  Sweet potatoes are my favorite!

Health:

When I came to the rescue, I was a bit constipated and had to have an enema that took a few days but I am must better now and pooping on the reg!! I do not have any other major medical issues, and my foster mom keeps me on a healthy diet! The first day I was spay,  I was a bit high and fell over so I had to take it easy for a few days but have recovered really well. Of course, I had an abnormal uterus from all the puppies that came out of me, not anymore!! No more babies!!

My Dream Home

I’d really love a home with another dog (I’m still learning to dog)— I feel most confident around them and they help me come out of my shell. I don’t need constant attention, just love, patience, and a comfy spot in the sun. I promise to fill your home with calm energy, quiet loyalty, and a whole lot of heart.

I am 3 years old and 26lbs, have been vaccinated, spay and microchipped, and my adoption donation fee is $1000.00. I am currently being fostered in Mesa, AZ you can apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org

*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.

    Blondie Finally Here! 1.5 years old – resilient, radiant, and ready for her forever.

Hi, I’m Blondie, and let me tell you — I’ve been through the itch and back! When I first came to the Freedom Squad, I was completely covered in mange. My skin was raw, infected, and I scratched until I couldn’t anymore. I was miserable… but this rescue never gave up on me. 

Every single day for a month, I had a medicated bath. Yep — every day! If we skipped one, I’d start scratching my booty on anything I could find — walls, carpets, crates, you name it. But slowly, with antibiotics, steroids, and love, my skin began to heal. It’s still a work in progress (I’m what they call a “labor of love”), but I finally feel like me again. These days, when my foster mom says, “Come on, Blondie, let’s take a bath,” I run straight to the bathroom! I love my baths and I absolutely adore my post-bath fashion show — putting on my shirt or dress is my favorite part! 

Personality

I’m sweet, calm, and endlessly loving. There’s not an aggressive bone in my little Frenchie body. At first, I’d playfully nip another dog’s ear just to say “hey, I’m here,” but I’ve learned my manners and now I’m a total pack player! I roll with my crew every day — we tug-of-war, bark at each other, and play until nap time. My favorite toy? My Bam Bones — you’ll need a few of those around for sure!

I listen beautifully, know basic commands, and I’m mostly potty trained (learning the doggie door now!). I’m gentle when it’s time to eat — I just sit and look up at you with my big, grateful eyes. If I want attention, I’ll politely paw at you — mostly for belly rubs and scratchies because, well, I’m still a little itchy sometimes.

Medical & Care

My allergies are going to be a lifelong commitment, and I need a family that understands that and is willing to maintain my routine care. I’ll always need regular medicated baths, high-quality food that supports my skin, and daily supplements. The rescue started me on Frenchies Versus Everybody mushroom powder, and it’s been a game changer — my skin is calmer, and I feel better overall! A good probiotic will also always be essential for keeping my tummy and immune system balanced.

I take Zenrilla daily for my allergies, get regular baths with chlorhexidine shampoo, and my tail pocket needs to be cleaned often to prevent irritation. My foster mom says I’m a dream during spa days — I actually run to the bathroom when it’s bath time!

Ideal Home

I’d love a home with structure, kindness, and people who understand that healing takes time. I get along great with other dogs, enjoy doing my own thing sometimes, and absolutely melt for affection. My rescuers say if they had a big property, they’d never let me go — that’s how special I am.

I need a family who will stay consistent with my care — my baths, my supplements, my food — because that’s what keeps me feeling my best. In return, I’ll give you endless love, laughter, and loyalty.

Out of over 400 rescues, I’ve been called one of the most grateful and well-behaved souls to ever walk through Freedom Frenchie Rescue’s doors. I’m Blondie — a survivor, a sweetheart, and someone’s forever love. 

Blondie is vaccinated, spay and microchipped, and my adoption donation fee is $1000.00. She is currently being fostered in Mesa, AZ you can apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org

    Hi Everyone, I’m Mags! 

