Welcome to Freedom Frenchie Rescue Adoptables

 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. Foster mom found the right 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 and chasing the vacuum! 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. 

Foster pupdate: 

Paris is protective of her home, and is very curious, not a total velcro Frenchie since she has been in foster for over three months now and has acclimated. She loves her foster siblings and she use to sit away from me while I was working now she lays with the other dogs. She picked up our routine very quickly. She is not a fan of crates or gates that is when she is aggressive with other people, when they first come over. She is a great dog and everyone who isn't applying for her is really missing out. 

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.

Meet Cardi — 5 years old, 24 lbs. of sass, snacks, and squeaky toy obsession 

Cardi came to us from a “finder” in Riverside, CA. She had zero vet care and a whole lot of confusion. The person who found her said they were going to keep her, but she kept attacking their female Frenchie… and oh yeah, they never took her to the vet or treated her obvious smelly skin issues. Found? Owned? Neglected? We’ll never know — and honestly, we’d rather not. What matters is they did the right thing searching for a rescue and that she’s here now. We’ve been working hard to get her healthy and happy.

Medical:

This apricot beauty came in with mange (thankfully not a severe case), and we immediately started her on antibiotics, allergy meds, and medicated baths. She had a lot of fur missing on her back legs and folds and her breasts hung almost to the ground. Cardi was covered in Staph infection and her skin felt like 80 grit sandpaper. Her coat is finally coming back in, and she’s looking better every day. She was recently spayed after clearly having a litter recently — Her little belly and low-hanging teats are proof this girl’s been through it.

Let’s talk about personality: 

Cardi is a one-woman comedy show. She bounces like a bunny, tosses her toys like she’s playing catch with an imaginary friend, and gets hyped over the tiniest victories — like finding a ball she buried 10 minutes ago. She lives for squeaky toys, food, and exploring every corner of the yard.

Cardi is dominant with other dogs and will resource guard her toys, so a slow 333 transition is non-negotiable. She needs time and structure to settle in. We’ve had success introducing her to calm, submissive dogs — in fact, she and Boba are now besties (go figure). She wants to play with other dogs but it must be her way (control freak). She’s done well with slow intros and no more than 2–3 dogs at a time. Too much stimulation sends her into overdrive. Honestly? She’d love to be your one and only. But if you’ve got a mellow male or confident-but-submissive female, she might just vibe with them too.

Family life:

She’s great with respectful kids 7+ and not cat-tested. Potty training is still in progress — she’s stubbornly catching onto crate training and doesn’t poop inside, but she has an occasional pee accident. We suspect it’s a leftover habit from being confined in a crate too long. With consistency, she’s improving, that will have to continue in new home. 

We’re still trying to solve one little mystery: Cardi has a weirdly pungent smell that isn’t anal glands, she does sweat and loves rolling around on everything. Her skin infection is still lingering, but it is mostly resolved and once her fur fully grows in, which is almost there. Until then, she gets extra spa days which she does not love but deals with. We have jump started her on allergy mediation and probiotic, but she may need both in the long run.

Foster update:

 She’s thriving. We’re taking it slow, letting her make choices, redirecting her often, and praising every win which is a lot. She’s stubborn (hello, Frenchie), but the love she gives? Worth every second of patience. Cardi is a joy to have around and a hilarious menace. Well, you know Dennis the menace? She is the female version always looking for Mr. Wilson. We think it’s hilarious, I will say this she does not destroy household items, I did catch her trying to tear a dog bed a part, so we just make sure she is always stimulated in a positive way. She loves to be petted and get her bootayyy scratched!

Is it a Match:

Cardi is looking for someone who understands bulldog quirks, is committed to structure, socializing, and training, you must match her love of snacks and squeaks. She’s been through a lot, but this girl is so worth it. Are you ready to give Cardi the life she so dreams of? She is vaccinated, microchipped and spay. Her adoption donation fee is $1025.00 you can apply for her on our website. Located in Queen Creek, AZ.

