Welcome to Freedom Frenchie Rescue Adoptables.

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

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

My Story (The Part That Shaped Me)

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

My Personality (Soft Heart, Spicy Edges)

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

My Ideal Home

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

My Good Girl Qualities

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

My Medical Stuff

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

A Note From Me

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

What works or is allowed in one foster home may not be the same in yours, so consistency, patience, and continued training are key to their success.

   Ummm HELLO I’m Nancy — Head Cheerleader of the Stranger Things Squad
 Captain of Confidence & Sass

My Vibe: Main Character Energy Only

Okay hi yes it’s me — Nancy 3 years young and 28lbs. I came from the Stranger Things crew (yes, I know… iconic), and let me just say… I did not come here to be shy. I am the bravest of my crew, the one who said, “Let’s go try that!” while everyone else was still thinking about it. I’ve got a little sass, a little spice, and a whole lot of personality. I’m not afraid to live my best life, and I fully expect my future family to be ready for that kind of energy.

My Social Life: I Need My Squad

I am a pack girl through and through. Being around other dogs is where I feel the most confident and secure, and it really brings out my best self. I would absolutely love a doggy sibling, especially a confident male, but I can do well with females too. I do have a slightly dominant side at times, but I redirect easily and respond well when given structure. I just like to remind everyone I’ve got a little boss babe energy in me.

Potty Training Queen

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate greatness. I am flawless when it comes to potty training. No accidents, no confusion, no drama. I understood the assignment immediately and I continue to deliver every single day. Truly, five gold stars across the board.

Food = Love Language

When I first arrived at rescue, eating was a bit of a struggle for me, but now I have fully embraced the experience. I absolutely love my meals, especially kibble topped with raw lamb, and I get very excited when it’s time to eat. I do love food a lot, so it’s important that my family keeps me on a consistent feeding schedule and maintains my ideal weight between 28 and 30 pounds. A girl has standards, after all.

Crate Life (We’re Getting There)

I won’t lie, I’m not exactly running into my crate on command just yet. I might need a little encouragement going in, but once I’m settled, I do really well. I am quiet, relaxed, and I actually enjoy taking long naps in there. With consistency and patience, I will continue to improve because I’m a smart girl who wants to please.

Cuddle Level: Velcro Baby

I am absolutely a cuddle bug. I love stretching out across your lap and fully claiming my spot. When I love you, I really love you, and I want to be close. Because of that, it’s important to keep structure and routine in place so I don’t develop any resource guarding tendencies, which can sometimes happen with Frenchies. With the right balance, I am the perfect mix of affectionate and well-mannered.

Self-Care Routine (Non-Negotiable)

I take my beauty routine seriously, sorry not sorry but I love feeling pretty! My little nose tends to get dry, so keeping nose butter on hand is a must. I also benefit from regular face wiping and brushing to keep my coat looking its best. This is something my foster does every other day, and I would love a home that keeps up with my self-care routine so I can stay feeling fresh and fabulous. She will even throw in a bow for my cuteness!

Adventures & Outings

I am learning about the world outside of rescue life, and I’m doing really well. Car rides are easy for me — I’ll curl up next to a buddy and take a nap like it’s nothing. At events, I like to go and observe. I’m still getting used to being social, so I may hang back at first, but I take everything in and grow more confident each time. I’m brave, curious, and continuing to come out of my shell.

Playtime Energy

Toys are still a newer concept for me, but I am figuring them out and starting to really enjoy them. I especially love chewing on my benebone and keeping myself busy. I’m playful, but not over the top, and I’m learning more every day about how to just be a dog.

Health

I am a healthy girl with no known underlying medical issues. Down the road, there may be some allergy tendencies, which is common for my breed, so maintaining a proper diet and routine will be important for my long-term success. Right now, I am thriving and feeling great. My poops are getting more solid (hey- most of us struggled with the food transition).

My Dream Home

My perfect home would be one where I have another dog to bond with, preferably a male who can balance out my personality. I would do best with a family that understands structure, routine, and the unique personality traits of French Bulldogs. I need someone who will love my confidence, guide my sass, and help me continue becoming the best version of myself.

Final Thoughts from Me, Nancy 

I’m brave, I’m adorable, I’m a little sassy, and I have so much love to give. I came from a pack, and I’m ready to find my forever team — a place where I can feel secure, have fun, and truly belong. If you’re looking for a dog with personality, confidence, and a whole lot of heart… I’m your girl.

