Welcome to Freedom Frenchie Rescue Adoptables

Meet Westin The Spicy Football, Looking for His Forever Home! 

Westin is a 7.5 to 8 year-old, 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.

Westin’s Journey

Westin 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!

Westin has continued to make progress, though he remains independent and strong-willed. He mostly keeps to himself, preferring to observe rather than actively engage with other dogs. He is warming up though!! His favorite spot? Right next to Mo, watching the playful chaos unfold. Whether she is at her desk, her living room floor with others, or washing dishes, Westin is under her feet along three other foster siblings. 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. As like us adults the order 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 at his own pace.

Westin loves:

Sunbathing.

Occasionally playing with toys. 

Treats are his love language! 

Baths & wrinkle cleaning (if done gently).

LOVES riding in his wagon on walks with his foster family! 

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, only Mo and sometimes her son can do it. Now she carries him around like the little football he is! 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 and live in the me now world, 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, Westins adoption donation fee is $975.00. Apply to adopt Westin at freedomfrenchierescue.org! He will get a final vet check during his adoption process.

Meet Durban The Sweetest Puppy Mill Survivor!

Durban is estimated at a new 1 year old and is a resilient and loving French Bulldog who joined the Freedom Squad as part of the puppy mill release of 13 dogs in December. At first, he was shy and withdrawn, unsure of what it meant to be part of a family. But with time, patience, and love, he has blossomed into a confident and affectionate companion!

Personality:

Durban has discovered the joy of cuddling on the couch with his humans, soaking up all the pets and attention he can get. He adores his foster sibling, Mavis, and although he was initially hesitant about playing with other dogs, he has started initiating playtime as he settles into his new life. He likes to jump on and of the conch getting Mavis to interact with him then he will roll halfway on his side. He can get a little spicy as he is still learning that it is ok to play and nothing is going to happen to him.

Habits and Health:

Like most puppy mill rescues, Durban is still learning the basics of being a pet. His potty training is improving each day, but transitioning from a life of neglect takes time. He is learning to eat from a bowl, resist the habit of eating his poop, and understand where it’s appropriate to go potty. With continued patience and guidance, he will thrive in a loving home. On a funny note sometimes, he likes to pleasure himself, and his foster mom laughs while deterring him from that aspect of his life. Come on we have all seen the videos its hilarious, but she is getting him to understand that it is not ok in front of company. Durban shows no signs of medical issues and seems to be a healthy fella. He does have dry eye like the other survivors that came in with him. Treating with an over-the-counter eye drop seems to be working for him!

One thing Durban does not enjoy is being crated or left alone, he finds comfort in being near his people. After being in a kennel most of his life with several other dogs and has finally found love who would want to be crated again!  At under a year old, he still has puppy tendencies, including chewing on things that pique his interest. However, he is very responsive to correction his foster mom simply tells him to drop it, and he listens immediately. He is a gentle, eager-to-please boy who just wants to be loved!

Are you taking me home:

Like all puppy mill survivors, Durban is experiencing so many firsts, his own food bowl, a cozy dog bed, fun toys, and a spot on the couch. He is ready for a forever home that will continue showing him the love and patience he deserves. Could you be the one to give Durban the happy ending he’s been waiting for? His adoption donation fee is $1000.00 and you can apply on our website freedomfrenchierescue.org. Durban is vaccinated, neutered and microchipped, located in Glendale, AZ.

Meet Moose: The toy stasher!

Moose is 2.5 years young, and a 27-pound French-English Bulldog mix with a soft brindle coat and a heart full of gratitude. Hie eyes are so endearing and full of life when he looks at you! This goofy, lovable boy is as unique as they come and is ready to find his forever family!

A Little About Moose

Moose is already potty trained and loves being close to his human. He’s also independent enough to enjoy playing with his toys, which he lovingly collects in his crate to build a “treasure box” of his favorite things. His quirky, funny personality will bring endless joy to your home!

Moose’s Journey

Moose came to us from East Valley Humane Society as a stray. When he arrived, he had mange, missing fur on his face, legs, and back, and a large mass forming in one of his floppy ears. After surgery and proper care, he’s now healthy and thriving.

