Welcome to Freedom Frenchie Rescue Adoptables

Meet Astra: A True Survivor with a Heart of Gold!

This 6 year old angel is a French bulldog mix full of endlessly loyalty, and a story that is nothing short of remarkable.  Rescued from a Southern California shelter, Astra came into care in heartbreaking condition—covered in mange, missing 75% of her fur, and with cropped ears that had endured years of neglect. This created huge masses in her ears. But Astra’s resilience and the dedication of her care team turned her story into one of triumph. During her recovery, Astra underwent TECA surgery to remove painful masses in her ears caused by years of suffering. There was even a chance she might lose her ears entirely, but thanks to the expertise of her amazing vet, her adorable little nubs were saved! Today, Astra is fully healed and rocking her one-of-a-kind look with pride. She does have hard time of hearing but it is not completely gone! A mix of healing and the Frenchie selective hearing of treat bags and the word "play"! 

Personality: 

This sweet girl is as gentle as a summer breeze and as sweet as cherry pie. Astra doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She’s  potty trained (though she might need a little patience while transitioning to her new routine) and absolutely adores being around her people. Whether she’s basking in the sun with her doggy friends, shadowing her foster mom around the house, or curling up on the couch to watch Yellowstone, Astra’s gratitude for her second chance at life is written all over her happy little face. Astra also loves going for walks, showing off her confident stride and charming smile to everyone she meets. While she may not have the classic French Bulldog look, her loving eyes, gentle demeanor, and unshakable spirit make her unforgettable. Her favorite toys are the water hose, a bone and a ball when it is bounced

Home Life: 

Astra would thrive in a home where she can bask in love, snuggle with her family, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. She’s perfect for someone looking for a calm, loving companion who knows the value of a second chance. Astra’s transformation is nothing short of inspiring, and she’s ready to bring joy and love into a forever home. Could you be the family she’s been waiting for? Adopt Astra and welcome a true survivor into your heart.

She is vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed.  Apply for Astra on our site. She is located in Scottsdale, AZ

Buddy our Little Elder Introvert Who Is A Gentleman At Heart 

Meet Buddy, the French Bulldog with the personality of a 1920s flapper dancer! This 7-year-old charmer came to us as an owner surrender due to family changes and concerns over his behavior around young children. While Buddy showed some aggression in his previous home with their toddler, he has been adjusting with his foster home, When it comes to Buddy, allow him to come to you! Slow introductions are required with other dogs, as he prefers to do his own thing rather than join in on their antics.

Buddy is a sweet, introverted soul who thrives in a calm and quiet environment. He has a gentle sway in his hips when he walks, which only adds to his unique personality. Whether he’s “talking” in his hilarious Frenchie bark, exploring the house, playing with his toys (his favorite thing in life is to play), or enjoying a long nap, Buddy knows how to keep himself entertained.

Ideal Home:

Buddy is looking for a home with no children under 10 years old, that are well versed in leaving a dog be (he is not looking for a best friend), as he finds chaotic environments overwhelming. He would do wonderfully in a household with:

• A small, quiet family with older children

• A single person who wants a loyal companion

• A peaceful couple who can provide a calm and structured environment

Buddy loves his crate (it’s his safety zone) and prefers it to be accessible so he can come and go as he pleases. His favorite spot is a cozy dog bed by the couch, where he can keep an eye on you while relaxing. But sometimes he will curl up on your lap for a cuddle, all on his terms! 

Health & Special Care Needs:

Buddy is healthy overall, but as a senior French Bulldog, he has a few age-related conditions:

• Spinal Issues (IVDD): Managed with medication, crate rest, and non-surgical therapies such as acupuncture or chiropractic treatments.

• Allergies: He is on a salmon-based diet and supplements (hip and joint supplements, probiotics) to keep him feeling his best.

• Eyes: One of Buddy’s eyes is slightly cloudy due to a repaired ulcer, but it doesn’t affect his quality of life.

• Mobility: He walks on all fours and is not incontinent. Continued care, like therapy and a safe home layout, will help him thrive.

Personality:

Buddy is a true introvert who loves peace and quiet. He’s not one for rough housing but adores cheek and ear scratches. His quirky bark—part talk, part Frenchie charm—is sure to make you laugh. He may not be the life of the party, but he’s the perfect companion for someone who values quiet moments and a loving presence. He loves to go for short walks, but we always advise to not let strangers pet. 

