Welcome to Freedom Frenchie Rescue Adoptables.

    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.

   Hi, I’m Cutie - Yes… that’s really my name—and trust me, it fits.

How I Got My Name

So here’s the deal: I was found at the QT, and the rescue posted me everywhere hoping someone would come forward and say, “That’s my dog.” They waited two full months to see if anyone had lost me… but no one ever did. Honestly? It’s probably for the best—because whatever my life was before this was fucking terrible. Being overlooked turned out to be the thing that saved me. From there, I landed at FFR, started my glow-up, and officially became Cutie—because after everything I’ve been through, softness finally found me.

The Real Me

I’m 3 years old and 23 lbs of pure snuggle energy. When I first came into rescue, I was terrified. I would crouch down when people approached, unsure if love was coming or not. Fast-forward a couple months and now? I jump up when I see you—because I KNOW affection is waiting on the other side. Love changed everything for me.

Cuddle Queen Status

Let’s get one thing straight: I am a professional couch potato with a PhD in snuggling. I’m potty trained, crate trained (though I will 100% choose your bed if given the option), and I firmly believe blankets and pillows are non-negotiable life essentials. I roll over instantly for belly rubs, never say no to a treat, and I take my cuddle responsibilities very seriously.

Playtime & Friends

I love toys—especially Nylabones—and I adore playing with my foster sibling Violet, who is just a teeny tiny baby. I’m gentle, playful, and sweet with other dogs. Basically, I’m the fun aunt who also wants to nap immediately after.

My Health & Care

I came in with a serious ear infection, but good news—it’s cleared up! That said, my ears will need to be cleaned twice a week, no skipping allowed. It’s an absolute must for me to stay comfortable and healthy.

I also struggle with yeast and allergies, but don’t worry—we’ve got them under control now. I’m on allergy meds and a prescription diet, and WOW has it made a difference. I’m feeling better every day.

Oh—and yes, I have crate feet (I go full gremlin paws in the crate, not my fault I lived in one…), but those will improve with time and confidence.

Foster Life Commentary

I love my foster dad, beg him for food regularly, and attempt to manage my foster mom’s job… though I usually fall asleep before I can clock in. Turns out, supervising humans is exhausting.

My Perfect Home

I never knew what “spoiled” meant before rescue—but now I do, and I’m ready to keep living that life. I’m looking for a family who understands routines, keeps up with my ear care and diet, and wants a loyal, affectionate, slightly bossy cuddle companion.

If you’re searching for a dog who will make your house feel like home, warm your heart, and steal your blankets—

I’m your girl. 

Forever & Always

  Yogurt Here - Best Ears in the Game • Soft Soul • Sorority Barbie With a Healing Heart 

Hi. It’s me. Yogurt. I know… weird name. Iconic, though. I’m two years old, about 23 pounds, and I have the literal best ears you’ve ever seen. Like… truly. Show-stopping. Legendary, Slap some bows on them and tell me they aren’t… But if you really look into my eyes, you’ll see something deeper than just a pretty face. You’ll see a girl who has felt loss and loneliness. I’m a girl who has been left. A girl who is still learning that humans can be safe and that love can stay. I’m beautiful, but I’m also emotionally healing myself with the help of Freedom Frenchie Rescue and my foster mom.

My Story (The Part That Shaped Me)

I was found alone in the desert in Palmdale. When the people who found me took me to get scanned, I had a microchip. My people were contacted and they didn’t want me back. Were they really my people? Were they the ones who dumped me? We don’t know. What we do know is that being left changes a dog. It leaves cracks. It leaves questions. It leaves insecurity. Freedom Frenchie Rescue was contacted, and they said yes to me when others didn’t. And now I’m here. Learning. Growing. Trying.

My Personality (Soft Heart, Spicy Edges)

I am what you might call a sorority Barbie mean girl in recovery. I can be sweet, I can be cuddly, I can be hilarious, and I can also be a bossy. I’m not the kind of dog who instantly wants to be besties with other dogs. I may be able to live with another dog and coexist, but I need a very specific type of dog friend — one who truly does not care that I exist. Low-key. Unbothered. Neutral energy. That will leave me alone. If you want a dog for your dog to be friends with, go to the next profile. When dogs run around playing near me, I sometimes feel the need to insert myself in a negative way, even though I don’t actually want the toy or the game. I just want control of the situation. Like just let me BOSS.  It’s something my rescue and foster family are actively working on with me through slow introductions, structure, socializing and training. I am not a lost cause. I am not broken. I am insecure. And insecure dogs need patience, leadership, and consistency. With the right home and the right human, I truly believe I’m going to become an incredible dog.

My Ideal Home

I would do best as an only dog or with a very neutral, calm dog who could not care less that I exist. Only apply for me if your current pet truly ignores other dogs or if you don’t have pets at all, as we are actively working through some training needs and will continue to update my profile as I progress. Cats are a hard no for me. I’m just not a fan. Kids are a big YES. I love kids and do wonderfully with them. I mean that drop snacks and let me lick their face, plus the cuddle factor is always there!

My Good Girl Qualities

I take treats very gently and walk amazingly on leash like I’m on a mission. I love car rides, I love walks, I like meeting people, and I get excited when you come home. I love naps on your lap or curled up on my favorite couch pillow. I’m pretty much potty trained. I had a few accidents when I first arrived, but once I settled in, I’ve been doing great. I had a slower emotional transition than most. In the beginning I barely ate, tipped my bowl over, and struggled with change. Now I eat at mealtimes and feel much more stable. Progress, baby.

My Medical Stuff

I’m medically sound and overall healthy. I do have some minor allergies, and we’re currently managing them through diet instead of relying on daily allergy medication. I’m on a lamb-based diet and doing really well. The paw licking has almost stopped, which is a huge win. Keep my face clean please, I mean I am all white and tear stains are unbecoming and itchy!