He also requires eye drops for dry eyes and has recovered well from a past eye ulcer that was caught and treated early. Moose’s resilience and gratitude for his new lease on life are evident in everything he does.

Moose’s Personality

• Goofy and Endearing: He has the cutest lower lip and a quirky personality. Sometimes, Moose will freeze mid-play if you call his name, giving you a comical look as though he’s deep in thought. His excited, wobbly run toward his human is the definition of pure joy.

• Loyal and Loving: Moose is very attached to his foster mom and follows her everywhere, showing his appreciation with his soulful, endearing eyes.

• Independent Fun: Moose loves rubbing his body on the carpet, grass, or fresh blankets, making them “his” with his signature Moose style.

Compatibility

• Dogs: Moose gets along well with most female dogs and some submissive males who let him do his own thing. This guy will definitely be easy to get along with other dogs after time and positive reinforcement. He enjoys his toys and playtime but doesn’t like to compete for attention with other dogs when his human is nearby, a common trait for his breed.

• Crate: His crate is his safe space, and he enjoys retreating there to relax with his treasures. Moose will let you know when he’s ready to come out or needs to go outside.

Training and Progress

• Moose is learning to use the doggie door and making strides in socialization.

• His foster mom carefully observes his interactions with other dogs, and Moose has shown significant improvement in his behavior over the last few days.

• Redirection works well for Moose when he gets too excited, and he’s continuing to grow in his ability to coexist peacefully with others.

Quirks and Traits

• Moose’s goofy quirks, like rolling on fresh blankets or freezing mid-play, make him a constant source of laughter and joy.

• He’s a thoughtful little guy, often seeming to say, “Thank you for saving me!” through his playful antics and loving gaze.

Care Notes

• Moose requires daily eye drops to manage dry eyes and prevent future issues.

• A patient adopter who can provide consistency and gentle redirection will help him continue to thrive.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Moose might be the perfect match for you. He’s ready to bring his quirky charm, playful antics, and unconditional love into your life.

Are you ready to give Moose the forever home he deserves? He is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Adoption donation fee $1000.00, please apply for moose on our website. 

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

This 6 year old angel is a French bulldog mix full of endlessly loyalty

Astra is a six-year-old French Bulldog mix with a story that’s 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, which 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!!

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 almost 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

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 being fostered in Scottsdale, vaccinated, microchipped, and spay. Adoption donation fee $800.00, please apply for Astra on our site.

Meet Paris not from France.

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.

Potty Training & Daily Life

Paris is mostly potty trained and does her best to let her humans know when she needs to go out. The only times she has accidents in her crate is when it’s uncontrollable, but she does her best to communicate!

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, but she also makes sure to let them know when something isn’t going her way. Paris is still learning how to play with toys and is working on resource guarding, especially when it comes to food in her crate and possible toys. To ensure her comfort and safety, she eats in her crate like the other foster pups, but if another dog comes near while she’s eating, she lets them know she’s not a fan! Outside of the crate, she does wonderfully and enjoys chasing her foster siblings around, though she sometimes hesitates, trying to figure out her place in the fun. She is unsure when they are playing if it is fighting or playing and leans more towards aggressive behavior. 

Pack Life & Training Needs

Paris is still learning how to navigate pack dynamics, so a slow transition into a home with another dog will be key. The 3-3-3 rule will apply to help her adjust successfully. She’s also working on understanding personal space with both dogs and humans, but she is absolutely soaking up the love! 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 is more dominant, but she is fresh to the rescue so once she starts settling in she will understand what it is like to be with a family that loves her. She will need persistence and guidance to do that. She will do best with a more submissive dog, (one dog family) or as an only dog. 

Medical Status

Paris is medically sound, with no extreme health concerns aside from her ongoing digestive management. Since she recently switched to her new prescription diet, we are still monitoring her response, as food transitions take about 10 days. Getting her diarrhea under control will be the key to her long-term success. 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 spay, her adoption donation fee is $1000.00. Located in Mesa, AZ

  Meet Sookie: The Snuggle Bug

     Sookie is a 3-year-old, short and stocky French bulldog who is as lovable as she is chunky. This little snuggle bug adores being close to her foster human sibling and thrives on affection. Suki is fully potty trained and gets along well with her doggie friends, making her a great addition to a household with other pets. 