Buddy has plenty of life and love left to share. With his foster family’s care, he’s been thriving, and we’re confident he can continue living a happy, comfortable life with the right adopter. This guy needs a home to live out the rest of his golden years quietly with a couch potato. 

If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion to share your days with, Buddy might just be your perfect match! He is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped.  Please apply for Buddy on our website, freedomfrenchierescue.org, located in Buckeye, AZ

 Westin The Spicy Football, Looking for His Forever Home! 

Westin is a 7.5 to 8 year-old (estimated due to shelter life), 18-pound French Bulldog with a big personality and an even bigger heart once you earn his trust. His journey has been nothing short of heartbreaking. After his owner passed away, Westin was surrendered to Long Beach Animal Shelter, where he struggled to adjust. Can you imagine how terrified he was? From a familiar home to a loud, unfamiliar shelter, surrounded by strangers it was overwhelming for him. He was extremely guarded and fearful at the shelter, allowing only one employee near him. When we picked him up, he refused to be handled, so he was carefully crated for transport. Once we arrived at our hotel, we gave him space with no pressure, and zero expectations, just time to decompress. Slowly, we watched his walls come down.

He was great with the other dog we had with us.

He chose to engage on his own terms.

He took treats and even climbed onto Mo’s lap, but not without some growling!

Progress Is Made: 

Westin has continued to make progress in his foster home, and has warmed up well to family life! His new favorite thing, nightly evening walks under the stars in his wagon! He has learned what true love is, but of course when he's ready. Westin is a sweet gentleman when he learns trust with you! His age does not fit his energy or personality.

Westin’s Perfect Home

Westin is not your typical cuddly Frenchie he’s an old soul who values his space, but he will warm up to you with time. As like us adults the older we get the more we just love having our own space in this busy day to day world. He needs a patient, understanding adopter who will respect his boundaries and allow him to adjust.

Westin loves:

Sunbathing.

Playing with toys. 

Evening walks/rides in his wagon 

Treats are his love language! 

Baths & wrinkle cleaning (if done gently).

What to Expect:

He will growl and possibly nip at first, this is his way of setting boundaries. He requires the 3-3-3 rule (3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to adjust, 3 months to feel at home). Westin is not a fan of being picked up.  So do not have an expectation to pick him up for a few days. Also do not expect to have the meet and greet goes as you plan. You can’t judge this guy and how he will be in the future the first time you meet him. You must be able to jump in with both feet for Westin and trust the process. If you want more information on that, please watch his video on social media as it has taken two weeks to get where he is today with Mo and her family. If you are impatient, he is not for you. No children under 13 years of age unless you are experienced with rescue frenchie’s. 

Medical:

Westin has a sway in his walk and some back leg tremors, but he manages well with daily Gabapentin, joint supplements, and probiotics. His ears require regular cleaning, but as long as you go slow, he tolerates it well.

Is your home the one for Westin!

Westin needs an experienced, patient adopter willing to give him the time and space he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will be your best friend once he learns to trust you, he might just be your perfect match. He is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped.  Apply to adopt Westin at freedomfrenchierescue.org! Located in Casa Grande, AZ

 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. She’s currently on a high-protein hydrolyzed prescription 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! 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.  

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.

The Ultimate Snuggle Snack Queen! 

Looking for a best friend who will adore you, make you laugh, and steal your spot on the couch? Katie is a 5-year-old 32 lb. French Bulldog with a heart of gold, a love for snacks, and a smile that could melt glaciers! And can we say resilient, she has an incredible story! 

Katie's Journey: 

 Katie’s journey is nothing short of inspirational—she was an owner surrender who came to the freedom squad after she was already with two previous owners that could not care for her. While Katie was in our care, she was excitedly playing at the park chasing her foster sibling and was injured and lost the use of her back legs. We immediately took her to the specialist and had to decide if we were going to do surgery or treat her with medication. With advice from our vet, we decided to treat with medication and within a few weeks Katie was back up on her feet. With the help of her foster parents, some physical therapy and crate rest Katie is back to her usual self of just having a good time! Resilience with her is amazing.  With her new foster, she has already shown great strides in showing she doesn't require a diaper (she is over that fashion statement for good), she is not incontinent, and she is back to being a nosey and adventurous  frenchie as part of the action! She is curious, interested in all things life, and is ready to join a pack! She is even learning, what is a cat?! What are these 4 legged creatures that make a hissing noise at me! 