A Note From Me

I am not for everyone. And that’s okay. I am for someone who understands that when trust is built, behavior changes. When trust is built, confidence grows. When trust is built, we both win. I have so much potential. I am going to blossom. I just need someone willing to give me a chance. If you’re looking for a beautiful, complex, funny, cuddly, snack-loving, healing soul who will love you hard once she knows you’re not going anywhere… And I’m ready to try.

  Hi, I’m Joyce — Still Figuring This Whole “Dog Life” Thing Out

Hi friends… my name is Joyce. I’m about 2 years old, weigh 27 pounds, and I came to Freedom Frenchie Rescue as part of a breeder release. There were 11 of us that came in together. Yea you prob know the Stranger Things crew!  Before rescue, life was very different, so now I’m learning what it means to be a real dog — the kind that gets love, treats, toys, and a family. I’m a little shy at first, but inside of me there is a whole lot of personality just waiting to cross the finish line.

My Personality

I’m still finding my way, but every day I get braver. When someone walks through the door I get SO excited because I love meeting new people. Sometimes I can’t help but jump around because my little body is full of happiness I’m still learning how to control. I might start out timid, but once I feel safe you’ll see my spunky side start to come out. I am a fluff ball! Like seriously! Round fluffy excited lover! Have you seen my tail? Well that’s the cutest part about me, some of the other girls have tail envy! Hope you like Peter Rabbit haha!

I’m Definitely a Pack Girl

I really love being around other dogs. They help me understand how to do things — like play, explore, and just relax. My friend Darla has been trying to teach me how to “dog,” and I follow her around learning the ropes.

I’m not quite playing with toys on my own yet, but I do like joining in when the other dogs get excited. Having dog friends makes me feel safe and brave. One thing I discovered that I absolutely LOVE is water. Baby pools are my favorite thing ever. I’ll stretch out and lay right in the water to cool off and relax. It feels so good, especially on warm days.

Food, Treats & Learning New Things

Meal time is easy for me. I eat from my own bowl like a good girl and don’t worry about anyone else’s food. When I first got here, treats were confusing. I didn’t really know what they were, so I was nervous to take them. But now? Oh yeah… I love treats and I don’t hesitate anymore. I’m also doing really well with potty training and use the doggy door like a pro.

My Safe Space

Crates actually make me feel comfortable; I lived in one for a long time. That big world out there is scary!  Having a cozy enclosed space helps me relax while I keep building my confidence and learning that the world is safe. I am getting better every day! My foster dad takes me out and I am learning how to walk on a leash, most of the time I just follow the other doggies! Every day I feel a little more brave than the day before.

Medically Healthy

I did have an ear infection, and the rescue started me on ear drops and meds right away! I was just digging and digging at them. I feel so much better now and guess what there is nothing else wrong!! I even had heartworm testing done because the last time the rescue saved some of my friends 2 came back with a positive test. I am good to go!

The Kind of Home I Dream About

I would love a home with other friendly dogs because I really thrive when I have a pack around me. They help me learn and give me confidence. My new family just needs to be patient and loving while I keep growing into the amazing dog I’m meant to be.

Just Wait Until I Cross That Finish Line

Right now I’m a little shy, a little cautious… but my happy, playful personality is right there waiting. Each day I get closer to that finish line where all the confidence, joy, and love inside me finally gets to shine.

And when it does… I promise I’m going to be pretty amazing.

   Meet KALI (K-A-L-I) 

Kali is another beautiful soul from the breeder release group of 11 that recently joined Freedom Frenchie Rescue. She may be new to this big world, but she is already showing everyone just how special she is. The moment you look at her, her hips start swaying. It’s almost like her little defense mechanism — a sweet, nervous wiggle that says, “Hi… I’m trying.” 

The Hip-Swaying Welcome

 Kali has the most unique way of greeting people. She slowly creeps over to you in what her foster mom calls an army crawl, swaying those hips the entire way, and then gently curls herself right into your lap. It’s her way of asking for comfort and connection. Kali is incredibly sweet and affectionate, and once she feels safe, she absolutely melts into the people she trusts.

 When Kali Gets Nervous

 Because Kali came from a breeder environment, the world is still very new and sometimes overwhelming. When she gets nervous, she will do what her foster calls a panic pant, and she really needs a little quiet time to decompress and settle her emotions. Giving her space when she needs it helps her reset and feel safe again. 

Learning From Other Dogs

 Kali is still figuring out how to play with other dogs, but she truly enjoys their company and learns a lot from them. Having other dogs around helps build her confidence. Sometimes when the other dogs are playing and things get a little rowdy, Kali will walk over and stand above them like she thinks a fight might break out. She’s not aggressive — she just seems to go into protect mode, like a mom keeping an eye on things. When redirected, she simply looks at her foster mom, starts swaying those hips again, and makes her way back over.

 A Natural Mama 

You can definitely tell Kali was once a mom. She carries herself with a watchful, protective energy, but never in an aggressive way. It’s more like she’s quietly supervising the room. Once she relaxes and lets her shoulders drop, she really begins to enjoy herself and will run around the yard with the other dogs. 

Queen of the Baby Pool 

One of Kali’s absolute favorite things is the baby pool. She doesn’t just hop in — she launches herself in and then slowly lowers her body down, cooling off her belly like she’s at a spa day. Afterward she stretches out into the longest little Frenchie yoga stretch, completely relaxed and enjoying the moment. Her Safe Spaces Kali sometimes likes to tuck herself under tables where she feels cozy and secure. She doesn’t mind her crate, although getting her in and out of it can be a little tricky — which is very common for dogs coming from breeder or puppy mill environments. She’s still learning that crates and homes are safe spaces now. 