She came to us through an owner who said they purchased her to save her from an unfortunate situation on the side of the road, but we aren’t sure of all the details. Despite her past, Sookie has flourished in her foster home, showing her sweet and affectionate side every day. 

Sookie does have some ear issues that require regular maintenance. Her ears need to be cleaned every other day currently, and steroid cream is applied to reduce inflammation—just part of the typical care for a French bulldog she just needs extra to keep the inflammation down. Her ear is is floppy because she received zero medical treatment until we got her. When she is placed in her finally home cleaning her ears every 3-5 days is a must. With consistent care and love, she will continue to thrive. 

Sookie is very affectionate and craves attention. She likes to sleep with her person and does not seem to like a crate. I left it out for her and she never used it. This girl does have a bit of an aggressive side when she is provoked. Her potty training is still adjusted but she will go when she is outside and is currently redirected when having an accident in the house which seems to be really helping her learn that potty is for outside. With some consistency and a strict schedule with heavenly praise she is picking it up faster and faster. 

Toys are her complete jam, she absolutely loves carrying them around and flipping them all over the house. Sookie loves all dogs as if they are just like her and we all know that some frenchies only tend to like their own kind. She chases her foster girlfriends around and gives them a run for their money! 

Sookie would be a perfect companion for anyone looking for a loyal, cuddly, and friendly dog who will love you unconditionally and will be your complete shadow. Located in Phoenix, AZ, she is vaccinated, microchipped, and spay. Adoption donation fee $1000.00.

Meet Whiskey!

Whiskey is a charming French Bulldog who joined our rescue after being found as a stray in Huntington Beach, California. We often wonder what happened in his past, as he is afraid of men. BUT his foster has updated they are working on slow introduction and learning not to fear.  Whiskey gets along beautifully with other dogs and enjoys spending time with his foster siblings, whether they’re playing or soaking up the sun.

What We Love About Whiskey:

• Great Listener: Whiskey is learning commands quickly and listens very well. Per his foster, he has already learned in a few days sit & paw! 

• Well-Mannered: He sits patiently for treats, waits politely for his meals, and adores getting his booty scratched.

• Potty Trained: No accidents in his crate, whether overnight or while you’re out during the day.

• Social & Playful: Though he might need a slow introduction to new doggy siblings, Whiskey enjoys companionship and is a happy, playful guy. He does like to step back from playing and bask in the sun or get love from his foster mama. 

A Few Things to Note:

• Whiskey was recently neutered and is improving on his humping behavior, which should continue to subside.

• He might experience mild anxiety in new situations, so a smooth and steady transition will help him feel at ease. The “3-3-3 rule” (3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn routines, and 3 months to feel at home) will apply to him.

• Whiskey is a healthy boy but requires regular care to keep him in top shape. He’s prone to some yeastiness, so cleaning his ears and paws regularly is a must. He’s currently on a salmon probiotic to support his skin and coat health.

Whiskey is still getting settled in, and while we’re learning more about his personality, one thing is clear: he’s ready for a forever home that will provide him with love, structure, and belly rubs galore. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion who will bring joy to your life, Whiskey is your guy!

Ready to meet Whiskey? Fill out an adoption application today and give this sweet boy the happy ending he deserves! Whiskey is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped; his adoption donation fee is $1050.00 please apply on our website.

Meet Lucy The Sweet & Sun-Loving Frenchie! 

Lucy is a 3-year-old 17lb French Bulldog who recently joined the Freedom Squad from the Yuma shelter. She was found as a stray with another Frenchie, but now she’s, safe, on her healing journey and ready to find her forever home! 

Personality: 

Lucy is an incredibly sweet and docile girl who enjoys the simple pleasures in life especially basking in the sun on her elevated bed while watching the world go by. While she’s mostly easygoing, she’s not afraid to let other dogs know if she doesn’t like something, but she prefers to relax and take in the glory of her surroundings. Lucy is very well-behaved, extremely photogenic, and adores cuddles. She loves to be close and in your personal space, soaking up all the love she can get. Lucy is learning to not resource guard her human but as everyone that owns a Frenchie knows that is one of their traits. We went to her photo shoot and she had an absolutely blast following photographer Kim around and was very into the camera with all its sounds! 