Lilac tan point beauty • Around 3 years old • Survivor • Professional Cuddle Bug

My Rescue Story

Hello beautiful people… it’s me, Mags!

I caught a ride with the Freedom Squad when they came to pick up Wembley from Riverside County Shelter. I was found as a stray out in the desert — skinny, scared, and so bloated that Mo actually thought I was pregnant when she saw me. Spoiler alert: I was not. I was just full of stress, gas, and trauma.

The first night out of the shelter?

Oh. My. Gosh. I farted nonstop and pooped out EVERYTHING I’d been holding in. I left Mo four giant piles by morning… and she just smiled at me and said, “I bet you feel better.” And guess what? I DID. I felt like a brand-new girl. I even gave her kisses to say thank you.

My Food Journey (aka: I Finally Feel Safe)

I’m still a little skinny, but I’m gaining weight beautifully now that I’m actually being fed consistently. At first, I scarfed down my food like my life depended on it because… honestly? It used to.

Now I’m learning:

Breakfast Dinner 

Snacks sometimes 

Humans who feed you every day 

Mo gives me extra food twice a day until I understood the schedule, and now I eat from a slow feeder so I don’t inhale it too fast.

My diet:

Fish-based kibble

Raw salmon topper

Pure deliciousness

10/10 would recommend

My Personality

I am a VERY good girl. Like, gold-star student good.

• My      potty training is almost perfect.
• I’ve      only had a few accidents.
• I may      have a couple during my transition to a new home — totally normal — but I      learn fast!

Sometimes Mo lets me sleep with her and I crash out SO hard that I don’t move until morning. Sleep is my love language.

I get SO excited to go outside with her, but I do have one little fear: I’m scared she’s going to leave me. I was abandoned once, and it shows.

One time I squeezed through the patio bars just to be next to her again. Now she sits outside with me so I feel more confident. That’s all I need — someone who stays with me while I learn I’m safe.

My Friends & Social Life

I REALLY love Tyke — she’s been showing me the ropes and making me feel at home. I like being around other dogs and I’m not aggressive at all. I’m actually pretty easygoing:

• You      want the toy I’m playing with? Take it.
• Want      the comfy bed? Go ahead.
• Want      to share space with me? Yes, please.

I prefer good company over drama. I’ve had enough of that in my past life.

My Health

The doctor says I’m overall healthy — I just need to keep building my weight evenly and eat my special diet to keep my tummy happy. No big issues, just healing and growing.

My Past/Strength

Based on my body condition and the way I was found, it’s clear I was used for breeding over and over and then dumped in a field when they were done with me.

But I’m not letting that define me. I’m gentle. I’m kind. I want love and safety more than anything.

And being a lilac tan point with Isabella shading — honestly, I can’t believe nobody wanted me anymore. But Freedom Frenchie Rescue did… and now I’m ready for someone who will never throw me away again.

My Perfect Home

I would do great in a home that offers:

• Structure      and consistency
• A      gentle, loving human
• Other      dogs who are kind and calm
• Safety
• Patience      as I learn I’ll never be abandoned again

If you give me love and security, I will give you loyalty, gratitude, and affection every single day.

Love, Mags

PS. If you’re looking for a soft, sweet, grateful girl who’s survived the worst and still believes in love… I’m your girl.

Mags is vaccinated, microchipped, and spay, her adoption donation fee is $1050.00. She is currently being fostered in Mesa, AZ you can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org

The Ultimate Adventure Buddy & Cuddle Companion! 

Boba 2 year old and weights 27-pound French Bulldog with a heart as big as his journey. Found as a stray in Southern California, he came into rescue with a prolapsed rectum that required multiple surgeries. After two unsuccessful purse string procedures, he underwent a more invasive surgery to secure his rectum to his stomach wall. Despite everything he’s been through, Boba remains an incredibly sweet, affectionate, and resilient little guy. 