   HI BESTIEEEE… I’M TOOTSIE (aka Gumdrop)

The Vibe (aka… what it feels like to meet me)

Okay so like… imagine sunshine + your wedding day + the best concert you’ve ever been to …and then multiply that by 1000. That’s me. I’m 4 years young (I think they made a mistake) and 22lb low-riding exotic bully with googly eyes that may or may not be looking directly at you… or your snacks… or your soul, but wherever I go, the energy shifts. Dogs play more. People smile more. Life just feels better. I’m basically the dorky cheerleader of the entire pack.

My Personality (warning: extreme happiness ahead)

I don’t just play… I COMMIT. Full body tackles (the loving kind), tug-of-war champion energy, and I will absolutely grab your pant leg to say HI OMG I MISSED YOU. I fumble, I tumble, I roll, I bounce… I’m pure chaos joy in the cutest little low-rider body. And one thing about us exotic bullies? We wake up happy, stay happy, and spread that energy everywhere.

My Bestie (and dream scenario)

My girl Blake is my ride or die. When she couldn’t play after surgery, I waited… and the SECOND she got cleared I ran after her like I was about to hug-tackle her into another dimension. If we got adopted together? ICONIC. If not, I’ll still thrive—but I do need a playful dog sibling. I’m not built for solo life. ME+FRIEND=LOVE.

My Glow-Up (aka look at me NOW)

When I came in, my ears were struggling but with meds (pills, ear drops, keep that in stock please) and medicated baths… they are glowing. My ear has opened up beautifully and once my dog glitter grows back, I’m 100% that girl. I eat like a queen—fish-based kibble, raw salmon on top, and probiotics because gut health equals hot girl energy.

The Real Talk Section (because I keep it honest)

I’m working on potty training every single day and getting better, but I still have accidents sometimes. I did spend a lot of my life kenneled, so I have little calluses on my legs and sometimes… I make questionable snack choices (hehe… turds), but with structure, supervision, and probiotics, I’m improving big time. I just need someone patient who understands where I came from. If you tell me know I look at you and decide but now I make the right decision. 

My Quirks (aka my extra sparkle)

When I walk, my little feet drag, so if we’re out and about I might need some cute shoes or honestly… a wagon would be my dream life. All the fur on my head has grown back in and my glow-up has been next level. I LOVE feeding time, I LOVE dogs, and I LOVE life.

My Dream Home

I need a home with another playful dog because I thrive with a buddy. I want someone who embraces joy, laughter, and a little chaos, and who will keep helping me grow into the best version of myself.

Final Thoughts (from me, your future favorite dog)

I’m not just a dog… I’m the energy your house didn’t know it was missing. I’m the sage, the palo santo, the good vibes only. I walk in and everything just feels lighter. If you’re ready for nonstop joy, a built-in best friend, and a whole lot of fun… I’m your girl.

   Tula — Practically Perfect (and I know it 💅✨)

From Surviving to Thriving
Hi hiiii, I’m Tula! My story didn’t start out the cutest—I came from Maricopa County in rough shape with mange and allergies that made me feel pretty blah. BUT look at me now!!! With love, care, and a glow-up routine, my skin is healing, my fur is coming in, and I feel better every single day. Like… radiant. We love a comeback.

20lbs of Personality
I’m about 3.5 years old and 20 lbs of sweet, sassy, curious energy. I keep people laughing without even trying (it’s a gift). I love humans, I do great with dogs, and I just want to be wherever the fun is happening. Which is obviously wherever you are.

Queen of the Doggy Door
I am a potty-trained queen I use the doggy door like a pro, but also… if I feel like it, I will absolutely scratch at the door and wait for you to open it for me. Because sometimes I deserve service.

Frenchie Stubbornness (It’s Part of My Charm)
I’ve been working on my manners… BUT I am a Frenchie, so I do know what to do—I just sometimes have opinions about doing it. I’m smart, expressive, and I like to keep life interesting.

Adventure-Ready Girl
I LOVE toys (especially chewing the ears off them—don’t ask), and I’m getting into fetch and chase. Car rides? Yes. Walks? Let’s go. Patio snacks?? Say less. I walk well on a leash, ride great in the car, and I’m honestly just happy to be included.