Medical: 

This big girl had to be put on a diet that was a must and has lost about 8lbs and can continue to lose just a few more so it takes the pressure off her spine and discs. She is running around and harassing her foster siblings like she was never injured. To keep her thriving, she’ll need a family that will watch out for her, help keep her back healthy and help her stay fit to ensure she stays a success story. 

Favorites: 

Something that doesn’t slow her down... snacks! Katie LOVES trying new foods! It is a great way to keep her active and fit with a great goal at the end. She loves healthy snacks and will want to please you for some! Whether it’s a crunchy carrot or a fancy gourmet dog biscuit, she’s always down for a taste test. Her current diet consists of salmon kibble, with pumpkin a topping with bone broth. 

Personality: 

Love Bug Extraordinaire: Katie is an expert cuddler and would happily spend her days lounging in bed (like most Frenchie’s), snuggling on the couch, or soaking up all the attention you can give. She adores all humans and flashes her signature smile whenever she sees her favorite people. Katie is the ideal dog as she is crate trained, leash trained, easy to groom, and a huge fan of car rides.  She thrives already on a schedule, and is excited to show her potty breaks outside! She was determined to jump back into life. 

Behavior Traits: 

Katie does well with other dogs but sometimes she has a sassy side—sometimes she plays nice, and sometimes she likes to be the bossy queen of the house. She might resource guard her human because she is literally all about the attention, but takes time and patience to teach her that she can share the love. Katie will do great in a home with a more submissive dog that could care less about attention 24/7 or as an only dog. We feel that this may have a lot to do with her injury as when she came to us, she did great with the pack the first few weeks. Once the injury happened and Katie had to be on crate rest, she wanted nothing more than to be out and about with everyone! 

She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. You can apply to adopt her on our website freedomfrenchierescue.org. She is located in Casa Grande, AZ

Meet Poppy! She hears more than you think! Poppy is a resilient little Frenchie who joined the Freedom Squad from the San Diego Humane Society. Originally adopted out, she was sadly returned when her previous owners couldn’t keep up with her medical needs. The shelter reached out to us for help, believing she was deaf—but Poppy hears more than you’d think! This adorable girl does have some hearing loss, but she’s far from deaf! She responds to loud sounds, whistles, barking, and outside noises. Plus, she’s the ultimate nosy neighbor—always wanting to be part of the action. 

Poppy’s Personality: Poppy is mostly potty trained, only pee accidents in her crate as she is getting use to her foster moms schedule. She absolutely loves her fur siblings, whether it’s to play with them or cuddle. She is an A+ cuddle bug, she will tuck herself into your legs on the couch like a little bug. Poppy has zero aggression towards any other dogs, and we have not seen any resource guarding. Total foodie, she will beg for food with her heavy head tilt and try to snatch snacks from her foster siblings. We are currently trying to teach her that she must wait her turn as we do not have several arms to give treats to everyone at once. Poppy is a fearless explorer and loves to go for walks and on adventures in the car. She is a toy enthusiast, and playtime is her favorite time besides sunbathing and taking a nap! 

Medical & Training Needs: Head tilt—leftover from a past severe ear infection. Mild allergies—currently managed with Benadryl. Crate talker—she’ll whimper a little when she wants out or to come inside, then she will have that frenchie talk if you do not meet her needs. Food manners in progress—learning not to steal treats from others! With her big, expressive eyes and adorable head tilt, it’s almost impossible to say no to her! 

Poppy is looking for a loving furever home where she can continue to thrive, play, and snuggle. Could that be with you? Poppy is spay, fully vaccinated and microchipped. You can apply for her on our website. Information on adoption process is there as well. Adoption Donation Fee $1050.00

Meet Daisy – The Sweet & Soulful Explorer! Daisy is a 3 year old French Bulldog-Boxer mix who found her way to Freedom Frenchie Rescue from an LA shelter. Originally listed as a bulldog, it was clear once we met her that she’s something special—Frenchie-sized with the spirit and grace of a Boxer! 

Personality: Daisy is a total sweetheart who loves cuddles and being close to her humans. While she enjoys being around other dogs, she also has an independent side. Instead of jumping into the chaos, she often prefers to watch from her favorite elevated bed, soaking up the sunshine. She will sometimes join in on the fun, but for the most part, she’s content just chilling, going for walks, and sticking close to her foster human sibling. Daisy is still adjusting to her new life and learning to socialize, but she is making great progress. She does have moments where she resource guards her human, but she is quickly learning that she doesn’t need to compete for love and attention. 

