Welcome to Freedom Frenchie Rescue Adoptables.

  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.

Foster Pupdate:

She is not a fan of other breeds, it may seem like it at first but she is def the boss of the house. She has been moved to her 2nd foster home and 333 rule was applied and has been success so far. Cookie needs to be an only dog or with submissive male. She has to hog all the attention from her human and will resources guard them. Foster mom loves her and said Cookie is dedicated but who can blame her? She had a rough life she only deserves the best!

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.

  Hi guys, it’s me — Ava the LB Ball Queen!

I rolled into the Freedom Squad all the way from Long Beach with my girls Opal and Val, and let me tell you… this glow-up story is one for the history books. When I first landed here, I looked like I’d been through a few seasons of Survivor: Backyard Edition — but not anymore! Thanks to the amazing shelter staff and my new rescue fam, I’m on the fast track to feeling fabulous.

Clear the air:

Let’s clear one thing up right now — the shelter said I’m seven years old. Excuse me? There’s no way! My vet says I’m closer to four, and I’m gonna roll with that because I’ve got way too much spunk (yes, spunk — not “energy,” we’re changing things up!) to be seven. I bounce, I zoom, I wiggle, and I make everything feel like recess.

Health:

I’ve had a few rough years — it’s clear I was bred over and over again and left in some pretty awful conditions. But that’s behind me now. My tail and back are still healing from some skin issues, and my ears needed a little steroid cream TLC, but nothing’s keeping this girl down. I get my medicated baths, smell like a spa day, and strut my stuff like a comeback queen. Oh man do I love me a bubble bath, it helps after a long day of chasing the balls around. I mean really there are so many to choose from!

I’m a vibe:

Don’t let my cute bows fool you though — I’ve got major tomboy vibes. I love hanging out with my besties Chapoopie and Soto, chasing balls, and catching anything you pretend to throw (seriously, I’m convinced every hand movement is snack-related). If you raise your hand, I’m already sitting like the goodest girl, ready for whatever surprise I think is coming. I have no idea why I am so convinced there is always something in a humans hand for me. Tug of war is another one of my fave things to do! 

Potty training? Nailed it  — I haven’t had an accident in my crate in weeks! I’ll even let you know when it’s time to go out. I’ll grab my ball, do my business, and scan the yard to make sure I’m not missing any action — serious case of FOMO. I walk great on a leash, but I get a little too pumped about the world sometimes (don’t we all?).

Here’s the thing: I’m independent… until you leave me outside without you. Then I’ll sing the song of my people at the gate until you come back because life’s just more fun together. I don’t fight, but I’ll give a little warning if someone tries to steal my ball — it’s mine, okay? Plus there are so many to choose from….I’ve learned to share when it comes to playtime, but food? That’s still personal. Can you blame me? After everything I’ve been through, I’m just making sure my bowl stays full.

I’m strong, silly, sassy, and totally irresistible. I may have started my journey rough around the edges, but I’m shining brighter than ever. If you’re ready for a little chaos, a lot of laughter, and endless love — I’m your girl. Mo says I remind her of Gwen Stefani all the time, like I know who that is (eye roll)….   

I’m just a girl, ol little oh me, well don’t let out of your sight!

Love, Ava — the comeback queen with the pogo-stick legs and the cutest bow in the effen game. Apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org my adoption donation fee is $1025.00 and I’m spay, vaccinated and microchipped, located in Prescott, AZ.  Well wtf are you waiting for??????

    Hi, I’m Opal — I bloom when I feel safe.

Three years old • French Bulldog / American Bulldog mix • Loyal, spicy, and full of hear.

My Story

When I came into Freedom Frenchie Rescue with my friends Ava and Val from Long Beach Shelter, I was in rough shape. I had a terrible case of kennel cough that made it hard to breathe, and I was completely drained. My foster mom kept me close to the humidifier, gave me my medicine, and let me rest for days while she whispered that everything was going to be okay.

Once I started to feel better, I finally got that little pep in my step again — and oh boy, did it feel good. I started wagging, exploring, and showing my playful side again. But my journey didn’t stop there… I still had some learning to do about trust and leadership.

My Personality

I’m a mix of French Bulldog and American Bulldog, which basically means I’m full of personality, smarts, and loyalty. I love deeply, but I also need direction, structure, and consistency. Without it, I get confused and anxious — and that’s when I can make poor choices with other dogs or get overly attached to my person.

I don’t want chaos and emotional. I want calm.

I don’t need saving. I need leading.