  Meet Cookie – A Sweet Soul Looking for Her Safe Place

Everyone, meet Cookie, a 5-year-old French Bulldog who recently joined the Freedom Squad from the Arizona Humane Society. Cookie’s life before rescue wasn’t kind—she was found as a stray, her skin struggling with mange, her ear infected, and her little body showing the signs of being bred multiple times. But Cookie’s story isn’t about what happened to her—it’s about where she’s going next.

Personality blossom:

Since arriving, Cookie has blossomed. Her skin is clearing up beautifully with a salmon-based diet, soothing baths, and daily probiotics. Her ear is healing well with ointment, leaving her with an adorable little crinkle that makes her even more unique. After all, what’s cuter than a Frenchie with two pointy ears? One with a  floppy ear?

Cookie weighs about 23 pounds and, while the stress of her past has aged her looks, her heart is pure puppy. She loves mealtime, enjoys sunbathing in the yard with her foster siblings, and most of all, she adores being near her human.

Foster pupdate:

If you’re outside, she’s outside. If you’re inside, she’s right at your feet—or sometimes perched on the armrest, nudging you gently with her nose for love and attention. Her foster mom says she’s a little shadow and the sweetest coworker you could ever ask for. When others crates are open, she is nosey in them hunting for pieces of kibble, but she eats twice a day!! Cookie is a snack enthusiast; it’s like she has a column on tasty treats in the Phoenix Times.  When I am outside with all the other dogs she is to and they all get along so well! (like all dogs that come into our home we apply the 333 rule. She is as sweet as she is cute, and we are still learning about her and watching her personality come alive as she settles. Anyone would be missing out if they bypassed her.

Training and Trust:

Cookie does well with other dogs, but like many Frenchies (and rescue dogs in general), she prefers her food to be hers when she’s in her crate. This is normal and manageable for an adopter willing to give her patience and guidance. With time and trust, she will continue to build her confidence and let go of the insecurities that life taught her to hold onto. She’s potty trained, loves a routine, and will thrive in a home that continues to keep her on a healthy diet and commits to the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn the routine, and 3 months to truly settle in. Cookie’s forever family will need to go slow and love hard—but she is absolutely worth it.

Cookie is not defined by her looks or her past—she is defined by her sweetness, her loyalty, and her deep desire to belong to someone who sees her for the gem she truly is. Her big doe eyes, speckled with little highlights, are starting to brighten each day as she feels more secure. Her personality is blooming as her body heals.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Cookie is your girl. Give her the chance to know safety and love for the rest of her life.

You can apply for Cookie at  freedomfrenchierescue.org, her adoption donation fee is $1025.00. She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Cookie is located in Mesa, AZ but might possibly be fostered in Yuma in the next week (we will update this).

Let’s show her that forever love is real. 

 Meet Gracie- the girl that is grateful for a new life 

Gracie joined the Freedom Squad from Arizona Humane after being used for breeding most of her life. Same female story...

 She came in with several large masses on her leg (now removed and confirmed benign) and had much-needed dental work done — including the removal of several teeth. 

Best life:

This girl is 4.5-5 years old and learning how to be a dog she is more of a follower than a leader so she can be sassy sometimes while figuring things out. But make no mistake — Gracie is living her best life now.

Foster life:

 Her foster says she’s a total pool princess, floating around in her life jacket and floaty like she owns the place. She doesn’t last too long and is ready to get out. She doesn’t mind cooling off in the Az heat waves. Foster Dad likes to call her Blanche (Golden Girls) as she is becoming confident , sometimes has a dramatic flair when she plays with Lamby, she is very loyal to her human. She loves her foster family and foster fur friends and oversees their day with love and kindness. 