Personality Perks: This handsome boy has a playful, gentle nature and enjoys romping around with his foster sibling. When Boba gets excited, he hops like a bunny off his back legs, it is to cute! He generally gets along well with females and some males, but if challenged, he will stand his ground and it is not pretty. Disagreements are rare and typically revolve around food, attention, or toys, so structured mealtimes and supervision will help set him up for success. With time, patience, and guidance, Boba continues to show excellent progress in his interactions. His ultimate perk is chasing lizards, he will watch the wall and scan every section thinking he will get a lizard! Boba is full time entertainment

Training Quirks: Boba is also quite the well-mannered pup! He knows basic commands, including “sit” and “wait” for treats, and he’s very patient in his crate. His house training is improving, but due to his medical history, controlling his bowels has been a challenge. Thankfully, with a carefully managed diet, he’s making great strides and having no accidents. Consistence in his nutrition will be key to his long-term success. Must watch him poop and distract him immediately when the turd drops. Do not let him eat it he will go backwards on thousands we have spent on him to get healthy.

Companion Love: When it comes to companionship, Boba is the full package. He has the perfect balance of playful energy and laid-back cuddles. He loves hard chew toys, with yak and bam bones being his absolute favorite. Boba needs a leader, he likes to work because he has big energy. He also likes to sleep and cuddle. This dude makes an excellent travel companion—once settled in the car, he prefers to take a cozy nap. Whether it’s a hiking trip in cool weather, a weekend camping getaway, or a stroll through a local farmers’ market, Boba is always up for an adventure. Home 

Medical Endeavors: Boba has been through quite the medical issues dealing with his prolapse. He has had two purse string surgeries that were not successful. Our next step was Colpopexy surgery, it was successful but only for a few weeks and his rectum came out again. With his original prolapse his rectum was 8.5in (that is unheard of). We have been to the vet several times and have had several discussions with our primary and our specialist. Boba's issue is that he is straining he is straining every time he goes to the bathroom. We have tried calming meds but it does not help and they make him aggressive. We are trying one last medication to see if that helps him stop straining. While he is going #2 we are distracting him from straining but it is not always working. His rectum comes out but it goes right back in within a few minutes.  This might have to be something he lives with, we are revisiting the vet in 2 weeks (middle of June) to see if the new medication is helping him.   It does not hurt him he has no idea it is happening and keeps going about his lizard chasing. We just did a gut biome test on him and everything came back great!!! Every time we think we are in the clear we are not but no one has applied for him so we just keep his profile up in the hopes that someone will be understanding about his medical and be willing to take this on. UPDATE: 7/22/25. Boba has successfully kept his rectum in for the last 4 days! The new calming meds are working and we have him on a very bland diet adding fiber one cereal to his meal. We are all hoping this will continue until he mentally knows he does not have to strain and be in crouching position anymore. He is not aggressive to any other dogs but he has only been with 5 of our submissive dogs. He literally lets Twig jump on him!!! Maybe he knows Twig is little or he is tired of being a tough guy. 

Needs: Boba’s ideal home will be one that understands his medical needs and is committed to maintaining his specialized diet. He would do better as an only dog or with a compatible canine companion (a dog that plays with him but lets him lead and is smaller then him), given proper introductions and time to adjust. Following the 333 rule—giving him time to decompress in a new environment—will help him transition smoothly. This incredible boy has overcome so much and is now ready to find a forever home that will cherish him for the amazing dog he is. 

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and adventurous best friend, Boba is waiting for you! He is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption donation fee is $1000.00. You can apply for Boba at freedomfrenchierescue.org, and check out the adoption process as well.

  Meet Philly – The Quiet Soul with a Gentle Spirit

Philly joined the Freedom Frenchie Rescue squad from the Arizona Humane Society after being surrendered under a cloudy and unclear backstory. The previous owner never responded when the shelter reached out, and he was brought in by someone claiming to be a “trainer.” Sadly, it’s clear from his trembling, avoidant body language that Philly likely endured abuse and fear-based training. But here, with us, his healing journey has begun.