Training & Behavior: 

She is mostly potty trained, and she just needs a consistent schedule to prevent occasional crate accidents. Lucy Knows basic commands and is eager to please, especially if there is a treat involved. She enjoys her breakfast and evening snack, just a little foodie at heart! Medical Notes: Lucy is in great health overall! She has some polyps in her ears, which are being managed with medication and steroid cream. Her ears will need to be cleaned every few days to keep inflammation down, but our vet does not believe surgery is necessary at this time. Lucy recently received the Bordetella vaccine and is recovering from a minor cold, but she is doing amazing and finished up her antibiotics. Her spay incision reopened before she came into our care, but she was immediately stitched back up. She’s healing beautifully and enjoying her new, lazy life!

 Ideal Home:

 Lucy will need a family willing to transition her into their home at her own pace. As with all rescues, everything is new, and she may be unsure at first. A patient, loving adopter who will give her the time and space to decompress, will be rewarded with a loyal, affectionate companion who loves to snuggle and be by your side. She is a great traveler and loves going for walks and being out in public. She does go at her own pace, and you may have to carry her a bit but Lucy is so worth it! Are you ready to give sweet Lucy the forever home she deserves? She is vaccinated, spay and microchipped, Lucy adoption donation fee is $1000.00, located in Mesa, AZ. Please apply for her on our website! 

 Sweet, sweet boy Kush!

   Meet Kush “He a cool sweet boy!”

Kush came to the Freedom Squad as one of the few males released from a puppy mill in early December. This little guy has been through a lot he needed surgery to remove polyps from his anal glands, but now he’s doing so much better! No more tummy troubles, and he’s fully potty trained using a doggie door.

At his foster home, Kush enjoys hanging out by the pool (always supervised!) and playing with other dogs. Since being neutered, he has calmed down a lot and gets along well with his canine friends. However, he did have one resource-guarding incident when a visiting family dog didn’t respect his space. Given this, Kush would do best in a home with a submissive male or a female dog who respects boundaries. He does seem to get overwhelmed with many dogs, so a home where either a single dog or one other would be great for him.

Personality & Preferences:

Loves to play with toys & is very treat motivated, this guy enjoys walks but expects to be carried back. Kush is friendly, affectionate, and truly a cool dude according to his foster mom. He has to have a structured environment that follows the 3-3-3 rule when other dogs are present in the home (please read up on that and the rescue will send you an article).

Since coming from puppy mill environment, he did not know what treats were, toys, dog bed or love. He has since learned that being loved is the biggest part of his day. Like the other puppy mill releases we have had they thrive off love and a consistent schedule. 

Kush is a true survivor who has excelled in his foster home. He’s looking for a patient and loving family that understands puppy mill dog’s he loves playing with other dogs, but mostly on his terms and once he has decompressed in transition. With time and consistency, Kush will make an incredible companion and a fun playmate.

Foster mom update:

Keep your pantry doors closed, trash cans out of reach, and don’t leave snacks on your coffee table. Feed Kush separate from other pups, not due to aggressive behaviors, due to he’ll eat their food too! He enjoys homemade food with pumpkin! Kush also gets a daily probiotic that has worked wonders on his breath! Daily salmon bite for healthy skin! He does well with daily paw care and it helps to keep him from licking. He has a Frenchie foster sister and golden retriever foster sister. He gets along well with both girls nut we followed the 333 rule and his transition was successful. (that is a must with the adoptive family).

Could Kush be the perfect match for you? Apply to adopt this cool Frenchie today! Fill out an adoption application today and give this sweet boy the happy ending he deserves!

 Meet Moo Moo the Miracle Frenchie! 

Moo Moo’s journey is nothing short of amazing! This adorable 3-year-old, 18-pound French Bulldog came to us from a Southern California shelter after being found as a stray. When she arrived, she had no use of her back legs, and the shelter placed her on medication while she waited out her five-day stray hold. Then, something incredible happened after just a few days of crate rest and medication, Moo Moo was back up on her feet, running, playing, and proving she wasn’t ready to give up! She was set to be euthanized, but her story gained attention on social media, and the Freedom Squad stepped in just in time to save her, whether she could walk or not. Since then, Moo Moo has had X-rays, which show that while her discs do rub, with the right diet and probiotics, she’s doing fantastic! While there’s always a possibility she could experience mobility issues in the future, right now, she’s thriving, zooming around and living her best life like nothing ever happened.