The Eating Situation

 Kali is not a big eater right now. Her foster family has tried many different foods, and what seems to work best is adding ground turkey to her kibble. Even then, she may not eat twice a day consistently for a while. Her appetite will likely improve as she continues gaining confidence and settling into a normal routine. 

Discovering Cuddles 

One of Kali’s favorite discoveries in her new life is cuddling. She loves it — probably because she never had it before. Human affection is something she’s learning to enjoy more and more each day. But cuddles alone aren’t enough to build her confidence. Kali does best with structure, consistency, and a predictable routine that helps her understand the world around her. 

Potty Training Progress

 Kali has been doing very well with potty training. She hasn’t had any accidents in her crate and goes outside consistently. She hasn’t shown clear signals yet when she needs to go, but since the door is often open for the dogs to go outside, she has been doing great with the routine. The Big World is Still Big Kali does okay on a leash, but the outside world is still a little intimidating. That’s perfectly okay. Confidence comes with time, patience, and gentle exposure. She is a sensitive girl who will blossom with the right guidance and encouragement. 

Medical Update Kali 

is spayed and recovered beautifully from her surgery — although she definitely wanted to jump right into the baby pool immediately afterward! (Sorry Kali, the doctor said a few more days.) At her veterinary exam she did very well and does not show any signs of underlying medical issues. 

Kali’s Ideal Home

 Kali would do best in a home that understands she is still learning how to be a dog in the real world. A calm environment, a predictable routine, and possibly another confident dog to help guide her would help her continue building confidence. She may be nervous at times, but she is incredibly loving and eager to connect with her people.

 A Gentle Soul Finding Her Way 

Kali is one of the many beautiful dogs from this breeder release who is just beginning to discover what life can be like outside of a kennel. She’s sensitive, sweet, a little unsure, and full of potential. With patience and love, Kali will continue growing into the confident, joyful dog she was always meant to be. And if you look closely… you might even catch those hips swaying your way.

 Kali is vaccinated, spay and microchipped and her adoption donation fee is $1250.00. She is being fostered in Mesa, AZ and 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. We just did a gut biome test on him and everything came back great!!! 

Update: Boba has successfully kept in his rectum and is doing wonderfully. For awhile no eye can be taken off him while he is outside going potty.

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.

*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.

    Food, snacks, love, trash cans...oh 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.

    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

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 Wrigley- Heartbroken Return (read my profile)

 My Love Story Began on the Freeway Be mine? I’m Leroy Wrigley, two years old, a bulldog with a big heart, big feelings, and a love story that didn’t start out easy. I came from the 5 Freeway and the Orange County Shelter, where I was labeled “not adoptable” because no one could safely touch me. Not a single Cupid could get close. Freedom Frenchie Rescue stepped in anyway, sending a full rescue team to scoop my dramatic bulldog booty, get me safely to San Diego, and then all the way to Arizona, where my real transformation began. 

Learning to Trust (and Fall in Love) 

When I arrived at Mo’s house, I was finally given the time and space to decompress. I had my own cozy area, soft blankets, gentle voices, and regular meals. I learned what “potty outside” meant, started to feel safe, and slowly realized that humans weren’t as scary as I once believed. The “don’t touch me” Grinch in me softened, and little by little, love started to replace fear. I was adotped 2 weeks ago and now I am being returned.. I smell fear in people Its better to ignore me until you figure me out. Yea I know its the opposite but when you ignore me I want more love and I listen way better to get that! 333 rule needs to be applied with me I have to have time to decompress and transition. I do not live in this fast-paced world humans do. When I started at Mo’s she did 555. 

My Signature Wobble & Ongoing Care

 I have a very distinctive walk—one I proudly call my signature wobble. Like many English Bulldogs, I have hip dysplasia, but mine is a little extra spicy. My hip sockets didn’t form correctly, which gives me a hip-hoppin’, wiggly strut that turns heads wherever I go. Freedom Frenchie Rescue took new X-rays and confirmed that I’ll need physical therapy in my future, along with good supplements and maintaining a healthy weight. I came in underweight at first, but with the right meds, care, and love, I’m doing really well. 

A Bulldog Personality with a Soft Center Personality-wise, I am a bulldog through and through. I’m demanding, opinionated, dramatic when things don’t go my way, and honestly very funny. Once I decide you’re my person, my loyalty runs deep. In the beginning, I was very unsure about being touched and did try to bite—fear talking, not aggression. Sometimes when I’m picked up, I’ll still grumble like an old man being woken from a nap, but I have never actually hurt anyone. Now, I seek out affection, rest my big head in your lap, roll over for belly rubs, and absolutely melt when you scratch the side of my neck. 

House-Trained, Healed, and Still Growing I’m pretty much potty trained, eat like a champion, and since my neuter, I’ve stopped trying to decorate the house with leg lifts. I’m proud to report zero poop accidents. I can be around other dogs as long as they mostly ignore me, which suits me just fine. With time, trust, and patience, I could absolutely have a dog friend in the future. My Perfect Valentine Home I’m looking for someone who understands sweet-but-spicy bulldogs, keeps snacks nearby, and believes in slow trust-building with a big heart. I love scratches everywhere except my hips for now, and in return, I promise to bring goofy charm, wobbly joy, and unwavering loyalty into your life. 

All I’m Missing Is You 

I’m Leroy Wrigley—a fighter, a lover, a wiggle-walker, and a redeemed freeway boy. I’m finally ready to be warm, safe, and adored. Maybe on your couch, maybe by your side, but definitely in your heart. 

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!

Only serious inquiries for Wrigley and do not ask us if he will get along with your dog we do not know your dog. Wrigley is a loner he needs to be left a lone he is happy that way. He does not need a cuddle buddy or another friend yes that would be nice but that is in his future not currently. Although he does like cats we found out! Obviously he does great at Mo's but she has zero fear of him or any dog. She has learned his triggers and what his trigger are with her might not be what they are with you. That is being said because the last two families had different triggers then what Mo has seen. We will not do a foster to adopt him for anymore because he has been returned twice and now has a bite record. If you are serious about him apply and we will send you his notes. Once again it may be different in your home. Adopter must be able to show they have signed him up for training.