Personality:

Philly is about 4.5 years old and weighs around 22–24 pounds. He’s timid, quiet, and gentle for the most part. He will throw a warning growl so that just means back off and let him do his thing.  His foster family has been giving him the one thing he’s probably never had—freedom to just exist without fear, without demands, and without harsh consequences. We don’t force him into anything. Instead, we let him come to us on his own terms—and he does. Slowly but surely, Philly’s tail has started to slightly wag. He’s learning that love is safe, treats are allowed, and toys aren’t scary. He still takes his time trusting new things, but when he decides you’re his person, you’ll have a little Frenchie shadow pop up throughout the day here and there to say hi.

Philly has done well so far with other dogs in the home, though he doesn’t seek out play. We slowly introduced him over a few weeks time to the other dogs. He’s content coexisting peacefully minding his own business. He might sniff a butt here and there but that’s about it. As for cats, we honestly think he doesn’t notice—or doesn’t care. He prefers calm energy, so a household without young children is a must. We will only place him in a home with kids aged 15+ who can respect his space and read his subtle cues. He is already potty trained, though it’s likely it came from fear-based discipline. We ultimately prefer him with no kids but he does well with foster moms teenagers (they are also around rescues all day).

Training:

We are keeping his training to a minimum or mostly nothing because we do not want him to go backwards and live in fear. Philly is a “free feeder.” He doesn’t gobble his food at mealtimes—instead, we leave his bowl in his crate and let him eat when he feels comfortable. His crate is his safe space, and we honor that. He walks well on a leash, though he tends to pull—like he’s still trying to escape whatever darkness is behind him. But with each walk, each meal, and each gentle moment, Philly is learning: he is safe now.

This guy has so much potential to be a lover—he just needs the right super calm, patient family to continue to bring that out of him. A home that understands that healing takes time, that trust is earned, and that the most meaningful bonds are the ones built slowly and with care.

Medical champ:

Medically, Philly is doing well and handled the vet visit like a champ. He shows no aggression, no resource guarding—except for one thing: his human. Once he’s bonded with you, he’s all in. He’s stubborn like many bulldogs (don’t expect him to come when he’s busy sniffing something extremely important), but that just makes him more endearing.

Foster pupdate:

Philly is an amazing little guy. He loves attention but if my son is near me and he is sitting in front of me he is guarded and will growl but has never once tried to bite any of us. We just let him do his own thing and he is really coming out of his shell. I was gone for a few days and at that point he stuck to my son like glue and was protective of him. Phill was definitely abused, he likes quiet places, under the bed in a corner somewhere away from the chaos. I know that in time he will learn that love is real and adjust to a new loving family. 

If you’re ready to offer a safe haven and a gentle heart, Philly will meet you halfway—and in time, he’ll show you just how much love he’s been waiting to give.

Philly is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, you can apply for him on freedomfrenchierescue.org. He is located in Phoenix, AZ and his adoption donation fee is $1025.00.

  Meet Cheech — The Ball King with a Big Personality!

After a long road to recovery and his much-needed TECA surgery, Cheech has officially made it to our Adoption Page! This young Frenchie has been through so much, yet his spirit (and his love for balls) never wavered.

Personality & Quirks

Cheech lives for his ball — but not fetch! He prefers to play with it his way, making hilarious Frenchie noises that his foster calls “gremlin mode.” He’s a one-dog comedy show, entertaining himself for hours with his giant blue Jolly Ball (which he proudly guards like treasure). He and his foster brother, Louie, have an incredible bond and play beautifully together — Louie learned early on not to mess with Cheech’s prized ball! That has teaken time and patience with his foster family. 

Special Traits

Cheech is deaf, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit. His foster mom has found that clapping or shaking a maraca is the perfect way to grab his attention. Like most Frenchies, he’s loud in the best way — from snoring to farting to barking and screeching, Cheech’s soundtrack is pure Frenchie charm. 