Medical snapshot: Before arriving at the rescue, Daisy had a femoral head ostectomy (FHO)—a surgery where the ball joint of her femur was removed. The shelter had no records of her procedure, but X-rays confirmed what had been done. Currently, she is working on building muscle in that leg to ensure she stays strong and mobile. If she ever seems uncomfortable, a little Gabapentin helps, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit! She absolutely loves going for walks and enjoys chasing her foster human sibling around the yard with the other dogs. 

Meal time: When it comes to food, Daisy is thriving on a salmon kibble and raw salmon mix, which she absolutely loves. To avoid any food-related issues, she is fed separately from the other dogs. She is not a picky eater and looks forward to mealtime every day. 

Home life: Daisy would do well in a home with one or two other dogs, but she would also be completely happy as an only pet. She travels very well in the car and is always ready for a new adventure, making her a great companion for an active family. While she is still learning to fully trust humans, she is making incredible progress each day. Sometimes, she will still crouch down when someone reaches out to pet her, but she is slowly gaining confidence. Her foster mom sees something deep in Daisy’s eyes—a dog who has been let down in the past but is learning that she is safe and loved. Daisy has already shown how much love she has to give, especially with her foster human sibling, whom she adores. When she really settles in she will be bursting with trust and confidence again! So we can’t wait to hear about her 6 month update from her adopters! She enjoys spending time with her people, getting special one-on-one attention, and soaking up all the love she can. She does like to howl when she’s ready to be let out of her crate in the morning, eager to start her day. After checking in on what all her friends are doing and getting her sunbathing in, she is always ready to come back inside for some downtime. If you’re looking for a loyal, adventurous, and loving companion, Daisy is ready to find her forever home, we think it will be yours! She is vaccinated, spay and microchipped.  You can apply for Daisy on our website at freedomfrenchierescue.org

Adoption Donation Fee $975.00. Check out our social media for more clips of Daisy!

Meet FiFi Sassafrass! 

FiFi is a 2-year-old French Bulldog with a stunning lilac merle coat and the most precious, expressive eyes. She was found as a stray and brought into the Freedom Squad when her owner never came for her. Despite her rough start, FiFi has blossomed into a funny, spicy, and affectionate little lady who is ready to find her forever home. 

Personality Quirks: This girl is full of personality! She absolutely loves people and will be your little shadow, following you from room to room. She thrives on attention and enjoys being the center of your world. While she is still learning how to interact with other dogs, she has a great time playing with the younger foster siblings in her current home. However, she does resource guard her toys and food, which is common in rescue Frenchie’s. To help her feel secure, she eats in her crate, and we are slowly teaching her that she is safe and doesn’t need to guard her things. With time, confidence, and trust in humans, this behavior can improve. 

Training Adventures: FiFi is crate trained and sees her crate as a safe space where she can relax. She is mostly potty trained, never having poop accidents in her crate, and only very rarely having a pee accident overnight. She is also doing well with her leash training, although she gets excited and may pull—she just loves going on adventures! This girl is talkative and full of silly sounds and conversations, making every moment with her entertaining. 

Medical Needs: Medically, FiFi has no major concerns, but her body structure is unique. She has a compact frame with long legs, and her back legs are slightly taller than usual. While she currently shows no signs of IVDD, it is something to be mindful of as she ages. Preventing her from jumping off furniture and providing daily joint supplements will help keep her strong and healthy. She was recently spayed, which should help balance her hormones. She does have one funny habit—sometimes, she self-entertains (if you know, you know). It’s not an ongoing issue, and with her recent spay, it should fade over time. It’s hard not to laugh, but it’s something to redirect when needed! 

Transition Life: FiFi would do best in a home that understands the 3-3-3 rule—three days to decompress, three weeks to learn the routine, and three months to fully settle in. If you already have a dog, patience will be key in teaching them both that sharing is caring. She would love a mix of adventure and cuddle time, whether that means strolling through the farmer’s market or snuggling up on the couch. This little girl is an absolute joy, bringing love, laughter, and personality into every room she enters. If you’re looking for a Frenchie who will make you smile every single day, FiFi is ready to be your new best friend. Apply to adopt FiFi today on our website freedomfrenchierescue.org, please check out our adoption process! She is vaccinated, microchipped, and spay her adoption donation fee is $1050.00. Check out our social media for more clips of Fifi!