         Pablo, Pablito, Pablo the Potato, Wheels of Steel-Happiness is a Choice

Hi. I’m Pablo. I’m 2 years old, and I’m very happy to be alive. I was surrendered because my old family didn’t have the time to care for me anymore. No hard feelings — life happens. What matters is I’m safe now, and I wake up every single day excited about it. My medical records say I have two calcified discs that haven’t ruptured and some wedged vertebrae. Surprise, surprise… I’m a French Bulldog. We’re built a little different. The most important thing? I’m not in pain. I’m just me — happy, wiggly, and ready for whatever’s next.

Personality: Pure Joy in a Compact Body

If you’re looking for easy-going with a splash of personality, that’s me. I bunny hop up to give kisses. I run like my legs work perfectly (because in my mind, they do). I follow my pack everywhere like it’s my full-time job. Nothing stops me. I love being part of the group, whether that’s lounging near you, cruising in my wheels, or supervising the backyard like a tiny manager. I love a good bone to chew, mealtime is my absolute favorite event of the day, and I’m always smiling about something. Sometimes I get excited and let out a little scream — we’re working on that — but honestly, I just have big feelings about life. During diaper changes I may perform a professional-level alligator roll, and I’m not a fan of having my feet wrapped, but I promise I will make up for it with kisses.

Mobility & Medical

I can stand and take a couple of steps — about two solid ones — and I do favor my right hind leg. But guess what? I learned to use my wheelchair in about half a second. I don’t see it as a big deal. It just means I move a little differently. I’m stable, comfortable, and I feel good. I’ll need a family who keeps me safe from jumping, keeps me at a healthy weight, and helps protect my spine long term. But I don’t need pity. I just need partnership. I start my Chiro appointments in a few weeks and I’m so excited to get back up and go! FFR has gotten dogs back up, so I have some high hopes! You just have to believe!

Training & Manners

I know some important things like “come,” “stop,” and “sit” (we’re all still negotiating what that looks like). I take treats nicely because I’m a gentleman. I absolutely thrive with other dogs and love being part of a pack. I don’t love it when a new dog rushes right into my face — I prefer polite introductions with proper butt sniffing etiquette. Once we’ve established the rules, I’m all in. I’ll follow my dog friends everywhere like we’re in a little squad.

The Home I’m Looking For

I’m looking for a loving home that sees how capable I am. I want people who are calm, steady, and ready to laugh with me. A home with other friendly dogs would make me very happy, but mostly I just want to belong. I’m easy-going, affectionate, and always ready to be part of whatever is happening. I don’t wake up thinking about what I can’t do. I wake up thinking about breakfast, friends, and kisses.

Final thought

I’m Pablo. I’m joyful. I’m resilient. I’m gentle and goofy and completely in love with life. If you’re ready for a little shadow who will follow you everywhere, zoom beside you in my wheels, and remind you daily that happiness is a choice, I think we’d be perfect together.

 Call me whatever just call me home!

          Hi. I’m Rocket - President of The He-Man Woman Haters Club. Deaf…huh? Did you say something? No its not selective hearing.

And before you ask — yes, I know I’m handsome. 1-ish years old (maybe one and a half… I’m mysterious like that) | Completely Deaf | Fully Awesome

I was surrendered to this rescue thing at a dog park meetup, and instead of being all shy and weird about it, I ran straight into the group like, “Alright fellas, what are we playin’?” Within minutes I was having the time of my life. New dogs? Great. Big dogs? Great. Tiny dogs? Also great. I don’t discriminate. I just like to party.

I may weigh over 35 pounds, but in my heart I am approximately five pounds and airborne.

I Don’t Hear You… But I See Everything

Now here’s the thing — I’m completely deaf.

Which sounds dramatic, but honestly? It hasn’t slowed me down one bit. I follow hand signals, I watch faces, I read body language like it’s my full-time job. You wave, I look. You point, I move. You smile, I’m already in your lap.

Some dogs hear. I observe. It’s a talent.

Gentleman with Good Bathroom Manners

Let’s get something straight — I came to foster care already potty trained. That’s right. I go to the door when I need to go out like a civilized young man. I eat well. I sleep well. I adjusted to my foster home like I’ve lived there my whole life.

I’m not here to cause trouble. I’m here to be impressive.

Social Butterfly (But Make It Bulldog)

I love other dogs. I mean really love them. If I see a dog on a walk, I assume we are best friends. Immediately.

Sometimes I get a little enthusiastic about it. I can’t hear if another dog says, “Hey buddy, back it up,” so my foster mom is pretty good about giving me space if a dog looks less than thrilled with my charm.

I’m strong, too. Built like a bowling ball with confidence. We learned very quickly that I do best in a harness because when I’m ready to go, I am ready.

That One Day…

Okay. Fine. On my first day in foster care, I may have been a little… overexcited. There was some enthusiastic humping. I was adjusting. There were new dogs. Big feelings were involved and I came in my last owners car to the dog park and left in a different car. Where the F am I? Well now I am fully adjusted and living my best life with Cutie my foster sister. She has taught me so much and so has all the other dogs in the home.

But then I got neutered, and let me tell you — I have been much more gentlemanly ever since. I’m learning. I’m improving. I’m growing as a person. I may be the president of the He-man club but I am so in love with Cutie!

Cuddler-in-Chief

For a guy with this much energy, I sure do love a couch.

I love chew toys. Bam Bones are my jam. Treat time? Don’t even get me started. But if you sit down and pat your lap, I will launch myself into it and settle in like I pay the mortgage.