 Foster Pupdate: 

While she loves her daily exercise we have to keep it at a minimum. Boy, does she love my Husband she curls up to him every chance she gets. Moo Moo is potty trained and on a raw diet, we are trying to put some weight on her as well. She loves to play with her foster sibling’s ( she has 4), but she is not a fan of Coco and Tank. Moo Moo is a total lovebug! She adores her foster dad, curling up next to him or standing on her back legs for attention (which he quickly rewards with picking her up so she isn’t on her back legs and cuddles). She’s playful, loves her toys, and gets adorably sassy with her foster fur siblings. She’s potty trained, knows basic commands, and learns quickly from her pack. Her foster family absolutely adores her, and while it’ll be bittersweet to see her go, they’re so proud to have given her the care she needed to get ready for her forever home. If it was not for them she would not have been pulled from the shelter so quickly. Moo Moo’s

Adopt Biscotti: A Sweet and Spirited French Bulldog Ready for Her Forever Home

Meet Biscotti, an adorable 2-year-old French Bulldog with a heart full of love and a spirit that can’t be broken. Biscotti came to us from a heartbreaking puppy mill situation, but despite her past, she’s blossoming into a sweet, playful, and curious girl who’s ready to find a family that will give her the care and affection she truly deserves.

What We Know About Biscotti:

• Personality: Biscotti is a cuddler through and through. She loves to snuggle up and fall asleep with her favorite human by her side, and she’s the kind of dog who will melt right into you at night. Despite her rough start, she’s a happy, affectionate little ham with a personality that shines through.

• Special Needs: Biscotti has dry eye, due to an ulcer that's healed. But nothing that slows her down too much. She’s still learning to trust and adjust, but every day she’s making progress and gaining confidence.

• Playful & Social: Biscotti loves to play, and she’s a little mouthy menace when it comes to having fun with her doggy siblings! She’s also the sweetest at grooming her pack at night, making sure everyone is tucked in. She’s not overly social with other dogs outside her home, but she adores her foster pack and gets along wonderfully with them.

• Endearing Quirks: Biscotti occasionally sneezes in the cutest way that will remind you of Donald Duck—trust us, it’s the best thing ever! She’s also curious and always checking every nook and cranny of her environment, making sure nothing goes unnoticed. Her love for adventure keeps her on the go, and she’s full of energy, but not in an overly hyper way. She just has more endurance than some of the other dogs in the house.

• Training & Potty Habits: Biscotti is mostly house-trained, with just an occasional accident. Her foster mom is working hard to pick up on her cues, and she’s great about going potty outside with the rest of the pack. She’s very trustworthy when it comes to doing her business!

• Car Rides: Biscotti is still getting used to car rides but isn’t anxious or uncomfortable in the car. She rides like a good little girl in the passenger seat, observing the world around her.

• Health: Biscotti is generally healthy, though her facial paralysis and occasional clumsiness mean she sometimes needs a little extra help navigating. She’s still full of life and love, and her endearing personality more than makes up for any quirks.

Why Biscotti Needs You:

Biscotti is a one-of-a-kind girl who will thrive in a home where she can continue to build trust, receive lots of cuddles, and get plenty of playtime. She’s looking for a family who will be patient with her special needs while cherishing her for the sweet, funny, and lovable dog she is. Biscotti’s adoption will require a family that understands her quirks, but in return, she will offer endless affection, joyful antics, and cuddles that’ll melt your heart.

If you’re looking for a sweet, curious, and affectionate French Bulldog who just needs a little time and love to blossom, Biscotti might be the perfect match for you!

Buddy our Little Elder Introvert: Toy obsessed Yes!

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 a model citizen in his foster home, showing no signs of aggression and living peacefully with the other dogs—though 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, 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.

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.

  Meet Gelato – Sweet as Her Name! 