Meet Indica Our Little Flower Child! 

At 2 years old Indica came to the freedom squad in December. This sweet girl started her new chapter in life as part of a puppy mill rescue earlier this year, and she’s been blossoming ever since. We have had to prolong her spay date to 02/18 because she had upper respiratory infection. Indica is a stunning Frenchie with bright blue eyes and a soft, gentle demeanor. She came to us from a puppy mill release and has been adjusting beautifully to her new life. While she initially struggled with digestive issues (a common concern in French Bulldogs), she has improved significantly after having a recent surgery. However, as she settles into her forever home, she may experience mild setbacks nothing a little patience and love can’t handle!  

Personality: Cuddle Bug Extraordinaire and Loves to snuggle up next to her foster mom. She is smart & quick learner mastered the doggie door in just a few days! Playful & fun enjoys toys, treats, and learning basic commands. Loves to be in the mix and she thrives on companionship and being part of the family. Indica is eager to please, she craves love and positive reinforcement. Her personality continues to shine brighter every day. She is leaving behind some not-so-great traits she learned in the puppy mill like eating her turds, which is not uncommon with this breed. She loves to play with her toys and run around the yard seeking attention. 

Medical: Indica kept vomiting and we did an xray and she had debris lodged into her stomach. She passed some of it over time but there was a massive amount that we had to remove surgically recently. It seemed to be some type of plastic, and treats that our rescues should not be snacking on. She will have her stitches removed in a week and she is on her way to being healed.She is ready for applications to find her forever home when she is healed for a happy transition to forever. Please keep an eye on her as she settles in your home as she is like a vacuum at times. 

Ideal Home:  A loving family or individual ready to provide affection and patience. She must be fed separate as she resources guards her food. A safe stable environment where she can continue to grow and be successful and understand what it is like to be in a loving home. Indica has already captured many hearts, so we encourage interested adopters to apply now! She will be ready to go home a few days after her spay, as long as there are no complications. You can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org her adoption donation fee is $1050.00. Check out our social media for more clips of Indica!

Meet Sunnie — a spunky little doll face with a shy side and a heart that’s just starting to bloom.

Sunnie is estimated to be around 2 years old, and she joined the Freedom Squad from Hesperia Shelter alongside Moonie and Monty. While Sunnie and Moonie both arrived with C-section stitches that had been left in far too long (the skin was starting to grow around them!), our founder Mo and her son gently removed them the day they arrived. Thankfully, Sunnie is healing up beautifully and is showing no signs of major medical issues.

Sunnie Fun:

This petite, bunny-hopping beauty is mostly potty trained — just a few accidents here and there, which we’re chalking up to her diet transition and big life changes. She’s also learning how to use the doggie door, and once she figures out her forever home, we’re confident she’ll master it in no time. Especially since Sunnie’s favorite place is wherever her person is. She’s a total shadow-in-training.

At first glance, Sunnie might seem timid. She hesitates to join in on the chaos of playtime and tends to cower when picked up — but don’t let that fool you. Her inner spunk is surfacing more and more each day. When her foster mom walks through the door, Sunnie does the most adorable excited bunny hop, and you can see her sweet spirit peeking out more and more.

Home Life:

She’ll need a patient family who understands she’s been through some things, but once you earn her trust, she’s ALL IN. She loves to eat, is a big fan of snacks, and is putting on weight slowly but surely. She does show a bit of resource guarding with food, so she’s currently fed in her crate (like several others in her foster home, for safety) just to keep the peace — and it works great for her.

Sunnie is the perfect mix of gentle, curious, and goofy. She just needs a soft place to land and a family who sees her potential. If you’re looking for a quiet girl with a sparkle in her eye and a slow-burning love story — she’s waiting. Let her bring some light to your life.

Final Note:

Sunnie is spay, vaccinated and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $1050.00. You can apply for Sunnie on our website freedomfrenchierescue.org, the adoption process is on there as well! Check out our social media for more clips of Sunnie!

Meet Indica Our Little Flower Child! 

Tink is a one-and-a-half-year-old fluffy French Bulldog who is as sweet as she is adorable. She came to us from a shelter in Southern California, and like many rescue dogs, she arrived with a few habits formed from uncertainty and survival. One of the first things we noticed was her excessive water drinking—something we often see in shelter dogs who have learned to drink as much as they can, unsure of when they’ll have access to water again. Over time, as she settles into the safety and consistency of her foster home, this behavior is slowly subsiding. Along with it, her frequent urination is also improving. Tink is still learning how to use the doggie door and doesn’t always signal when she needs to go out, so continued potty training will be necessary in her adoptive home. Like all of our rescues, she’s adjusting from a past where many dogs lived in crates or outdoor spaces and were never properly taught where to go potty—patience and gentle guidance go a long way.