Training & Behavior

Cheech is mostly potty trained and fully understands the doggie door. He’s been working hard on learning that sharing is caring, especially when it comes to toys, and he’s very good about communicating his boundaries, but other dogs may not see it that way. Being so completely obsessed with the ball Cheech will guard it, do not put your hand there to grab it. Foster mom has been distracting him with other items or treats to drop the ball so she can grab it. As for children, we would say over 13 and they know how toys and dogs go together. 

No Cats, Please!

Cheech does not do well with cats. He’ll bark and go absolutely wild if he even sees one through the dog gate, so a feline-free home is a must.

Medical Notes

Though still young, Cheech required bilateral TECA surgery to resolve chronic ear pain — and he’s thriving post-surgery! (if you are unsure of TECA surgery please do the research) He does have allergies, currently managed with Zenrelia, which helps prevent the paw licking and abscesses he develops without it. We hope to taper him off someday, but consistent allergy care will likely remain part of his routine.

Ideal Home

Cheech is looking for an active family that can keep up with his energy, humor, and “ball but not fetch” lifestyle. He’ll thrive in a home where playtime, laughter, and patience are part of the daily routine. Please keep in mind how one family lets a dog be in their home doesn’t mean you will allow that in yours. He needs a leader and structure, Cheech is young and he aims to please. 

Ready to Meet Cheech?

Apply to adopt this one-of-a-kind, ball-obsessed goofball today at FreedomFrenchieRescue.org — and get ready to fall in love with every snort, screech, and silly face. Cheech is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, his adoption donation fee is $1050.00 and he is located in Tempe, AZ.

  Hi, I’m Boone — Your High-Energy, Lilac-Brindle Frat Boy!

Hey everyone, I’m 2.5 years old and my name is, Boone the firecracker! I joined the Freedom Squad from Riverside County Shelter after they asked for help because of my eye situation. Turns out I had this crazy dermoid mass growing on and inside my eye — with actual hair follicles in it!  Yeah, wild, right?

Personality/Energy:

I’ve got energy for days. When I come out of the crate, I don’t walk — I launch like the 4th of July. (Apparently, I can almost soar over three-foot gates.) My foster mom says I’ve got “serious bounce, like Michael Jordan.” 2…3…BABY!! Idk she is nuts for us frenchies or Whatever you call us, I’m fast, athletic, and love attention — maybe a little too much!......

Medical Journey:

The awesome Freedom Frenchie team got my eye all fixed up with surgery, and they stitched me up real nice. They scrapped the dermoid off my eye BALL with some special razor, the doc was super proud because he ordered them just for my eyeball. Let me tell you he was a bit nervous but he is literally the best freaking vet!!! All the techs were cheering after but I was high so I could have been dreaming. From what I know this surgery is not an easy one.  But three days before I was supposed to get those stitches out, I decided that whole “cone life” wasn’t for me. I chewed that thing off, popped a stitch, and boom — back to the vet I went. Two days later, I got another surgery to close it up properly. What can I say? I’m a man of action! 

Potty training and manners….

Now about this whole potty-training thing… we’re working on it, I promise. I drink a ton of water, so yeah, sometimes I don’t quite make it in time. My foster mom even caught me peeing right as she opened the crate — I think I was just making a statement because she was taking too long. I know there are others in the house and not everyone can hang out together because some like to start shit but COME ON, you know how much water I drink!!! Anyway, I am leaning patience and now I am the line leader and get to go first! Gold star for me jerks!

I’m heading to a new foster home now (so we will keep my profile updated) with some doggie friends and a rockstar foster mom who’s gonna help me channel all this energy into manners and structure. Because when I finally settle, I crash hard and become the best cuddle bug you could ask for.

I know basic commands, take treats gently, and I’m learning to share toys (even though, let’s be real, I think everything is mine). My eye is still healing, and it’ll always look a little different, but yep — I can totally see out of it!