Personality & Home Life

When she’s not channeling her inner mermaid, she’s chasing her foster siblings in the yard or snuggled on the couch begging for belly rubs. Her favorite things in life? Lamb chop toys, food (any food), and you.  Gracie follows the pack and thrives with doggy companions, she does prefer males or females that mind their own business until she is comfortable. She is not afraid to keep a dog in check if they get out of line with her. She is center of attention when company visits (classic Frenchie!). When its bed time she insists on sleeping next to you and wants all the snuggles. Gracie has mastered the doggie door, and is mostly potty trained (she has had a few pee accidents while she is excited). She will climb on the table to be next to you breathing down your neck! Anything to be a Velcro stage 5 clinger! 

Medical Notes 

Due to repeated C-sections, Gracie had extensive scar tissue that required special spay surgery. She also had a seroma post-op that has since resolved. She’s now a happy, healthy girl — finally getting to enjoy life as a dog, not just being used! She did great with her dental surgery and having her masses removed on both of her back legs! This girl is a freaking rock star under the knife! We are hoping this is it for her for a very long time!!!

 Gracie is a follower, not a leader — simply because she’s never had the chance to be loved and guided in a home. That’s where you come in.

 If you’re ready for a funny, affectionate, water-loving couch potato who will steal your heart and your snacks — Gracie is waiting for you. Apply to adopt at freedomfrenchierescue.org. Out-of-state adoptions welcome with approved application & transport coordination! Gracie is spay, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption donation fee is $1000.00 she is located in Scottsdale AZ. 

  Meet Bubbles! 

Yes, her name is Bubbles—and trust us when we say, she is her name. She’s the 26lb life of the party, the sparkle in your soda, the confetti in your cupcake. With her lilac tan coat and cartoon-worthy eyebrows, Bubbles is everything we love about Frenchie’s wrapped up in one bouncy, bubbly, perfectly squishable package.

Personality excitement:

This young lady is a walking serotonin boost. She’s happy, non-stop friendly, and gets along with everybody—dogs, people, even the neighbor’s grumpy cat probably wouldn’t phase her. No aggression, no resource guarding, just pure joy and play. She loves a good tug-of-war match, running around with her best friends, and sunbathing like a little queen under the misters. And when she gets the zoomies? Forget it—you’re not catching her! Trying to snag a kiss mid-zoom is like trying to catch a bubble in the wind. Bubbles can barely put the breaks on in time! SO Good luck! She even hops around like a bunny who got lost at Easter—pure excitement wrapped in ears and wiggles.

Medical endeavors:

Bubbles recently had surgery to remove her tail after it curled into her skin and caused a nasty infection that spread to her hip. She’s healed beautifully and feels so much better now—though we’re still trying to pay off the bill, because donations have been low. The smell that came from that booty was insanity we thought she needed surgery on her anal glands low and behold who knew a tail can do that much damage. Bubbles has recovered like she did not just get a new BBL!! The next day she was out and about, back to her normal Frenchie self!

Training at best:

She’s still working on potty training (she’s almost there!) and learning to use the doggie door (this week). She rarely has crate accidents unless her schedule’s off. She’s smart, determined, and has that classic bulldog sass when she wants to do things her way. Need her to come out of the crate? Walk away. She’ll come barreling out like it’s a game of tag—and it is, according to her.

Foster pupdate:

This girl brings the light to the sun. Seriously. Bubbles is happy-go-lucky 24/7, and I mean nonstop joy. She reminds me so much of my girl Tyke—just full of life, play, and that magical energy that makes every day better. She and Tyke play all. day. long. It’s like having two tiny comedians bouncing around the house, and it fills the room with so much laughter and love. What truly amazes me is how resilient Bubbles is. After everything she’s been through—the pain, the surgery, the discomfort—you’d think she might be guarded or hesitant. But no. Not this girl. Bubbles puts her whole heart out there every single day, and it’s always full of joy. Her love is loud, unfiltered, and beautifully honest. If you’re not applying for this girl, I’m telling you right now—you’re missing out on one of the most special souls I’ve ever had the privilege of fostering. She is pure sunshine in dog form.

