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 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 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 Tillie - Army Crawl Expert Lover

Say hello to Tillie, a 2.5-year-old French Bulldog sweetheart weighing in at 23 lbs with the most soulful eyes and a heart that just needs a little time to trust again.

Medical Journey:

Tillie joined the Freedom Squad from Long Beach Shelter and arrived with painful, swollen ears from an untreated infection. Thanks to daily medication, a round of antibiotics, and a steroid injection, she’s already feeling so much better—but she still has one more vet appointment to double-check those ears. Ongoing ear care will be essential to keep her comfy and healthy.

Tillie is a gentle soul who’s still learning that humans can be kind. She may crouch low when approached but sit down on her level and she’ll army crawl right into your lap, quietly asking for some love and scratches. She buries her head into your lap and looks at you with her eyes so big the white part glows. Once she bonds with you, she becomes your shadow—and nothing makes her happier than zooming around the yard in the morning sunshine. Then she put the breaks on and pauses hard to look back to see if you are watching her show off her skills. 

She does well with other dogs on her terms. Tillie prefers calmer, more submissive companions and would thrive in a home with just one other respectful pup—or as the only queen of the castle. She’s had to defend herself before (it shows in her demeanor at times), so it takes her time to feel safe. Resource guarding around food while she is in her crate has shown up in her foster home, so we remind her that she doesn’t need to fight for love or meals anymore.

Foster pupdate:

This girl is a ball of life. When she first came in, she was a bit aggressive and would be in the mix trying to check the house pets. I have learned her demeanor pretty well and she does better with male dogs and submissive females. 333 rule was applied to her, and it has been successful. OMG this little lady is a doll we cuddle snuggle and she loves playing with Drift they are buddies but he is a puppy and plays a lot, so she has no issue putting him in his place. She is mostly potty trained and has to be on a schedule. Tillies’ ears are much better, she is a yeasty girl so keeping them clean is a must. We do feed her in her crate but overtime in a house with less dogs Tillie will adapt and she is very teachable, listening and understanding the rules. 

Bath time? No problem. Lap cuddles? Yes, please. Trust? That will take time, but once you’ve earned it, Tillie will love you with her whole heart.

Ideal Home:

Patient and experienced with shy or fearful dogs. Either a solo-dog home or with one calm, submissive dog. Willing to feed separately and respect her boundaries until she understands the schedule and other pets in the home. The adopter must be committed to continuing her journey of healing and trust, and work with her daily.

Tillie has survived a rough start, but she’s ready to learn what love and safety truly feel like. If you’re the kind of person who believes in second chances and soulful connections, Tillie is waiting for you. Because every broken heart deserves to be whole again.

Apply to adopt Tillie at freedomfrenchierescue.org, her adoption donation fee is $1050.00. She is vaccinated, microchipped, and spay. She does have one more vet appointment in a week. Currently fostered in Mesa, AZ.  

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. His ultimate perk is chasing lizards, he will watch the wall and scan every section thinking he will get a lizard! Boba is full time entertainment

Training Quirks: Boba is also quite the well-mannered pup! He knows basic commands, including “sit” and “wait” for treats, and he’s very patient in his crate. His house training is improving, but due to his medical history, controlling his bowels has been a challenge. Thankfully, with a carefully managed diet, he’s making great strides and having 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 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.  

    Murphy — 4 years old / 22 lbs of solid sass / Fluent in Frenchie

Looking for someone who loves long talks, squeaky toys, and doesn’t mind being followed everywhere like a shadow with vocal cords.

Notes from Murphy himself:

My name is Murphy, but you can call me The Murph. I was surrendered by the same family that gave the freedom squad Birdie (yeah, the drama runs deep), but I’m not here to dwell—I’m here to flirt and find the perfect home where I can cuddle and have deep meaningful conversations. 

I’m not like other Frenchie’s. I talk. And not just bark—I mean full-blown jaw-chattering, throat-gargling, howling monologues. I will talk my way out of a crate, out of trouble, and into your heart. My foster mom says it’s like living with a furry narrator who never clocks out.

Let’s talk stats:

He is a 10/10, no notes. The vet actually did a double-take (as he is use to sick dogs from the rescue). Murphy is a healthy as an Ox he had no medical issues with his previous owner and he is active and healthy in our care. Murphy’s tooth game is strong. He has a single bottom tooth that peeks out like a pearl—very exclusive and cute as all be! The Murph is not a huge guy but he is built and stocky like a mini tank. His potty skills are dialed in, he only has had a few oopsies while feeling out the new schedule in his life during transition but he quickly realized the world is his bathroom, outside, of course. Murphy is not a fan of the crate but has learned to adjust and if we cover the crate with a blanket his TED talk ends on time. He is great with male and female dogs, but he definitely vibes better with the ladies. This guy is not looking for drama, but he will stand up for himself if someone wants to test him. He love toys, tug-of-war, and being the center of attention (did we mention the FoMo is real?). 