Her name says it all—sweet, sweet, and even sweeter like Italian Ice cream! Gelato is a 1.5-year-old Frenchie with a heart full of love and a story of resilience. Rescued from a puppy mill with 12 others, Gelato spent the beginning of her life in a kennel with several other dogs being bred like a lab rat. She’s embracing her second chance in life, slowly but surely gaining confidence, cuddles, and even a little extra weight! Her transformation has been nothing short of incredible! This girl has truly embraced her new lease on life, and she’s ready to find her fur ever family.

When Gelato arrived, she was underweight, eating her feces, scrounging for food, and suffering from terrible dry eye and diarrhea. But thanks to her dedicated foster mom, Gelato has made a complete 180. She’s been on prescription eye drops, fattened up, and is no longer engaging in those old habits. She’s also learning what it means to just be a dog—playing with toys, taking treats, enjoying a cozy dog bed, and soaking up all the love a family has to offer.

About Gelato:

• Age: Young adult

• Health: Healthy with no current medical concerns, but needs a consistent diet to help manage any allergies or yeast. She may need prescription eye drops to maintain her dryness. For what she has been through she is currently medically healthy.

• Temperament: Sweet, loving, and social. Gelato adores other dogs and is used to running in a pack but would also do fine as an only dog with the right family.

• Almost potty trained, as she prefers to not sleep in a crate she doesn’t mind being in one while in transition or when not home. 

• Thrives with consistency and a set schedule to help her continue her success.

What Gelato Needs:

• A loving, patient family willing to continue her journey.

• A home that keeps her on a healthy diet to avoid potential allergies.

• Someone who will embrace her playful, sweet personality and shower her with affection.

Foster Report:

While she’s shy at first, Gelato warms up quickly and is learning what love, safety, and comfort truly feel like. She does well with other dogs after a slow introduction and has happily fallen into step with her foster home’s Frenchie crew. Gelato has come so far and is truly enjoying life for the first time. She’s ready to bring joy, snuggles, and her adorable Frenchie charm to her new home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a heart full of love, Gelato might just be your perfect match!

Meet Grumps Manager of Toy’s r Us

This guy was welcomed to the #freedomsquad from a SoCal shelter a few weeks ago and he is 1.5 years old and full of energy and attention. Grumps may look a little grumpy, but don’t let his expression fool you, he is a playful, happy-go-lucky guy with a love for toys like no other! Found as a stray in Southern California, Grumps made his way to our rescue, and now he’s looking for his forever home.

About Grumps:

If there’s one thing to know about Grumps, it’s that he LOVES to play. Toys are his world, he’s the ultimate toy stasher, always making sure he has a stuffy in his mouth as he zooms around. He’s full of energy and prefers playing solo, often ignoring other dogs while he enjoys his treasure trove of toys. While he can be a little protective of his toys, it’s easily managed with the right structure.

Grumps Ideal Home:

A family that understands he needs time to decompress when transitioning.

A home where he can play to his heart’s content, surrounded by toys taking inventory.

A patient adopter who will help him continue his potty training, he’s mostly there but may mark in a new environment.

Someone who can work with his dislike of crates and covering it completely helps him settle faster.

Why You’ll Love Grumps:

He has the most endearing eyes, even when he looks a little grumpy!

He’s learning to walk on a leash and most of the time with a toy still in his mouth!

He enjoys playing with other dogs but prefers doing his own thing.

He’s a healthy, happy boy with no known medical issues.

Foster Update:

He loves his toys and loves to play fetch. He is a big smuggler. Grumps plays really well with my kids. He doesn’t seem too interested in my dogs other than trying to get my affection if I’m paying attention to them. I think he would be fine in a home with another dog, but the 3-3-3 rule is a must if there are other dogs. He has mastered the leash and loves to go for walks. The crate is not his thing at all…. but he does not mind being on a leash in my kitchen as long as he’s around people. Grumps is now potty  trained and is not marking anything in my house other than the first day. This fella is a really great dog, and honestly we would adopt but we already have. 

Grumps is a playful, toy-loving Frenchie who just needs the right home to let his fun-loving personality shine. If you’re ready for a high-energy pup who will keep you entertained with his toy obsession, Grumps is your guy! He is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered, his adoption donation fee is $1050.00 and located in Scottsdale, AZ. Please apply on our site freedomfrenchierescue.org

 Meet Matilda, the Sweetest Little Tripod! 