Adopters home:

We’d love to see Bubbles go to a home with another playful pup—she thrives with friends! She’s a great little traveler, does well on leash (she’ll bounce and explore with enthusiasm!), and overall, she’s the kind of dog who makes you laugh just by being herself. Adopter’s family and home must match her energy!! She is electric!

Bubbles is located in Mesa, AZ she is spay, vaccinated and microchipped! Her adoption donation fee is $1050.00. Apply to adopt at freedomfrenchierescue.org

Because life is better with Bubbles, bunny hops, and zoomie smooch attempts. 

  Meet Calista – Your New Brindle Bestie with CEO Energy! 

This 4-year-old, 25-pound brindle beauty with a big personality, a bigger heart, and a serious love for snacks, supervision, and snuggles. She joined the Freedom squad from San Diego Humane Society and has been an unforgettable presence ever since. From the moment she arrived, Calista made it clear she wasn’t just a foster dog—she was the CEO of Comfort and the Queen of Connection. She’s one of those dogs who makes you feel instantly chosen, because once she picks her person, she’s all in. Her foster dad is her entire world, and Calista is rarely more than an arm’s reach away, usually curled up on his chest or tucked tightly between his legs with her belly up and her eyes closed in complete contentment.

Personality vibes:

We lovingly call her the Velcro Queen because she will stick to you like glue. But don’t let her cuddly side fool you—Calista is also a total boss. She thrives on routine, enjoys being the one in charge, and is the ultimate yard supervisor. Whether it’s potty breaks or sunbathing sessions, she’s always checking in on the rest of the crew. When a puppy recently joined the rescue, Calista immediately stepped into a nurturing, watchful role—“momming” like she’d done it her whole life (which she most likely did). She’s a natural at making sure everyone’s okay, while also letting them know who’s really running the show (hint: it’s her).

Calista coexists beautifully with other dogs, and while she doesn’t seek out playtime, she’s respectful and fair. The other dogs in her foster home seem to sense that she needs space to bond with her person, and they give it to her without a fuss. She communicates clearly, keeps to her routines, and loves to be in the know. We always say she’s a little bit of a control freak, but in the most charming way possible. We do not think she would do great with a dominant female but it is a possibility.

Medical Endeavors:

Medically, Calista is doing fantastic. When she arrived, she had ulcers in both eyes and was struggling to see more than shadows and bright lights. We immediately started her on steroid medicated drops, and the improvement has been nothing short of amazing. She now moves around with confidence, can see her surroundings, and has no issues navigating new spaces. Her eyes still have a bit of cloudiness, but it doesn’t hold her back in the slightest—if anything, it gives her a little extra sparkle to match her glow-up. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and is vet-cleared with no further medical concerns.

Training quirks:

Calista is fully potty trained, knows basic commands, and walks well on a leash. She’s also a great travel buddy, whether it’s a quick car ride or a weekend road trip. She enjoys being outside just as much as she loves being curled up next to you while you binge Hulu. She’s calm, observant, affectionate, and loves with her entire being. And let’s not forget—this girl takes her snacks very seriously. She’s a gourmet treat taster with an appreciation for anything edible and absolutely no shame about it.

If you’re looking for a dog with depth, devotion, and a little diva supervisor energy, Calista might just be your soulmate. She needs a home where she can be loved unconditionally, where her snuggles are always welcome, and where she can continue to shine as the beautiful, strong, emotionally intelligent girl that she is.

Calista is ready to meet her forever family. If you think you’re the one she’s been waiting for, apply now at freedomfrenchierescue.org. We can’t wait to see her thrive in a home where she’s cherished for exactly who she is: a bossy, snuggly, sparkling little queen. Adoption donation fee is $1025.00 and she is located in Scottsdale, AZ.

Meet Rubee — Our Little Bat with Big Party Energy! 