My favorite thing in the whole world is curling up next to my foster family and my dog friends and pretending I’m just a tiny little peanut.

I do fine in a crate, but I prefer the VIP section of the couch.

Medically Magnificent (Obviously)

Medically speaking, I’m pretty sound. Especially for a white Frenchie, which is honestly impressive if you know anything about us. I don’t really have allergies — at least not yet. But you know how Frenchies are… we age, we breathe, we exist dramatically. So far though? I’m doing great.

Now yes, I’m deaf. We’ve covered that. And my eyesight? Pretty good overall. I do have a little bit of visual quirkiness going on — but let’s be honest, any dog with light eyes is probably going to have some sensitivity. That’s just Frenchie common sense.

Does it stop me? Not even a little.

I can still see you. I can still see snacks. And I can definitely still see Cutie.

So don’t worry about me. I’m out here thriving.

What I’m Looking For

I’d really like a home with another dog. Someone confident. Someone who can show me the ropes when things are new. I’m brave, but sometimes it’s nice to have a buddy who hears what’s going on.

I promise I’m not fragile. I’m not “special needs” in a dramatic way. I’m just Rocket. I do things my way. I learn with my eyes, smell and vibrations. I love with my whole chest.

So if you’re looking for a fun, slightly mischievous, well-mannered boy who plays hard, cuddles harder, and doesn’t let anything hold him back…

           Hi. I’m Garcia- Retired Monk • Gentle Soul • Professional Good Boy 

Hello, friend. It’s me. Garcia, 3ish years young I’d say 27lbs give or take hopefully give haha Some say I look like a mix between Mr. Magoo and a tiny enlightened monk who has seen some things, found inner peace, and now just wants snacks, naps, and forehead kisses. I have one eye now (long story), but my remaining eye is extra gentle and sees only love, snacks, and good vibes. I am calm. I am kind. I am soft in the soul. And I am ready for my forever chapter.

 My Origin Story (AKA My Great Escape)

Once upon a not-so-fairytale, I was left behind in a yard in Compton when my family moved away. Deserted. Alone. With a huge tumor on my eyeball. A kind neighbor fed me but couldn’t take me in. Then Freedom Frenchie Rescue’s California team jumped into action, broke the lock on the gate, and saved me. A few days later, I made my way to Arizona and officially began my glow-up era. Plot twist: I am now thriving.

 My Medical Glow-Up

 That big scary tumor on my eye was removed and sent out for pathology. The results showed that it was a low grade uveal carcinoma, which is an exceedingly rare type of cancer. The entire tumor was successfully removed, and my prognosis is considered reasonably good. My vets were very glad we chose to remove the entire eye, as it ensured all of the cancer was eliminated. They recommend chest radiographs in 3–6 months just to check in and be extra safe. I healed beautifully with no major swelling, no complications, and lots of grace. Now I rock a little pirate look and honestly… I pull it off. I take meds like a champ (pill in cheese is the trick), let you clean me, handle me, and do anything needed without fuss. Tough little guy. Soft big heart. 

My Personality (Zen Edition)

 I am super chill, gentle, and easygoing. I’m trusting, extremely adaptable, and I adjusted to home life fast. I mind my own business but I also enjoy polite socializing. I love other dogs, I’m great with cats, and I’m great with kids. If you have some turf or grass I will roll in it so hard and then streeetttcchhhh it out from some sunbathing excellence. I coexist beautifully, but I’ll happily join playtime when invited. Unless you introduce an exercise ball… then it’s pups gone wild. Oh yea I like a candle and epson salt when I take a bath it just helps me relax even more then I already am. I’m 420 ready, I guess that’s the best way to put it! Potty Pro Status I have not had a single accident. I go to the door when I need to go outside. I am consistent, reliable, and proud of myself. Potty Pro level: 10 gold medals. 

My Quirks (Please Enjoy)

My milkshake brings all the pups to the yard. I have the cutest little booty strut when I walk or run. I do the best downward dog stretch you’ve ever seen. I stretch and sleep like I’m deep in meditation. I gently walk up and place my paws on your legs to request kisses. I roll over for belly rubs with nothing but a smile. Foster mom is convinced I was a monk in a past life. She is probably correct. 

My Very Good Manners

I know my basic commands, take treats gently, and show zero resource guarding. I’m food motivated but extremely gentlemanly about it. I love affection, love being near my people, and love a good nap. Negative behaviors? None to report. Honestly, I may be the easiest foster ever. 

Car Rides & Harley Dreams 

I prefer the front passenger seat. Sometimes I try to drive. Sometimes I try to sit in your lap. Foster mom has strongly considered a helmet, goggles, and a front-facing pack because she believes I may be destined to be a Harley-riding dog. I cannot confirm or deny, but I look good in theory. 

My Dream Home

 I’m looking for a home that wants a calm, gentle companion. A home that appreciates a low-drama, loving soul dog. A couch buddy. A best friend. I don’t need chaos or intensity. I just need love a space to run and play. Final Thoughts from Me I’ve been through a lot. And I still choose kindness. I still choose trust. I still choose love. If you’re looking for a gentle, goofy, enlightened little pirate who will quietly change your life…

            Hi. I’m Tuco -Energy Level: YESSSSS

Okay first things first — I’m a young guy with a lot of enthusiasm for life. Like… a lot. Imagine someone gave a puppy a triple espresso and told him the world is his playground. That’s kind of all of me and my 29lbs at 1.5 years old.

But hey, I’m learning. This whole “house dog with manners” thing is pretty new to me.

Let’s Talk About Food (My Favorite Topic)

I eat great. Honestly, I love food so much that my foster mom gives me a slow feeder so I don’t inhale it like a vacuum. I used to drink a lot of water really fast and sometimes throw a little back up, but that’s slowed down a lot now that I’ve realized water isn’t going to disappear. Turns out when you’ve had a little bit of chaos in life, you sometimes worry the good stuff might run out. Now that I know it’s always there, I’m doing much better.