Matilda has returned to us due to some unforeseen circumstances. She is a three-year-old French Bulldog who has joined the “freedom squad” from a Southern California shelter. This resilient girl was likely hit by a car and left alone with two fractures in her back leg. Although it was uncertain if she could make it to Arizona for surgery, her incredible foster family stepped up and brought her home. By the time Matilda arrived, her leg was already healing in an unexpected way, so her right leg was amputated. Now, she’s the cutest little tripod, and it doesn’t slow her down one bit! 

Matilda’s Personality 

Matilda is pure sweetness and resilience. After her surgery, she was already trying to play with her foster siblings, showing her playful spirit and love for life. She has zero signs of aggression and is happiest either playing or observing her furry friends. Matilda loves to soak up the sun on her elevated bed, watching her friends run around or joining in on the fun when she feels like it. Her foster mom is working with her on leash training, and although she can be a bit overwhelmed in busy places, Matilda shows bravery every day.

 The Sweetest Quirks 

One of Matilda’s cutest traits is her little tongue that pokes out while she’s licking her chops—she’s adorable! She’s not a fan of crates and will whimper if she’s alone in one, but she’s adjusting to her safe space and loves to cuddle up with her foster dad after a long day. This girl has been through a lot, and despite everything, she’s incredibly loving, sweet, and playful.

 Matilda’s Dream Family

 Matilda is looking for a forever family who will appreciate her resilient spirit and give her all the love she deserves. She would do well with other calm dogs who she can play with or simply enjoy their company. Matilda needs a family that understands her journey and will let her explore new adventures at her own pace. Are you ready to give Matilda the life she deserves? This amazing tripod girl is ready to fill your home with love, sweetness, and her unbreakable spirit. She is vaccinated, spay and microchipped and ready for her furever home. Please apply for Matilda on our website, adoption donation fee $900.00. Located in Lake Havasu, AZ 

Meet Mavis The Sweetest Little Doll Baby

Mavis is a stunning four-year-old French Bulldog who came to us from a Southern California shelter. Weighing in at a petite 16 pounds, she was super skinny when she first arrived, but with plenty of love and care, she has put on the weight she needed and is now perfectly round and adorable!

Mavis is an absolute sweetheart with a laid-back, affectionate personality. She loves nothing more than to cuddle up beside you, soaking in all the love and attention she can get. She is a true lapdog, always happy to be near her humans.

She gets along beautifully with other dogs and enjoys playing with her foster siblings. Whether it’s playtime or snuggle time, Mavis is always happy to be part of the fun.

Health & Care:

Mavis does have allergies and is currently taking Zenrelia and that will most likely need to be continued. She has patches of hair thinning, and we started that to give her more of a boost. With a healthy diet she may be able to get off the medication in the future. She has had hematomas in her ears, they were already hard so no surgery would have fixed that. With her allergies and her already having hematoma ear she was out on prednisone and a steroid ear cream to keep the inflammation down and it is working out great and her ears are much easier to clean. Keeping up on her weekly medicated baths and ear cleanings are a must. Mavis has a sensitive stomach, but with the right food adjustments, she does great!

Best Traits:

Mavis is already potty trained and crate trained. She aims to please and knows basic commands. She likes to get rowdy with her foster siblings then jumps on the couch to chill with her foster parents making sure she is the one that is getting petted the most! Personal space? You will have none of that when it comes to Mavis. She is great with her baths and doesn’t mind them at all, as it relieves her itchy skin. If you want calm, gentle and no personal space Mavis is your girl!!

Take Me Home:

Mavis is a perfect fit for any home looking for a sweet, easygoing, and loving companion. Her kind spirit and wonderful personality make her a joy to be around, and she is ready to find her forever family! Could you be the one to give Mavis the love she deserves? Apply at freedomfrenchierescue.org. Mavis adoption donation fee is $1000.00 and she is vaccinated, microchipped and spay. She is located in Glendale, AZ

 Meet Sapphire Snuggle Cuddle Ball of Fun and Love 

Sapphire’s journey hasn’t been an easy one, but her resilience shines through. She was found wandering the streets of Mesa, Arizona, and taken in by a Good Samaritan who rushed her to an emergency vet. The cost of care was overwhelming, and that’s when our rescue stepped in to give her the second chance she deserved. 