If you’ve ever wanted a pint-sized frat girl in Frenchie form, Rubee is your girl. This one-year-old 20lbs party animal joined the Freedom Frenchie squad from Arizona Humane after being found as a stray covered in mange—but don’t you dare feel sorry for her! She shook that off like last season’s TikTok trend and came in HOT. She’s goofy, bouncy, and absolutely living for the chaos.

Gem Personality:

Rubee is the life of any party (even if it’s just a Tuesday night in the living room). She’s obsessed with toys, especially whiffle balls—you’ve been warned, those things go flying and so does she! Her foster mom lovingly calls her “Little Bat” because of her pointy ears, sneaky little fangs, and her talent for launching sneak attack kisses when you least expect it. Seriously, she’s got hops. Olympic level. She’ll be on your face before you even know what happened—smothering you in love.

Rubee is AMAZING with other dogs and adores every human she’s met, including kids! She would thrive in a home where someone can match her energy, give her all the attention she demands (yes, demands), and provide the mandatory daily face scratches. She’s crate trained at night, though she might throw in a little dramatic cry for flair—it’s all part of her charm.

Training:

She’s still working on potty training and learning to sit for treats, but she’s already got the “steal your heart in 0.2 seconds” trick down to perfection. She loves going for her walks so her new family will have to stay consistent with her schedule to keep the training going. 

Medically shining:

Medically? Rubee’s bouncing back beautifully. She had a steroid injection to calm her itchy skin, and her hair is already growing back in like magic. She’s on a fish-based diet and doing great! She may need allergy meds later, but right now, she’s too busy vibing to care that she was ever itchy.

This girl is explosive joy in a Frenchie body—chaotic, sweet, hilarious joy. She thrives in chaos and she also thrives when she is sleeping. If you’re ready to party with Rubee (and by party, we mean lots of cuddles, toys, and unconditional love), she’s ready to meet YOU.

Apply now at freedomfrenchierescue.org and bring home the bat-eared queen of the good times. Rubee is vaccinated, spay and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $1050.00 and she is located in Tempe, 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 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 

Medical Endeavors: Boba has been through quite the medical issues dealing with his prolapse. He has had two purse string surgeries that were not successful. Our next step was Colpopexy surgery, it was successful but only for a few weeks and his rectum came out again. With his original prolapse his rectum was 8.5in (that is unheard of). We have been to the vet several times and have had several discussions with our primary and our specialist. Boba's issue is that he is straining he is straining every time he goes to the bathroom. We have tried calming meds but it does not help and they make him aggressive. We are trying one last medication to see if that helps him stop straining. While he is going #2 we are distracting him from straining but it is not always working. His rectum comes out but it goes right back in within a few minutes.  This might have to be something he lives with, we are revisiting the vet in 2 weeks (middle of June) to see if the new medication is helping him.   It does not hurt him he has no idea it is happening and keeps going about his lizard chasing. We just did a gut biome test on him and everything came back great!!! Every time we think we are in the clear we are not but no one has applied for him so we just keep his profile up in the hopes that someone will be understanding about his medical and be willing to take this on. UPDATE: 7/22/25. Boba has successfully kept his rectum in for the last 4 days! The new calming meds are working and we have him on a very bland diet adding fiber one cereal to his meal. We are all hoping this will continue until he mentally knows he does not have to strain and be in crouching position anymore. He is not aggressive to any other dogs but he has only been with 5 of our submissive dogs. He literally lets Twig jump on him!!! Maybe he knows Twig is little or he is tired of being a tough guy.

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 ignores 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.

Meet Drift — Our Goofy Little Glide Machine!

Drift may sound like the name of a racecar driver, and honestly… it fits. This 12-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. 

Ongoing Medical:

Drift has what we call IVDD 1, one of his vertebrae's his not shaped correctly. He does not have a ruptured disc and he gets around great standing on his back legs all the time. Drift plays nonstop with his friends, sometimes to much since he is a puppy and we put him on crate rest for a few hours, or just let him have the yard with more chill dogs so he isn't playing so hard and has a break to lay around.  He is not incontinent and is on a great schedule with potty breaks but will leave the occasional pee trail, if foster mom is not in time in the morning. If you are not familiar with IVDD please do your research and make sure this is something you are willing to take on for this rest of his life. 