Potty Situation: Pretty Impressive If I Do Say So

I had two accidents my first couple days in foster care while I was figuring things out, but once I realized how the system works, I caught on quick. If I have access outside, I take myself out like a responsible gentleman. I’ve also lived with a dog door and picked it up like a champ. So basically… if I can get outside, I’m pretty much potty trained.

My Health

My medical checkups have been great. I did have one strange moment where I was stumbling and seemed a little out of it, but my foster mom took me to the vet right away and they didn’t find anything concerning. After that, I went right back to being my normal goofy self like nothing happened. So overall, I’m healthy and feeling good.

Dog Friends & My Social Life

I do well with other dogs and really enjoy having friends around. I’m confident and playful, and I definitely like to interact with the other dogs in the home. Sometimes I can be a little… enthusiastic about it. I might pester them to play or test the waters a bit, but I hold my own and continue learning appropriate dog manners every day.

My Energy Level (Spoiler: It’s High)

I am a very energetic guy who loves toys, chew bones, and anything that involves fun. Walks are still something I’m learning, but I’m getting better and do really well using a waist lead. I’m curious about the world and excited to explore it. Basically, I’ve got a lot of puppy energy because nobody really taught me when to turn it off before I came to the rescue.

Crate Training

I’m still learning crate training. If you put me in there, I might protest a little… okay maybe I cry a bit. But if the crate is covered, I settle down much faster. The good news is I actually go into my crates on my own to nap sometimes, so I don’t think they’re bad places. I just haven’t fully figured out the rules yet.

Things I’m Still Learning

Because I didn’t have much structure before coming to the rescue, I’m still learning some important life skills. I’ve shown some resource guarding around food or treats when other dogs are nearby, which means I’ll need continued guidance and leadership while I learn that nobody is trying to take things from me. I’m also learning boundaries with other dogs and people. Think of me as a smart kid who never had a teacher before — I just need someone to show me how things work.

My Sweet Side

Now let’s talk about the best part of me, I am a snuggle monster. When I finally slow down, I want to climb right into your arms and melt. I love affection and being close to my people. My foster mom says I’m a silly eater, so she wipes my face after meals, which honestly feels pretty nice. I also know what “bed” means, and if you tell me to go there, I do!

My Perfect Home

What I really need is someone confident who can guide me and continue teaching me how to be the best version of myself. I have so much potential, and now that I’m finally getting structure, I’m learning fast. I’m not a bad dog — I’m just a young guy who was never given the tools before. Now I’m getting all these tools in my life toolbox and I’m understanding not bad for 3 weeks in rescue! And if you’re looking for a funny, loving, slightly dramatic, high-energy sidekick who will make you laugh every day… well…

I’m your guy.

              HI. I’M MIKE.
One of the 11 strangers recently welcomed freedom squad from a breeder release. 

There are a lot of new faces joining the crew… and I’m one of them.

A Stranger No More

Joining the cast at 1.5 years old and about 28lbs, getting paid to be a wiggle worm! I’m one of the newest members of the freedom squad stranger crew. I came from a breeder release, which means the big world is still a little… well… big to me. Everything is new. Toys are new. Parks are new. Cuddles are new. Attention is very new. But let me tell you something — I am loving it. I’m figuring out this whole “being a dog with a family” thing one day at a time, and every day I get a little braver.

My Daily Routine (I’m a Good Eater!)

I’ve got a healthy appetite and my foster mom says that’s a good thing. Breakfast and dinner for me are simple and delicious: one cup of kibble with a scoop of cottage cheese, served twice a day. I take my meals very seriously. Every morning I go outside first thing, and when I do my business like a good boy, I get a treat. I’m learning quickly that good decisions equal snacks, and honestly that’s a system I fully support.

The Potty Training Situation

So here’s the deal… I’m still working on my house manners. Sometimes I try to mark things inside. My foster mom says it’s a “boy dog thing,” but the good news is that since my recent neuter surgery, it has already started to slow down a lot. She’s been using a spray deterrent on furniture and keeping a good routine, which is really helping me understand the rules. I’m a smart guy, I just need consistency, patience, and a little guidance. So belly bands might come in handy for a little bit until I figure your life out and you figure mine out!

The Wiggle Worm

When I get excited, my whole body goes into full wiggle mode. My booty shakes, my hips sway, and it basically turns into a tiny bulldog dance party. My foster mom says I can sway those hips like there is no tomorrow, and honestly I think she might be right.

My Little Rascal Side

Okay… full disclosure. I do have a bit of a rascal side. I love chewing on things, especially plastic items like phone cords, remote controls, or anything else that looks interesting and is within reach. If it catches my eye, there is a good chance I might test it with my teeth. So if you adopt me, just remember one simple rule: keep your things picked up. Not because I’m bad… but because I’m curious. Very curious.

My Foster Sister (And Why I Need a Dog Friend)

Right now I live with a 5-year-old female Frenchie, and she’s basically my life coach. I watch everything she does — how she plays, how she eats, and how she lives her best Frenchie life. I’m very respectful of her, especially when it comes to food. I don’t show any resource guarding and tend to be submissive around her. Because of that, the rescue believes I would do best in a home with another dog, preferably a female companion who can help continue teaching me the ropes. I’m definitely a pack dog and I like having a buddy around.

Adventures (The Big World is Still Big)

My foster mom takes me on short walks to the park, and I’m learning how to use a leash. At first I was very shy and timid, and I might still be that way when I arrive in a new home until I get comfortable. Building confidence doesn’t happen overnight. These things take time, structure, and guidance. One time I tried to sneak out the front door, but I ran right back inside. Turns out the big world might be a little scary after all.