I’m a lilac brindle powerhouse, built like an athlete, and ready for a forever home that’s active, fun, and full of love. If you’re always on the go, I’m your guy. When you crash, I’ll crash too. It will take a me a bit to transition into a new home with new stupid rules but that’s fine anywhere is better then being a stray!

In true Frenchie fashion, I’m stubborn, hilarious, a little chaotic, and completely unforgettable. So, if you’re looking for a total frat boy with a heart of gold, that’s me — Boone!

Boone is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, his adoption donation fee is $1050.00. He is currently being fostered in Mesa, AZ and you can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org.

  Hi, I’m Wembley- I have that bounce on happiness everyone needs

I’m 1.5 years old, full of sunshine, and ready to make you smile every single day.

My Story

Hey everyone! I’m Wembley — yes, like the stadium, because I’m kind of a big deal. A nice lady at the Los Angeles shelter sent out a rescue plea with videos of me looking like a hot mess express, and the Freedom Squad said, “Yep… that one is ours.” My foster in California pulled me right away, and my whole life changed in a heartbeat.

My Personality

Okay, listen… I am three sunrises worth of happiness. Seriously. I wake up happy, I bounce happy, I play happy, I nap happy. If you want a dog with good vibes only — that’s literally me.

I don’t have a single mean bone in my body. I submit easily, I just want to be everyone’s friend, and I live for fun. I bounce around like a bunny, wiggle with excitement, and I think life is the greatest thing ever invented.

My foster mom says I remind her of Chris Farley — goofy, hilarious, full of life, and impossible not to love. I even get along with Boba, which apparently is impressive!

My Quirks (the cute kind)

I came in with a little stuffy-humping hobby, so they got me a giant lamb chop. Listen… I felt things. I’ve since been neutered and my hormones are chillin’ out. I still like having my stuffy in my crate — it’s emotional support, okay?? I like a blanket in my crate so I can scratch it up and make my perfect cozy nest. At my photo shoot, I heard music and I tilted my head back and forth like a tiny dog DJ. I like a good beat, what can I say?

My Medical Stuff (easy & manageable!)

I’ve got a little wobble in my back legs. The vets took X-rays and found that some of the vertebrae closer to my neck are shaped a little funky. That’s genetic, not surgical. It doesn’t stop me from playing, jumping, or bouncing like a maniac — I just move like I’m vibing to music 24/7.

I need to build up some muscle in my back legs because I was kept in a crate a lot before rescue. Now I’m making gains — slow, gentle exercise but not too much.

Here’s what you should know:

· I am not paralyzed.

· I am not incontinent.

· I just have a little sway, and honestly… it’s kinda cute.

· I may benefit from a chiropractor (FFR has a great one if you’re in Arizona!).

· I’m on 10 days of prednisone to help calm any inflammation.

This stuff doesn’t hold me back — not even a little bit.

Grooming Glow-Up

My hair was falling out everywhere when I arrived… like, everywhere. After a grooming appointment, I came out looking like a totally different man. I need monthly grooming to keep my cute little cookie-cutter boy fuzz fresh and fabulous.

Potty Training

I’m working on it! I was used to going where I slept, so the rescue is helping me learn the whole “go outside” thing. Frequent potty breaks, clean mats, and lots of praise help me a ton.

I don’t know how to use the doggy door yet — but in my defense, theirs sits a little high.

My Perfect Home

If you want:

A dog that makes you laugh every single day

A buddy who NEVER has a bad mood

A best friend who’s grateful for every minute of life

A sweet, loving, goofy boy who’s always excited to see you

…then I’m your guy.

I cuddle. I bounce. I play. I make funny faces. I bring sunshine where it didn’t exist before. I am pure joy with four legs.

My Final Pitch

Please don’t be scared to take on a dog like me. I’m easy to manage, I’m unbelievably kind, and I’ll brighten your whole world.

If you adopt me, I promise you this:

You will never have a sad day again.

Love,

Wembley