Personality Quirks:

Tink’s personality is pure joy. She is full of energy and very playful, loving, and curious about the world around her. She delights in rolling around on the floor, entertaining herself or playing with her foster siblings. Toys, yak bones, and bully sticks are her absolute favorites, and they help keep her stimulated and engaged. She has shown no signs of aggression and gets along well with other dogs, but she’s still learning how to read the social cues that tell her when playtime might be getting too rowdy. This is all part of her learning curve, and she’s doing beautifully with time and positive reinforcement.

Medical:

When Tink first arrived, she was also dealing with diarrhea, which we’ve been treating, and she’s already showing improvement. Like many French Bulldogs, she has some allergy-related symptoms, including licking her paws to the point of creating a sore. With regular Epsom salt soaks, the area is healing well. A fish-based diet will be key in helping her manage her allergies moving forward, and her adopters will need to continue this to ensure her long-term health. Despite these minor issues, she’s a happy, affectionate pup who loves to be brushed, have her belly rubbed, and cuddles up next to her human. She’ll often tuck herself beside you for love, only to bounce off the couch moments later to chase after a toy.

Ideal Home:

Tink has only been with us for a few weeks, but she’s already proven herself to be an incredible little lady with so much love to give. She would do well in a home with or without other dogs and will need ongoing training, structure, and mental stimulation to help her thrive. Her ideal home is one that understands the needs of rescue dogs and is ready to help her continue her journey toward full trust and comfort. 

Tink is ready for her forever—are you ready to meet her?

If you’re interested in adopting Tink, please apply at freedomfrenchierescue.org. Tink is fully vaccinated, spay and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $1350.00. This sweet girl is waiting to start her next chapter with a family who will love her unconditionally. Check out our social media for more clips of Tink!

Meet Dottie Yard Supervisor

This stunning 8-month-old French Bulldog has platinum fur, big blue eyes, and a whole lot of personality. She joined the Freedom Squad from a Southern California shelter alongside her sister, Kit. These two are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. If you’ve ever seen A League of Their Own, you’ll totally understand the dynamic—Dottie is definitely the attention-loving sister that is always supervising the yard!

Playful spirit:

Dottie is all about love, play, and snacks. She adores running around the yard with her foster siblings and her favorite time of day is basking in the early morning sun before it gets too hot. And let’s talk about food—this girl lives for it! She’ll literally tackle another dog with her goofy puppy energy just to be first in line for a treat. Mornings are a whole production with her excited screams from the crate while waiting for breakfast. Because of how fast she eats, her foster mom uses a slow feeder and keeps her on a steady routine.

Medical:

When Dottie first arrived, she was in rough shape—covered in severe mange and suffering from swollen, infected eyes. With antibiotics, medicated baths, Simparica+ trio, and melatonin for hair growth, her transformation has been amazing. Her coat is almost fully grown back, and those beautiful blue eyes are now bright and clear. She’s come a long way not just medically, but emotionally too. Dottie shows no other medical issues currently, we do suggest keeping her on an allergy probiotic and medicated baths to keep her skin at bay. Her healing progress was very fast, so we want to maintain her healthy skin.

Little quirks:

Initially, Dottie and Kit were very unsure of human touch—they had clearly lived outdoors and didn’t know what it was like to be in a real home. But after two weeks of gentle love and patience, the switch flipped. Now they beg for attention and try to squeeze through the patio bars just to get to their foster mom or lounge on the patio couch under the misters. 

Dottie is also a full-on Frenchie talker. She’s vocal in the crate, especially when she’s ready to come in after potty time or play. Her “mean mug” squint in the sun is pure comedy—it’s just her way of trying to grab your attention, and it works every time.

Potty training? Dottie’s nailed it! She’s had only two pee accidents in her crate and none in the house. She’s still learning the doggie door, but she’s close to mastering it. For maintenance, she stays on a fish-based diet and takes a salmon probiotic each morning to help manage her mild allergies.