A Little Sass, No Real Aggression
Okay so… sometimes I like my bed and my bowl to be MY bed and MY bowl. I might puff up a little if another dog gets too close, but I listen when my human tells me to knock it off. I’m learning I don’t need to be the boss of everything (even though I’d be really good at it).

Learning to Trust & Share
I get very excited about treats—like VERY excited—but I’m working on being gentle and trusting that no one is going to take my snacks. I’m learning, I’m growing, I’m thriving.

Sunbathing Princess Energy
I am graceful. I am athletic. I float onto couches and beds like it’s nothing. And sunbathing?? My full-time job. If there’s a warm spot, I will find it and live in it. Also… let’s talk about baths. I’m not a fan, BUT I tolerate them because I’m a strong independent girl who currently needs them every 3 days (beauty is a commitment).

Quiet, Sweet, and So Easy to Love
I’m actually pretty quiet! I do little huffs and soft whines—you really have to listen for them. But if you scratch my ears?? Oh… I’m yours forever.

The Right Home for Me
I’m looking for a home with structure, consistency, and people who will keep helping me grow into my best self. I promise I’ll bring the personality, the love, and the daily entertainment. I do have severe allergies and my rescue friends did an allergy test on me so I have to eat specific foods. I am currently eating kangaroo, I need a home that is going to continue with my allergic journey. Hey I am a frenchie, not sue what you are expecting!

Ready for My Forever (and My Wardrobe)
I’ve come a long way, and now I’m ready for my forever home. I’m happy, I’m silly, I’m sparkly… and I would really like a wardrobe to match.

    LOXY — 5 YEARS OLD | ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS OR A RIDE BACK TO HER HOME PLANET
 

THE ARRIVAL
Hi. Yes. It’s me. The one with the tongue out… always. The drool? Also always. 5 Star performance, no notes. I recently arrived on Earth (you call it a “surrender”) after my human passed away. I was transferred to another unit, but apparently I wasn’t compatible with their senior pug. Something about food… honestly sounds like a them problem. So now I’m here… floating… observing… waiting for my next assignment.
 

INTERGALACTIC PERSONALITY
They keep calling me a “space cadet,” but I prefer intergalactic thinker. I do a lot of staring off into space, but it’s actually very important work. You just wouldn’t understand. I move at my own pace, exist in my own dimension, and I’m not here for chaos. Everyone around me seems a little… loud. I’m more of a calm, peaceful, main-character energy kind of girl.

THE DAILY OPERATIONS
I am fully potty trained and crate trained (my spaceship pod). I love sunbathing, napping, and occasionally I’ll engage with a toy if the mood strikes. I’m picky about my treats because I have standards. I’m incredibly sweet, love pets, and have zero aggression or resource guarding. I’m just out here minding my business and being iconic.

THE ELEVATED BED INCIDENT
Now… we do need to talk about one thing. For reasons unknown to your species, I have chosen a specific outdoor dog bed as my bathroom throne. We are actively working through this phase of my journey, and I am improving. Personal growth is not linear, okay?

TERRAIN ISSUES (VERY SERIOUS)
I do not walk on gravel. I simply will not participate. I will map out my route across every single paver like it’s lava. The ONLY time I will step on gravel is for urgent bathroom missions, and even then, it’s a tiptoe situation back to safety. Survival instincts. Advanced thinking.
 

HEALTH + GLOW UP ERA
I do have some allergies, and we discovered chicken was absolutely not aligned with my body. I’m now on medication and a new diet, and I’m feeling much more balanced and connected to the universe.
 

IDEAL PLANET (HOME)
I’m looking for a calm household with good energy. I don’t need chaos, I don’t need drama, and I definitely don’t need a pack of wild dogs bouncing off the walls. I’d thrive as your main character or with one respectful, chill companion who understands personal space and quiet vibes.
 

FINAL TRANSMISSION
I am sweet. I am gentle. I am weird in the best way. I am… not from here. So here’s the deal — you can submit your application, or I will be launching back to my home planet shortly.

Your move!

Etta — Soft, Sweet… and Runs a Tight Ship 

A Gentle Soul with a Little Sass

Hi, I’m Etta. I’m 9 years old, 20 lbs, and living my best “sweet little old lady with a touch of spice” life. I’m mostly mellow, love to relax, and just want to be near my people—but don’t get it twisted, I’ve got a little sass in me and I like things done my way.