About Sapphire: 

Sapphire is an absolute lovebug! Her affection for people is undeniable she craves attention and enjoys being the center of it all, just like any Frenchie. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and adores playing tug-of-war with her foster siblings and rolling around in the yard. She always comes in a hot dirty mess but she doesn’t mind having a bath and getting cleaned up.

 Medical Journey: 

Sapphire has been to the vet multiple times as we worked to uncover what was going on with her health. After extensive testing and x-rays, the reality is that Sapphire is permanently incontinent. She doesn’t let this slow her down one bit! When she gets excited or starts running around, she dribbles pee. Initially, she had a significant amount of debris and blockage in her intestines, but with dedicated care, we have cleared most of it out. While she has made improvements with medications and the right diet, incontinence is something she and her future family will need to manage. Sometimes, when she’s playing and having a blast, she may drop a surprise turd but trust us, her joyful spirit makes up for it! 

Sapphire’s Ideal Home:

A patient and loving family who understands her special needs. A home where she can be part of the action she thrives on attention! A family willing to manage her incontinence with the right routine. A household that will respect her one quirk: she prefers to eat separately due to mild food resource guarding. 

Why You’ll Love Sapphire: 

She is crate-trained and sleeps in her crate at night. She listens well we tell her to go to her crate, and she obeys! She’s highly treat-motivated and always eager to please. She is full of life, love, and endless joy! Sapphire has embraced her new life with open paws, and now she’s ready for her forever home. 

If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and resilient Frenchie who will bring endless joy (and maybe a few accidental surprises), Sapphire is the one for you! Interested in giving Sapphire her forever home? She been vaccinated, spay and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $975 please apply for her on freedomfrenchierescue.org, located in Mesa, AZ

 Meet Birdie The Ultimate Velcro Frenchie! 

Birdie the Velcro Frenchie is a 4-year-old bundle of joy and weighs about 23lbs. Her beautiful lilac brindle coat shines as bright as her personality. Birdie came to us as an owner surrender which we rarely take in, but there was something special about this girl. This girl is an absolute sweetheart with a big personality! She might bark and act timid when she first meets you, but don’t be fooled within 24 hours, she’ll be glued to you like super glue. When she joined our Freedom Squad, we let her settle in at her own pace, offering treats and reassurance. Now, she’s a total lovebug who adores belly rubs, kisses, and, of course, treats! 

Personality & Quirks: 

Velcro Dog Alert! Once she trusts you, she will not leave your side. Birdie loves cuddles & netflix time. If you’re on the couch, be ready for snuggles and belly rub requests! She loves toys and is a playtime enthusiast, especially with the balls she is a ball brain girl!! Birdie is already potty trained, and leash trained it is easy for her to get her routine down and figure out how the lay of the land but she will be by your side the whole time and watch your other pets to follow and learn from them. Evening walks are a must, she really enjoys the stroll with her foster dad and sis. 

The Codependent Queen: 

Birdie is particularly attached to her foster human sister she does not like being out of her sight. If you’re looking for an independent dog, Birdie is not your girl. She thrives on companionship and routine, so a patient, loving home that understands her clingy nature is a must. She absolutely has to be by your side and under your feet at all times. Once she starts settling in she will run with the pack and enjoy being a part of the family. 

Resource Guarding: 

Like most Frenchie's, Birdie does have some mild resource guarding with her food and a few toys, but she’s not aggressive about it. Deterring her from that behavior is key to her not falling deeper into resource guarding as she gets older. She just needs an understanding family who will respect her space when she’s enjoying her favorite things. 

Health & Care:

 She has no major medical issues but like all Frenchie’s she has allergies and key to maintaining that is a healthy diet, no chicken, and fish probiotic. Benadryl will during the season changes. She should have a medicated bath weekly as well. Is Birdie Your Perfect Match? This needy, codependent, freeloading Frenchie is searching for her forever couch ,one that comes with endless belly rubs, tasty treats, and all the love she deserves. If you’re ready for a clingy, affectionate, and absolutely adorable best friend, Birdie is waiting for you! You can apply for Birdie on our website freedomfrenchierescue.org. Her adoption donation fee is $1050.00, she is vaccinated, spay and microchipped, Birdie is located in Mesa, AZ.