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.  

Meet Chewy – our dapper little dude!!

Chewy has just the right amount of “bad boy” charm and sweet-as-pie vibes. Estimated at 2 years old, Chewy joined the Freedom Squad after being rescued from the San Bernardino shelter in Southern California. He came to us a hot mess—another unfortunate case of a breeding experiment gone wrong—but you wouldn’t recognize that version of him now.

Personality quirks:

Chewy has a lot of energy and absolutely lives for playtime. He gets along best with females and more submissive male dogs and would thrive in a home with an easygoing fur friend who can match his playful spirit and still enjoy nap breaks by his side. That said, he’d also be just fine as a spoiled only pup with the right outlet for his zoomies. He takes direction well, knows basic commands (especially when treats are involved), and continues to improve with potty training, especially now that he’s been neutered.

This guy is obsessed with yard laps and takes full advantage of the baby pool for cool downs. His highlight moment? A full glow-up courtesy of our favorite groomer, who said he was a perfect gentleman during his spa day. He strutted out fresh, clean, and looking pristine… until we begged him not to dive straight back into the dirt for at least 24 hours. Classic Chewy. That highlighted eye will melt you on sight.

Foster pupdate:

Chewy formed a fast friendship with Jubilee and absolutely had FOMO if they weren’t together. He does fine with other dogs but will defend himself if provoked—he’s no pushover. Despite his mischievous looks and wire-haired terrier mix vibes, he’s a softie at heart and loves attention. Running into the yard and cannon bombs into the baby pool are his favorite past time! He will sit to get a picture there is something about his little smirk underneath it that I can feel! This guy is great, and he will be an awesome addition to any active family. I really hope that someone loves the uniqueness of Chewy’s looks like we do!

Medical/diet/hygiene:

He is medically sound, neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He’s on a skin and coat-support kibble and takes a salmon-based probiotic treat every morning, which has been doing wonders for his coat and digestion. He enjoys weekly baths with Epsom salt soaks and appreciates being brushed during his spa time—it helps him relax. His dew claws will need regular trims, so be prepared to pamper this king.

We are still learning about Chewy as he is getting settled and try to make updates as often as possible. Apply today at freedomfrenchierescue.org and let this scruffy charmer steal your heart.

 Maverick – 3 Years Old | 25 lbs | Athletic Frat Boy Energy

Meet Maverick, the French Bulldog with frat boy charm and Top Gun confidence. At 3 years old and 25 pounds, this athletic goofball has the kind of personality that turns any yard into a party. Maverick came to Freedom Frenchie Rescue under pretty bizarre circumstances. A “pet sitter” surrendered him and a female Frenchie named Butters, claiming the dogs’ owner went to clean houses in Montana and just… never came back. Butters had recently had puppies and still had milk coming in, while the pups were given away to family members. Maverick and Butters were clearly thrown into a strange situation, but they’re not bonded. They’re more like old roommates who don’t really text anymore. He’s since settled into his foster home with ease and is embracing his new chapter like the confident little legend he is.

First Class Personality:

Maverick is a social butterfly with a squishy face and a love for attention. He enjoys showing off his zoomies in the backyard, dunking his toys in the water bowl, and being the center of the action. He’s also incredibly athletic—don’t let the wrinkles fool you. This guy can sprint, hop, twist, and dodge like a canine Olympian. He would probably win gold in “backyard zoomies” and still have time to splash around in the baby pool like it’s spring break. He’s goofy, energetic, and full of personality, always ready to get the party started.

He does well with other dogs and definitely vibes better with females, though he gets along with respectful males too. He’s not aggressive, but he will stand up for himself if someone tries to test his limits—usually with a few polite warnings first. Now that he’s been neutered, we’re hopeful that his energy will mellow just enough to make his social life even smoother. Maverick has also shown great house manners. 