My Story
I was rescued from San Diego Humane and came in with my buddy Tata. We were said to be bonded, but we’ve learned that it may be more of a trauma bond than a true match. I like things on my terms, and I tend to correct everything around me, which can make it hard for him (or other dogs) to just be themselves. I’m ready to have my own space to relax and live a happy, balanced life.

Potty Routine (I’ll Let You Know!)
I’m potty trained and will go to the door when I need to go out. I had a couple of accidents at first, but once I get into a routine, I do really well. I do have a bit of an “older lady bladder,” so I just need consistent potty breaks and I’m good to go.

Sweet, Affectionate, and Attention-Loving
I am a total love. I’ll gently lift my paw to ask for pets, and once I get going, I’m all about the cuddles and attention. I really just want to be close to my people and feel included.

Chill… With Opinions
I’m low energy for the most part with little bursts of play, but I definitely have opinions. I like structure, I like knowing what’s expected, and I feel most comfortable when there are clear boundaries in place.

Social Life (Structure is Everything)
When I’m introduced slowly and feel secure, I can coexist around other dogs. If I’m getting the attention I want and things are calm, I’m easily redirected away from negative behavior. That said, I do best with structure and guidance. A home with one calm dog who doesn’t feel the need to engage with me could work, but I would also thrive as your one and only. No other pets is honestly my easiest and best-case scenario.

Bigger Dogs Aren’t My Thing
Larger dogs make me uncomfortable, and I do best avoiding that situation altogether. Smaller, neutral dogs are a much better fit—if any.

Meeting New People
I can get a little excited and overstimulated when meeting new people. I may jump or get a little mouthy, but it’s not aggression—it’s just me getting overwhelmed. With direction, I calm down quickly and settle in. You have to stay on me until I learn the ropes and remember it is not overnight like amazon!

Food & Routine
I eat twice a day (7am and 5pm) and I LOVE my meals. I’m currently eating salmon and sweet potato and doing great. I’m very food motivated and always happy to accept treats (any kind, really—I’m not picky).

Walks & Manners
I walk nicely on a leash and am easy to handle, unless I see another dog—then I can react. I know basic commands like sit, stay (kind of), and “down,” and I’m very capable of learning more with consistency.

Care & Health
I did great during my bath and overall I’m a pretty low-maintenance girl. Just be gentle when picking me up—I may be a little older, but sometimes I still act like I’m training for the Olympics with my jumps.

My Favorite Things
Food, massages, cuddles, and attention. I’m a simple girl—I just want to feel safe, loved, and a little bit spoiled.

My Perfect Home
I need a home that will provide structure, consistency, and calm leadership. I do best in a quieter environment where I don’t feel the need to manage everything around me. I could live with one calm, neutral dog, but I would truly thrive as your only pet where I can just relax and be loved.

A Soft Place to Land
I’m a sweet, mellow girl with just enough spunk to keep things interesting. Give me structure, give me love, and I’ll give you a loyal little companion who just wants to be your girl.

Etta is spay, vaccinated, and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $850.00. You can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org, currently fostered with Tata in Florence, 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 some males, but if challenged, he will stand his ground and it is not pretty. Disagreements are rare and typically revolve around food, attention, or toys, so structured mealtimes and supervision will help set him up for success. With time, patience, and guidance, Boba continues to show excellent progress in his interactions. His ultimate perk is chasing lizards, he will watch the wall and scan every section thinking he will get a lizard! Boba is full time entertainment

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

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

Medical Endeavors: Boba has been through quite the medical issues dealing with his prolapse. He has had two purse string surgeries that were not successful. Our next step was Colpopexy surgery, it was successful but only for a few weeks and his rectum came out again. With his original prolapse his rectum was 8.5in (that is unheard of). We have been to the vet several times and have had several discussions with our primary and our specialist. We did a gut biome and the results came back perfect. We have him on a special diet of hydrolyzed food and he is successful

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

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

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

   I’m Vinnie – CEO of Vacuum Hater Club 

I’m a three-year-old low-rider exotic bully, built solid and close to the ground. I’m not loud or flashy—I’m the kind of guy who watches first, settles in, and keeps things steady. I’ve transitioned into rescue life incredibly well, and that says a lot about who I am. 