Toys Are AMAZING

When I first arrived, I didn’t really understand toys. I had no idea what they were or what you were supposed to do with them. But once I figured it out… game on. Now I love toys and I’m even learning how to play fetch. Discovering toys might be one of the most exciting parts of my new life.

Learning to Cuddle

Cuddling with humans is another new skill I’m working on. Sometimes I lay close to my foster sister, but we’re not quite professional snugglers yet. Humans though? I’m starting to realize they’re actually pretty great to cuddle with. Turns out affection is pretty awesome.

My Medical Update

I recently had my neuter surgery and I’m recovering really well. I also have another vet appointment scheduled to repeat a heartworm test, because the first one showed a faint possible positive. The rescue is being extra careful and making sure everything is perfect before I head off to my forever home.

My Perfect Home

My ideal home would have another friendly dog, preferably a female companion, patient humans who understand that I’m still learning about the world, and plenty of toys. I may be a little unsure at first, but once I feel safe my goofy, loving personality really starts to shine. And of course, it helps if you appreciate a good booty wiggle.

From Breeder Dog to Freedom Squad

Not that long ago I didn’t know toys, parks, or cuddles. Now I’m learning what it means to be part of the freedom squad family. The next step is finding my forever pack… and maybe that’s you.

Mike is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, his adoption donation fee is $1250.00. He is being fostered in Gilbert, AZ and you can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org

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.

            HI. I'M LUCAS The Quiet Observer of the Stranger Crew

I'm another one of the Freedom Frenchie Rescue “Stranger Crew” members from the breeder release of 11. I'm about 2 years old and around 28 pounds, and I'm still figuring out what life looks like outside of the only world I ever knew. Everything is pretty new to me—new people, sounds, routines, toys, and places—and I'm taking it all in slowly, one day at a time.

My foster family says I kind of look like a tiny old man, and honestly I think that might be accurate. I'm pretty chill and laid back most of the time. I'm not super hyper or wild—I mostly go with whatever is happening around me and observe things quietly. Right now I keep to myself a bit while I figure things out, but my foster family is excited to see my personality bloom as I get more comfortable.

When I first arrived, I barely ate during my first week. That's pretty common for dogs who have just left breeder environments. Everything felt overwhelming and I needed time to adjust. The good news is I'm eating well now and settling into a normal routine.

I didn't really know what toys were when I first got here. I'm still not completely sure what you're supposed to do with them, but I'm starting to explore them a little more each day. Who knows—maybe one day I'll become a toy expert.

I live with my Frenchie foster sister Cardi and mostly just ignore her and mind my own business. There is also a boxer in the house and I'm still unsure about him. When I see him through a gate or the window I sometimes bark and react. My foster family isn't sure if it's a big dog thing or just this particular dog, so for now I'm separated from the other dogs except Cardi.

I'm actually very comfortable in my crate. A lot of dogs from breeder situations spend a lot of time in crates so it feels familiar to me. Sometimes I do something funny though—I kick all the beds and pads to the side and sleep right on the crate floor instead.

I'm doing great with keeping my crate clean and haven't had accidents in it. In the mornings I bark to let everyone know I'm ready to go outside right away. My nighttime barking has improved a lot too and my separation anxiety is getting better each day.

Medical Endeavors

I had a heart worm test done and it came back with a faint positive so we are doing another one this week. I recovered very well from my neuter and I am thriving with no other underlying  medical issues. 

I'm learning how to walk on a leash and I'm actually doing really well with it. One place I've discovered that I really enjoy is the dog park. It's a big world out there but I'm slowly realizing it might not be so scary after all.

I already know my name and I respond when my humans say 'no.' I'm also starting to understand 'down.' I had a bath when I first arrived and did very well—apparently I'm a pretty polite gentleman.

I'm completely obsessed with my foster dad. My foster family calls him a bit of a dog whisperer and I trust him a lot. If I could sit in his lap all day long I absolutely would. Now that I've had a taste of love and attention I really crave it.

I'm still a little bit of a nervous guy and that's okay. Dogs like me have never been socialized and have never left the property we lived on before rescue. Trust takes time, but every day I get a little braver.

My ideal home will understand that I'm still learning about life. I'm a gentle, quiet guy who needs patience, structure, and love while I build confidence. Right now I might remind you of a sweet old man who likes to relax, but my foster family believes my real personality is still waiting to shine through.

               HOPPER - REPORTING FOR FUN DUTY.

That’s right. Chief Hopper has entered the building. Another proud member of the Freedom Squad Stranger Crew — one of the 11 dogs rescued from a breeder release. Age: 2 years old. Build: muscular little tank. Occupation: Zoomie Commander and Professional Snorer. Not long ago I didn’t know much about the world. Now I’m discovering couches, doggy doors, toys, car rides, nose butter, and luxury living — and I’m adapting quickly.

I have two settings. Setting one is FULL SEND — zoomies, running like a cannonball, wrestling with dog friends, and generally acting like the strong, athletic Frenchie that I am. Setting two is deep relaxation mode where I sploot like a yoga mat, stretch dramatically, fall into a deep sleep, and snore like I just finished a double shift at the Hawkins Police Department in The Upside Down

Inside life is incredible. Couches, air conditioning, soft beds, and humans who love you. I’m still figuring out the difference between inside rules and outside rules, but I’m learning quickly and doing really well.

I’ve learned how to use the doggy door, which might be one of the greatest inventions ever created. Potty training is going really well. I still hike my leg here and there because old habits take time to break, but every day I’m getting better.

Dogs like me coming from breeder situations need time to adjust. The 3‑3‑3 rule is important for me and I’m doing great with it so far. I’m learning a lot by watching my foster siblings.