  Meet Kit:  Backyard Adventurer

Introducing Kit, an eight-month-old French Bulldog with a heart full of joy and a zest for life! Rescued from a Southern California shelter alongside her sister Dottie, Kit is the embodiment of happiness and playful energy. She’s always ready for fun, whether it’s romping around the yard, playing with toys, or engaging in spirited games with her sister and foster siblings.

Routine quirks:

Kit has a unique morning routine—she’s not a fan of being in her crate when the sun rises and will let you know it’s time to start the day with enthusiastic vocalizations. At night, she enjoys the cool Arizona evenings, often choosing to sleep outside on an elevated dog bed or lounge on the patio couch, basking in the fresh air. Her foster mom has even set up misters to keep the area comfortable for her and the other fosters napping on the couch. She knows exactly when everything is going to happen and if she does sleep in her crate at night, she comes out ready for the day jumping on her foster mom!

Medical/training life:

Despite a rough start in life, including a bout with mange, Kit has made a remarkable recovery with medicated baths, Simparica plus trio, melatonin hair growth supplement and antibiotic to clear up the skin infection she came in with. She’s spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and fully potty trained, using the doggie door like a pro. While she’s still mastering basic commands, her eagerness for treats and food makes training a fun experience but difficult at times. Kit shows no other signs of any medical issues currently and doc says she is pretty healthy for living outside! Keeping Kit on a fish based diet will also be key to her success with any skin issues or allergies, everything starts in the gut when it comes to frenchies. 

Bonded life:

Kit and Dottie are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They rely on each other for companionship and are often seen checking in with one another during playtime. Their platinum coats and endearing eyes make them a stunning duo. Sometimes their play can turn in a negative direction, but they are easily redirected. She is the annoying sister at times!

Ideal Home:

If you’re looking for a pair of affectionate, playful, and resilient French Bulldogs to join your family, Kit and Dottie are ready to bring double the love and laughter into your home. A patio to lounge on would be the cherry on top for these two outdoor enthusiasts! Since they are puppies, we still want them to be adopted to a home where consistent schedule plays a huge part in daily life. You can apply for Kit and Dottie on our website freedomfrenchierescue.org and check out how our adoption process works! Her adoption donation fee is $1100.00.

    Meet Moonie — the Velcro Frenchie you didn’t know you needed!

If you’re in the market for a professional cuddler with elite-level emotional support skills, allow us to introduce Moonie. This juicy little nugget is a stage-five clinger and proud of it! She will do anything just to be close to you — if she could crawl inside your skin just to snuggle, she probably would.

Moonie’s life:

Moonie is around 2 years old, weighs 17 pounds, and came to us from our shelter partners in Hesperia, CA. She arrived with another female Frenchie (not bonded), and both were still stitched up from recent C-sections — yikes. The shelter never removed the stitches, so our founder Mo and her son gently got them out the moment these girls landed safely in our care. Now, Moonie is healing beautifully and leaning hard into the sweet life.

Love and support:

This tenderhearted girl is submissive, docile, and tuned into your every emotion — she feels what you feel. Need a shadow who also moonlights as your therapist? She’s your girl. While she’ll peek in on playtime and follow the pack around like the curious little cutie she is, she’s mostly just observing for now, figuring it all out. Given time in a loving home, we know her personality will blossom. We are still learning so much more about her, as she is blossoming. This girl looovveeessss sunbathing in the morning sun and when she gets excited her excitement inside her is ready to explode you can see it in her endearing eyes. 

Training and medical:

Moonie is mostly potty trained and learning the doggie door at her own pace. She’s healthy overall, with just a few minor skin issues we have managed with ointment, baths and a proper diet (we’re working on growing back the fur on her tail). She shows no signs of major medical issue but like all our rescues we can’t predict their future, we can only treat what we or our vet see while with us. 

Foster pupdate: 

This girl is divine!! Her love is bigger than the Dodgers stadium!! It is absolutely unconditional. She aims to please her person, and I have not come across a rescue Frenchie that wants to snuggle this much. If you have a pool she loves sitting on the step next to you and floating in her floaty close by (with jacket on). She feels your emotions quickly and she is really good at reading the room, her fur friends and people. I don’t think she will be in FFR rescue long and if she is I will be shocked! Moonie is the total package!!! You must meet her!

The takeaway:

She’s got a big appetite, zero aggression, and a heart that could love an entire neighborhood. If you’re ready for a loyal little couch potato who just wants to adore you forever and a camping partner to keep you warm by the fire— Moonie is waiting. She is spay, vaccinated, and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $1050.00. You can apply for Moonie on our website 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 most males, but if challenged, he will stand his ground. Disagreements are rare and typically revolve around food, 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. 