My Daily Vibe

 I’m a very good boy. I haven’t had a single accident since coming into foster care. I sleep through the night, go to bed without issue, and handle routine like a pro. I’m not big on playing or causing chaos. I get along well with other dogs and mostly mind my own business. I love hopping up on the couch and going straight to sleep—it’s kind of my thing. I absolutely love being outside. When the weather’s nice and the back door is open, I’ll spend most of my day out there doing my thing. Sometimes I lay in the sun, sometimes I just hang out and exist. My foster has to check on me because I’m so content out there. If the door isn’t open, I’ll sit patiently by it until you let me out. No fuss, no drama—just waiting.

 Food, Treats & the Good Stuff 

I eat really well and I love my treats. Morning Greek yogurt with blueberries? That’s top-tier in my book. I appreciate the good things in life and don’t take them for granted.

 A Few Things You Should Know About Me 

I get very excited when loud electronic things turn on—vacuums, blow dryers, even the Insta Pot. I take those noises personally. I’ve gone after another dog a couple of times when those sounds were happening, but I do correct pretty well. My foster keeps us separated during noisy moments now, and that works great. I will bark while the noise is happening, but once it’s over, I settle back down.  I'm friendly with people just give me space that's all I'm asking. I don't bite and I'm not an aggressor. I don't like when other dogs sniff my booty that's mine and I need to trust you first.  Once I trust you, I’m solid. 

My Rescue Story 

I was saved from an LA shelter where I was sitting on the euthanasia list with no interest and no time left. Freedom Frenchie Rescue wanted me, but being in Arizona and not partnered with that shelter made things complicated. Time was running out fast. Then a family stepped up and adopted me just to save my life. I was super skinny and severely malnourished when they got me, and because of their care, commitment, and love, I’ve gained about 10 pounds and finally look and feel like myself again. They made sure I was medically cared for, safe, and loved—even knowing they weren’t meant to be my forever. Later, a friend of the rescue asked if Freedom Frenchie could take me in, and now here I am. Mo met in San Diego to get me and I had a backpack full of separated meals, toys, treats, medications, and my favorite blanket. That kind of love sticks with a dog. It also stuck with Mo she said “there are good people, cut from the same cloth Vinnie” Funny how life works—rescue tried to get me in at the end of October and couldn’t, and now I’m here, safe, steady, and hanging out with a bully-experienced foster. I want it said clearly: I’m alive because someone chose me when no one else did. 

The Home I’m Looking For

 I’m looking for a calm, structured home with someone who understands that trust doesn’t happen overnight and that rescues don’t come with instant expectations. I do best with slow introductions, especially with men, and a human who respects my space while showing up consistently. A yard where I can hang out, sunbathe, and quietly enjoy my time would make me very happy. I’m not here for chaos or pressure—I’m here for stability, patience, and a home that understands who I am. 

Final Word from Me 

I’m not a puppy. I’m not a clown. I’m a solid, loyal, low-key chill asfk lazy guy who’s still learning what real safety feels like. Honestly I think I got it now! Don’t rush me. Don’t expect perfection. If you give me patience, respect my boundaries, and let me grow into myself, I’ll meet you there—steady and loyal the whole way. If that sounds like your kind of dog, I might just be your guy.

 Love, Vinnie 

This guy is vaccinated, spay and microchipped, he is being fostered in Mesa, AZ. His adoption donation fee is $1100.00 and you can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org 

*Please Note: All learning and guidance must continue in their new home. A dog’s behavior can change with a new environment and energy, and every family’s dynamic is different. What works or is allowed in one foster home may not be the same in yours, so consistency, patience, and continued training are key to their success.

         Meet Wrigley- Heartbroken Return (read my profile)

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

Learning to Trust (and Fall in Love) 

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

My Signature Wobble & Ongoing Care

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

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

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

All I’m Missing Is You 

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

PS I am vaccinated, microchipped and neutered, currently I am being fostered in Mesa, AZ. My adoption donation fee is $1050.00 and you can check out how to adopt me at freedomfrenchierescue.org and apply for there too!

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

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

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

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

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

I Don’t Hear You… But I See Everything

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

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

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

Gentleman with Good Bathroom Manners

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

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

Social Butterfly (But Make It Bulldog)

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

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

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

That One Day…

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

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

Cuddler-in-Chief

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

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

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

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

Medically Magnificent (Obviously)

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

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

Does it stop me? Not even a little.

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

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

What I’m Looking For

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

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

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

Rocket is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. His adoption donation fee is $1100.00 and you can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org. Rocket is currently being fostered in Glendale, AZ.