Foster Pupdates:

The Murph is a gem or maybe a diamond in the rough with that tooth!! Also—if you’ve got a hose, maybe put him inside. He will help you water the yard, by yelling at the water. Murphy is playful, well-rounded, healthy, hilarious, and ridiculously lovable. If you’re looking for a sidekick who will keep you laughing, talking back, and always in good company to do anything—he is your man. We are still learning about him but my daughter is in love and I’ll be surprised if he lasts long in the rescue. 

Let’s skip the small talk and get straight to forever. You can apply for Murphy at freedomfrenchierescue.org and check out how the adoption process works also. Murphy is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, his adoption donation fee is $1050.00. Do not let this guy get away, he is a bestie for life!  

Meet Earl – 30 Pounds of Love, Loyalty & Adventure! 

Everyone, say hello to Earl! Or as we call him Merle Earl. This sweet 30-pound French Bulldog came to us a few weeks ago from a shelter in Southern California—and we’re so glad he did. Earl arrived with a pretty gnarly ear infection and a UTI, but thanks to good vet care, antibiotics and a loving foster home, both have cleared up beautifully. The rest of him? Healthy as can be! Keep those ears clean and he will be just fine. Earl is just a yeasty fella!

Personality Cuteness:

Let’s talk about that floppy ear for a second… it might just be the cutest thing you see all day. Earl bounces around the yard like a happy little tank, then flops onto his back mid-play so his foster siblings can pounce on him. He LOVES other dogs and thrives in a playful pack! There is a way about him with other dogs we find rare in rescue, He will have three tugging at him and pouncing on him and he will just keep them all entertained. Earl is literally the life of the PARTY!

Behind those sweet, soulful eyes is a pup who’s clearly been through a lot. You can see the story of abandonment in his gaze—but every day, his confidence grows, and so does his trust in people. He’s discovering what it means to be safe, loved, and home.

Training Fun:

Earl knows his basic commands, is incredibly food motivated, and will sit and wait like a gentleman for a treat. He will sit and wait for a treat without being told. While waiting for his turn to get one he keeps his eye on the prize! Earl enters his crate without a fuss, and while potty training is still in progress, he’s doing so much better with a consistent routine for meals and potty breaks. Seems like once his UTI started clearing up he wasn’t having as many accidents in his crate. When he goes potty he goes for a long time, so he is holding it until he can break free to the outside! Earl is good with the doggie door but can be a bit stubborn when being called. We all know how stubborn bulldogs can be!

At a Glance:

Cuddle bug with a heart of gold, Attention seeking lover and will be your Guaranteed  best friend for the rest of his life! Do you like a travel partner because Earl loves rides in the car and long walks on the beach saying hi to as many friends as possible.

He is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, his adoption donation fee is $1050.00. You can apply for Merle Earl on our website freedomfrenchierescue.org and check out the adoption process.  

      Meet Chip! The 35lb Lapdog with a Big Heart and Floppy Ears 

We welcomed Chip to the Freedom Squad! This lovable goofball came to us alongside Mintz after a Southern California shelter reached out—completely over capacity and unable to house the pair. We quickly got them to safety, and Chip was transported to Arizona where he was neutered and placed into an amazing foster home immediately.

And let’s just say… Chip made himself at home real quick.

Foster Pupdate:

His foster mom reports that he instantly bonded with their resident male dog, picked up on the doggie door like a pro, and is already potty trained! At just 1.5 years old, Chip still has some classic puppy energy—he gets the zoomies, loves chewing on toys (with his signature booty-in-the-air pose), and occasionally tests boundaries if things aren’t put away. But overall, he’s incredibly respectful and sticks to what his toys.

Personality Quirks:

Chip is a professional cuddler—he will paw at you for pets and insists on being as close as possible. He’s a bit of a lapdog… all 35 pounds of him! He’s goofy, gentle, and surprisingly polite when it comes to sharing his toys and playing with his foster sibling. Chip Loves a good tug of war with his foster brother and chasing each other around the yard zoomie style until they are worn out.

Adventurer Alert!

Chip would thrive in an active home. He’s up for anything—camping, hiking, lounging poolside, or a fun outing to the dog park. He’s curious, confident, and loves a good adventure with his humans and fur sibling by his side. And don’t even get us started on those adorable floppy ears—they’re basically part of his charm package! Watch him in slow motion playing around with his foster brother and those cute ears are just flapping in the wind!

Schedule/Medical:

His appetite has blossomed! Once a picky eater, Chip now gobbles up his meals and is learning to sit and wait patiently. He’s getting the hang of “sit” for treats and enjoys bath time like a champ. Chip is medically sound, he came into the rescue with an ear infection, but his foster mom has been taking great care of him, and it has cleared up. Other than that, Chip shows no signs of medical issues at this time and is a healthy fella.

We made the call to separate him from Mintz so she could focus on her puppies, and Chip has done beautifully on his own. He hasn’t shown any signs of stress or depression—instead, he’s thriving and soaking up all the love.'

Ideal Home:

Honestly? Chip would do well just about anywhere! Male or female owner, solo dog or playful companion—he’s well-rounded, friendly, and ready to love.

Ready to make room on your couch (and in your heart) for this snuggly, floppy-eared boy? You are going to need a lot of room but he has no problem making sure he fits next to you! Chip is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped; his adoption donation fee is $1050.00. You can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org and read how our adoption process works.