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 fewer accidents. Consistence in his nutrition will be key to his long-term success. 

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 bones being his absolute favorite. He also 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 

Needs: Boba’s ideal home will be one that understands his medical needs and is committed to maintaining his specialized diet. He would do well as an only dog or with a compatible canine companion, 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 $1050.00. You can apply for Boba at freedomfrenchierescue.org, and check out the adoption process as well.

Meet Percy – The Gentle Soul Looking for Love! Percy joined the Freedom Frenchie Rescue squad from a Southern California shelter, where he was found as a stray with wounds on his neck and cheek. This brave little guy underwent surgery to treat an abscess and spent time recovering from a severe upper respiratory infection. Despite everything he’s been through, Percy is healing well and slowly learning to trust again. 

Personality Tinks: At just 21 pounds, Percy is a compact, solid little guy with a calm and gentle nature. He enjoys lounging outside in the sun or shade and will let you know when he’s ready to come back inside. He listens well, doesn’t mind being in his crate, and has the most adorable gurgly howl when he wants attention or needs to go outside. Percy is still overcoming the emotional scars of his past. He crouches low when approached and becomes stiff when picked up, but each day, he makes small steps toward trust. His foster mom says his dark, soulful eyes reflect his innocence and sweetness. Because energy is everything for Percy, his ideal home must be a positive, uplifting environment where he feels safe. 

Foster Pupdate: Percy is quiet unless he needs something he likes to just chill on his own and watch all the other fosters. He loves to lay in the morning sun and enjoys listening to the birds. We introduced him to yak bones, and he really enjoys them. We are still learning about him as he is still learning about us, but he is starting to understand his schedule and he is being vocal about having to go out and go potty. Behavior Spotlight: While he shows zero aggression, Percy does resource guard his food when eating in his crate. However, with proper guidance, he does well when eating around other dogs. He absolutely loves food and treats, which can be a great motivator as he continues to gain confidence. Home Needs: Percy needs a patient and loving home that will help him blossom into the happy, secure pup he was always meant to be. If you’re ready to give this gentle soul a second chance, apply to adopt Percy today! He is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered you can apply for Percy on our website at freedomfrenchierescue.org. Please go over our adoption process, his adoption donation fee is $1000.00

Meet Drift — Our Goofy Little Glide Machine!

Drift may sound like the name of a racecar driver, and honestly… it fits. This 8-month-old Frenchie came to us from Riverside County Shelter after being surrendered by his former owner due to IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). But don’t let the diagnosis fool you — this guy still knows how to party.

Sure, sometimes his booty drops and he scoots around like a chunky little Roomba, but then he’s right back up on all fours, zooming around like nothing happened. He’s got a built-in drift mode, and honestly? It’s kind of his signature move. Drift is a joyful, resilient little goofball with a huge appetite and an even bigger heart. He loves toys, tug-of-war with his bestie Kit, and every single snack you’re willing to share. He loves tug of war with his best friends Pinkey and Kit they play nonstop in the yard. Drift has the puppy power play with a lot of naps in between. 

Foster update:

According to his foster mom, “When he comes out of his crate in the morning, it’s like he’s revving up his engine just to make it over that little bar at the bottom of the crate — trying not to get his butt stuck in it. Once he’s out, he’s full throttle, ready to eat and run outside to play with his friends!” He thrives on grass and carpet, where he can really dig in and get a good grip with those determined little toes. “He’s just got a huge heart and wants to be loved,” says his foster mom. “He really is such an easy guy — I hope someone gives him the chance he deserves.”

Therapy at home:

Drift is currently enjoying splashy water therapy sessions in his foster mom’s pool and is taking Gabapentin for comfort — but he may not need it long-term. We can’t predict the future of his mobility, but we can tell you this: he’s happy, hilarious, and full of love.

Training aspects:

He’s potty trained, though he sometimes leaks a bit of pee when overly excited (which, let’s be real, just means you’re his favorite person). He controls his bowels and prefers to do his business outside like the good boy he is.

As we are still learning about Drift and has only been with us a month and a half he is doing well. The only issue we really have is finding a dedicated foster for this guy! He may drift, but he’s steady when it comes to love. Drift is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped; his adoption donation fee is $800.00. You can apply for Drift on our website and our adoption process is there as well.