            Hi. I’m Tuco -Energy Level: YESSSSS

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

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

Let’s Talk About Food (My Favorite Topic)

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

Potty Situation: Pretty Impressive If I Do Say So

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

My Health

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

Dog Friends & My Social Life

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

My Energy Level (Spoiler: It’s High)

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

Crate Training

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

Things I’m Still Learning

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

My Sweet Side

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

My Perfect Home

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

I’m your guy.

Xoxo

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

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

A Stranger No More

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

My Daily Routine (I’m a Good Eater!)

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

The Potty Training Situation

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

The Wiggle Worm

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

My Little Rascal Side

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

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

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

Adventures (The Big World is Still Big)

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

Toys Are AMAZING

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

Learning to Cuddle

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

My Medical Update

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

My Perfect Home

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

From Breeder Dog to Freedom Squad

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

     Lucas- Needy Lover Gentleman Material

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

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

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

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

I live with my Frenchie foster sister Cardi and we are besties! It took her some time to get use to me but now we share toys! Yea did you hear that I figured out what toys are finally! There is also a boxer in the house and I'm still unsure about him. When I see him through a gate or the window I sometimes bark and react. My foster family isn't sure if it's a big dog thing or just this particular dog, so for now I'm separated from the other dogs except Cardi.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What works or is allowed in one foster home may not be the same in yours, so consistency, patience, and continued training are key to their success.

    Tata — Your Happy Little Ride-or-Die

Older, Wiser… Still Got the Zoomies

Hi hi! I’m Tata. I’m about 7 years old, 25 lbs, and I’ve officially entered my “happy, chill… but also sometimes chaotic” era. I’m a sweet, loving guy who enjoys the simple things—good food, good naps, and being around my people. But don’t let my age fool you… I still get the zoomies and like to have a little fun.

My Story (and Why I Deserve My Own Life)

I came into the shelter with Etta, and while we’ve been through a lot together, we’re starting to realize we may not be the best match for each other long term. Sometimes when dogs go through hard things, they rely on each other in ways that aren’t always healthy. I’m ready to learn how to just be me—to relax, grow, and live my own happy life without that extra stress.

I’ve Got the Basics Down

I’m potty trained and will go right to the door when I need to go out. I had a couple of accidents when I first got settled, but once I understand the routine, I do really well. Give me consistency and I’ll absolutely follow your lead.

Playtime… But I’m Still Learning

I really love other dogs and I want to play, but sometimes I get a little too excited and it can come off a bit intense. I’m not trying to cause problems, I just don’t always know how to keep it calm yet. The good news is I’m very easy to redirect and I listen when my human steps in. I would do best with a calm, submissive dog around my size, or I’d be just as happy being your one and only.

 I Feel Big Feelings Sometimes

I can get a little overstimulated when meeting new people, but I calm down quickly with the right direction. I also have a bit of separation anxiety at times—I just really love my people and like knowing you’re there.

Food, Baths, and My Glow-Up Era

I eat like a champ and never miss a meal. I’m currently on a salmon and potato diet and doing great with it. I came into rescue with some skin issues, but I’m already looking and feeling so much better. My itchiness is improving, my coat is coming back, and I get baths twice a week. Not my favorite thing, but I tolerate it like a good boy.

Certified Lover Boy

I am a total lover. Cuddles, massages, attention—I want all of it. You can tell I didn’t always have that kind of love before, so now I really soak it in. If you give me a little love, I’ll give you everything right back and then some.

Let’s Go Somewhere

I love going for car rides and being out with my people. I’m happy just being included in whatever you’re doing.

 What I Need From You

I’m a quick learner and I know my basic commands, but I do need structure. If you give me clear boundaries and consistency, I will absolutely thrive. If not, I might try to make my own rules… and we probably don’t want that.

My Perfect Home

I would do best in a calm, structured home with someone who understands how to guide me. A dog my size who is more submissive would be a great fit, or I could be perfectly happy as your only dog. If someone chooses to adopt me with Etta, we would need to be the only dogs in the home so we can keep things balanced.

Just a Good Boy Ready for His Chance

I’m a low-maintenance kind of guy—just give me a little guidance, a lot of love, and I’ll give you everything I’ve got. I’m happy, I’m sweet, and I’m ready to finally just be me.

Tata is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is being fostered in Florence, AZ. His adoption donation fee is $850.00 you can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org.