Training/Meal:

He is fully potty trained, hasn’t had any accidents in his crate, and eagerly waits at the door each morning to stretch his legs and do his business. While he might skip a meal during his first day or two in a new home, don’t worry—it’s just part of his adjustment process. Toss in a few tasty treats and he’ll be back to eating like a champ in no time. He walks well on a leash, especially if he’s walking with another dog to boost his confidence. Maverick knows basic commands, but true to his Frenchie nature, he sometimes chooses not to follow them if he’s feeling sassy. Still, he’s a smart boy who’s learning from the dogs around him and is eager to please when the vibes are right.

Hygiene:

This handsome guy is also surprisingly cooperative when it comes to hygiene. Baths? No problem—he lets you wash all his “goody parts” without a fuss. Ear cleanings are easy, and while he’s not a huge fan of wrinkle cleaning, he tolerates it because he knows he’s got a lot of folds that need TLC. He has some minor allergies so keeping him treated with medicated baths, probiotic vitamin, along with a healthy fish based diet should keep him moving along nicely!

Medical:

Medically, Maverick is in great shape. Aside from the typical minor Frenchie skin sensitivities, he has no underlying health issues—something even our vet was surprised to see. 

He’s ready to start his next adventure in a forever home where he can be his athletic, affectionate, and totally hilarious self. We think he’d do great with preteen kids who can keep up with his energy, and while we’re unsure about cats, we wouldn’t be surprised if he chased one like he does with pigeons.

Maverick is a total character with a heart of gold and buns of steel. He’s the ultimate wingman—loyal, funny, and always ready to celebrate life. If you’re looking for a four-legged best friend who can keep up with your lifestyle and bring some frat house fun into your home (minus the questionable beer pong), Maverick might just be your guy. Don’t forget to follow the 3-3-3 rule during his transition, especially if there’s another male in the home, but rest assured—this guy adjusts quickly and brings joy wherever he goes.

Ready for a frat party with this squishy-faced party animal into your home? Apply now at freedomfrenchierescue.org and let Maverick bring the hype to your life. He is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, his adoption donation fee is $1050.00

  Meet Philly – The Quiet Soul with a Gentle Spirit

Philly joined the Freedom Frenchie Rescue squad from the Arizona Humane Society after being surrendered under a cloudy and unclear backstory. The previous owner never responded when the shelter reached out, and he was brought in by someone claiming to be a “trainer.” Sadly, it’s clear from his trembling, avoidant body language that Philly likely endured abuse and fear-based training. But here, with us, his healing journey has begun.

Personality:

Philly is about 4.5 years old and weighs around 22–24 pounds. He’s timid, quiet, and gentle for the most part. He will throw a warning growl so that just means back off and let him do his thing.  His foster family has been giving him the one thing he’s probably never had—freedom to just exist without fear, without demands, and without harsh consequences. We don’t force him into anything. Instead, we let him come to us on his own terms—and he does. Slowly but surely, Philly’s tail has started to slightly wag. He’s learning that love is safe, treats are allowed, and toys aren’t scary. He still takes his time trusting new things, but when he decides you’re his person, you’ll have a little Frenchie shadow pop up throughout the day here and there to say hi.

Philly has done well so far with other dogs in the home, though he doesn’t seek out play. We slowly introduced him over a few weeks time to the other dogs. He’s content coexisting peacefully minding his own business. He might sniff a butt here and there but that’s about it. As for cats, we honestly think he doesn’t notice—or doesn’t care. He prefers calm energy, so a household without young children is a must. We will only place him in a home with kids aged 15+ who can respect his space and read his subtle cues. He is already potty trained, though it’s likely it came from fear-based discipline. We ultimately prefer him with no kids but he does well with foster moms teenagers (they are also around rescues all day).