I love having dog friends to play with and learn from. Sometimes I stand in front of one of my foster siblings or block them like a hall monitor. My foster dad says that’s a dominance behavior and we’re working on it. I’m learning that everyone gets love and nobody has to compete for it. I think I’m just scared, I won’t get it again and it is a freaking luxury! Can you believe LOVE is a luxury?

My first car ride was the long trip back to Arizona and I handled it like a champ. I settle quickly once the car starts moving, so I’m ready for adventures.

I’m learning leash walking and making great progress. Foster dad currently gives me three out of five stars, which is pretty solid for someone learning everything from scratch.

I’m what my foster dad lovingly calls a loud breather. And when I fall asleep the snoring becomes legendary — especially when I’m stretched out splooted like a yoga mat. In a deep trance I tell yea!!! If my foster dad makes one sound my eyes are locked in on him. What if he leaves me! That’s initially what goes through my brain. He doesn’t its cool, I’m just a bit needy and nervous. 

I’m a slobber enthusiast. My foster dad wipes my face a lot and at first I was suspicious, but now I love it. I even have my own towel. And then there’s nose butter — wow that stuff is amazing. Apparently dogs have spa products and I’m here for it. My absolute favorite thing is when foster dad scratches and massages under my chin.

For a while I kept hearing this strange ringing sound and had no idea what it was. Now I know exactly what it means and I’m very aware of it. It’s the camera!! I’m learning how this whole system works.

My perfect home will understand the 3‑3‑3 rule, give me patience while I keep learning, provide structure and consistency, and let me run, play, and burn off my energy. Someone has to love deep snoring!

Not long ago I didn’t know what couches were. Now I have foster siblings, humans who teach me things, car rides, chin scratches, and a whole world opening up around me. I’m Hopper, and I’m just getting started.

Hopper is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered, his adoption donation fee is $1250.00. Currently he is being fostered in Phoenix, AZ and you can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org.

  Hi, I’m Will. If they packaged complete joy and shine in a bottle I would be on the label. 

I’m a lucky Stranger Things Eleven who made it out and found my way to Freedom Frenchie Rescue. I spent the first part of my life in a breeding situation, which means everything I’m learning now is brand new—kind of like the very first day of school. New home, new people, new dogs, new toys… it’s a lot, but I’m taking it all in with curiosity and excitement. Honestly, life is starting to feel pretty amazing.

Personality – A Little Ray of Arizona Sunshine

If you’ve ever seen the bright morning sun rise over the mountains into the Arizona valley, that’s my personality—warm, vibrant, curious, and full of life.

I’m a happy-go-luck kind of guy who just wants to be friends with everyone. Dogs absolutely love me, and I love them right back. I love big dogs with long hair I just relate to them somehow! I went to a Frenchie meet up and I said hi to every big dog there. Following them around learning from them!  I have zero aggression and a really easygoing way about me. If a dog doesn’t want to play? No big deal—I’ll just wander off and find another buddy. No hard feelings. That’s the best part about being a dog… we don’t hold grudges.

And I have to mention my tiny little tongue that sticks out sometimes—it’s pretty adorable if I do say so myself.

Dog Life – Everybody’s Friend

I’m currently being fostered with Joyce, another member of the Stranger Things crew. We’re not exactly bonded, but we are definitely best friends. We hang out, explore together, and keep each other company. If someone wanted to adopt us together, that would be incredible—but I’ll also do just fine continuing my adventure on my own. I definitely need a family that has other dogs. I am pack dog and I enjoy a friend!

Every dog I meet seems to sense my energy, and because of that I’ve never had issues with other dogs. I’m the type who just wants to coexist peacefully and enjoy the moment. FYI my tongue is out all the time!!

Learning the Good Life – Toys, Treats & Adventures

I’ve recently discovered something incredible… toys. My favorite is little Lambie. I carry it around, gently suckle on it, toss it in the air, and then chase after it like it’s the greatest invention ever made. I learned that trick from watching my foster siblings.

Treats are still a little mysterious to me. I like to sniff/inspect them carefully first to make sure everything checks out before accepting them. But I’m getting there! Meal time is improving too. Dogs like me who come from breeding situations sometimes need time to figure out routines, but I’m learning maybe it has taken me a few weeks, but I have never had human food before and that’s what I eat now! SOOOOO different!

Training & Home Life

I’m doing exceptionally well with potty training and I already understand the doggie door. We’re still working through some old habits (marking outside can be fun!), but inside the house I’ve been very respectful.

I’m also a pretty polite house guest. I don’t jump on furniture and I’m happy sleeping on a dog bed or even the cool floor.

I love cuddles and pets, and I’ll happily sit on your lap like the little king I am. I enjoy attention but I’m also patient—I’ve been great at social events, calmly greeting people and soaking up the love.

Brave, Curious & Ready for the World

Unlike some of the pack I came with, I’m pretty brave and not very shy. I handle new situations well and even do surprisingly good in the car—especially considering my first ride ever was when I left my old life behind.

Health

I’m about 3 years old and a healthy little guy. I show no underlying health issues and my heartworm test came back negative. The rescue team even thinks I might be the dad of one of the puppies they rescued a few months ago—we share a pretty similar look and personality!

The Home I’m Looking For

Even though I’m confident and friendly, dogs like me still need patience, structure, and guidance as we learn how to live this new life. Everything is still fairly new, and a loving home that understands the 3-3-3 rule and decompression will help me blossom into the amazing dog I’m meant to be. What I promise in return is simple: Joy, curiosity, friendship, and a little sunshine every single day.

Final Words from Will

I didn’t know life could be like this—friends, toys, cuddles, and people who care. But now that I do, I’m ready to keep learning and loving with the family that chooses me.

So if you’re looking for a gentle, happy-hearted little guy with a tiny tongue and a giant spirit, I might just be your perfect match. 

The rescue team even thinks I might be the dad of one of the puppies they rescued a few months ago—we share a pretty similar look and personality!