Training:

We are keeping his training to a minimum or mostly nothing because we do not want him to go backwards and live in fear. Philly is a “free feeder.” He doesn’t gobble his food at mealtimes—instead, we leave his bowl in his crate and let him eat when he feels comfortable. His crate is his safe space, and we honor that. He walks well on a leash, though he tends to pull—like he’s still trying to escape whatever darkness is behind him. But with each walk, each meal, and each gentle moment, Philly is learning: he is safe now.

This guy has so much potential to be a lover—he just needs the right super calm, patient family to continue to bring that out of him. A home that understands that healing takes time, that trust is earned, and that the most meaningful bonds are the ones built slowly and with care.

Medical champ:

Medically, Philly is doing well and handled the vet visit like a champ. He shows no aggression, no resource guarding—except for one thing: his human. Once he’s bonded with you, he’s all in. He’s stubborn like many bulldogs (don’t expect him to come when he’s busy sniffing something extremely important), but that just makes him more endearing.

Foster pupdate:

Philly is an amazing little guy. He loves attention but if my son is near me and he is sitting in front of me he is guarded and will growl but has never once tried to bite any of us. We just let him do his own thing and he is really coming out of his shell. I was gone for a few days and at that point he stuck to my son like glue and was protective of him. Phill was definitely abused, he likes quiet places, under the bed in a corner somewhere away from the chaos. I know that in time he will learn that love is real and adjust to a new loving family. 

If you’re ready to offer a safe haven and a gentle heart, Philly will meet you halfway—and in time, he’ll show you just how much love he’s been waiting to give.

Philly is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, you can apply for him on freedomfrenchierescue.org. He is located in Phoenix, AZ and his adoption donation fee is $1025.00.

  Meet Skeeter – the perfect mix of Netflix and GOOOO TIME! 

Skeeter is a 3-year-old, 27-pound Frenchie who is the perfect mix of couch potato and playful goofball. He loves to cuddle, take long naps, and be right next to his people whenever possible. He’s incredibly affectionate and will gently paw at you or nudge you with his head when he wants pets—which is basically all the time. One of his cutest moves? Sitting up on his back legs and sticking his front paws out like he’s begging for love. It’s his go-to charm tactic and it works every time.

Meal time!

Skeeter is a total foodie and not at all picky. He devours meals with gusto but takes treats from your hand like a gentleman, waiting patiently while others get theirs. He listens well, responds to commands, and is crate-trained. He’s also smart and eager to please, which makes him easy to manage and a joy to live with.

Personality quirks:

When it comes to other dogs, Skeeter fits right in. He’s non-aggressive and gets along well with every dog in his foster home. He’s happy to play when the others are in the mood and respects their space when they’re not. Like many Frenchies, he can get overstimulated during high-energy moments—if a scuffle breaks out, he’ll need to be separated quickly, but this is typical breed behavior. He also shares his space peacefully with our blind foster dog, Kenny, and has done well with cats, which is a huge plus!

Skeeter is very social and loves when new people come over. He’s always the first to greet guests with tail wags and kisses. He’s great on a leash, rides well in the car (he loves looking out the window), and would make an amazing travel buddy. He’s been around kids 10 and older and has done great—we believe he’d likely do well with younger children too, given his playful and gentle nature.

Medical:

Skeeter has no underlying medical issues. He came to us with some severe hot spots and skin issues. His kennel cough is now going away and he is feeling much better. He is being treated with medical baths and antibiotic spray and they are almost cleared up. Skeeter is another Frenchie that was given up on because no time to treat basic medical treatment.

This boy is a dream companion. Whether you want a partner for adventures or a buddy to snuggle up with on the couch, Skeeter is ready to fill your heart and your home. He would thrive in a home with other dogs, as he loves being part of a pack, and will benefit from applying the 3-3-3 rule during his transition to help him settle in. 

This dude is loving, loyal, funny, and full of personality—and he’s ready to find his forever home.

Skeeter is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered, his adoption donation fee is $1050.00. You can apply at freedomfrenchierescue.org and is located in Glendale, AZ.