If you give me structure first and affection second, I’ll follow you anywhere. But if you smother me with love before boundaries are set, I’ll start calling the shots — and that’s where I get myself into trouble. I don’t want to be the boss; I just need someone who can show me what stability feels like.

My Ideal Home

I’m searching for a home with:

• Calm,      confident leadership — someone who believes in guidance, not chaos
• Structure      and routine — I feel safest when I know what to expect
• Positive,      steady energy — I’m sensitive to moods and environments
• Older      kids (13+) who understand that I need my space sometimes
• One      neutral dog who will ignore me… or no dogs at all
• Someone      open to ongoing training — because consistency changes everything

I can coexist beautifully when the energy is right and the rules are clear. I just need a person who sets the tone and gives me the security to settle.

My Habits & Hobbies

When the world feels calm, I’m at my best. I love to take long naps with a blanket tucked around me, and I fall asleep easiest when there’s ocean music playing in the background. I’m a big fan of Netflix nights after a long day of hiking or exploring — if you like to camp, walk, or just enjoy being outside, we’ll be best friends.

I’m learning crate training and view my crate as my safe space. I might bark at first, but I settle down. I’ll also let you know when I have to go potty, because I’m a communicator and I want to do things right.

Give me a few  bam bones, some puzzle toys, and a cozy blanket, and I’m in heaven.

My Healing

My spay surgery at the shelter didn’t heal right at first — the incision opened up and got a bit infected — but my rescue family jumped right in to help me recover. Between that and my kennel cough, I’ve been through quite a bit… but I’m feeling amazing now. I’m healthy, strong, and ready for my next chapter.

My Heart

If you look into my eyes, you’ll see both the struggle and the hope. I’ve been through uncertainty, but I’ve also learned what love looks like when it’s steady and real. When I feel safe, I soften. My whole face brightens, and I finally let my guard down.

I’m not for everyone — I’m for someone who understands dogs like me. Someone who believes in patience, calm energy, and consistency. Someone who can show me what it feels like to truly belong.

If you want a hiking buddy who’ll stay right by your side, a Netflix-and-cuddle partner who melts under blankets, and a best friend who will give you her full heart once she feels safe — that’s me. I’m Opal, and I’m ready to bloom. 

Opal is vaccinated, spay and microchipped, she is located in Florence, AZ. Her adoption donation fee is $1050.00 and you can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org

  SOOKIE — Back and Better Than Ever (Well… Almost!)

Hi friends! It’s me, Sookie, and guess what? I’m BACK with my Freedom Family! I know, I know — you probably thought I was living my best life (if you want to call it that he didn’t even have a blanket for me it was an effen towel) after my February adoption. But sometimes life doesn’t go the way we plan, and I came back a little different. My rescue family asked to send me with some of my items, and it was literally the towel…

When I returned, I was 8 pounds lighter, itchy all over, missing some fur, and feeling a little nervous and unsure of myself. My confidence had taken a vacation, and my skin was throwing a full-blown protest. But the good news? I’m in the right hands again, and my Freedom Squad is helping me heal — inside and out! Seriously this foster mom has the biggest smile with me every minute of the day and wipes me down daily, wrinkles, paws, ears and then I get paid in treats!!! Like GIRL that feels good, shouldn’t I be paying you!

About Me (The Good Stuff)

Let’s start with the important things: I’m an absolute love bug. If I had my way, you’d never stop giving me kisses and cuddles. Seriously, I could cuddle for sport and won the gold medal at the Olympics. I’m also your typical ball-obsessed Frenchie — if it bounces, rolls, or squeaks, it’s mine! I’ll chase it, thrash it, and proudly show it off like I just won a championship.

I’m crate trained like a pro — but fair warning, I require one small payment before entering: a treat. (haha paid again) You’re basically paying me for my cuteness, and I think that’s a fair deal. (Honestly, I should have my own OF page for dogs.)

At night, I’m happy to sleep in my crate or snuggle up right next to you in bed — your choice. I love food (like, love love it), so a slow feeder bowl is my best friend. I’ve also been known to pull a little “heist” and sneak bites from other bowls if you’re not watching. Oops.

Social Life

I get along wonderfully with other dogs, even the bossy ones. I’ve adjusted beautifully to my foster home — and when my foster mom went on a trip, I stayed with a sitter for three days and did amazing! I’m still rebuilding my confidence, but every day I’m feeling a little more like the old Sookie again. I went to this Halloween event, and I was a legit smoke show, so I went to my area and just sat in the middle while all the other rescues came around sniffing me and I didn’t care one bit I was eating it up!

Work in Progress

Okay, real talk: potty training is still a thing. I do go to the back door to signal when I need to potty, but sometimes I forget and start sniffing around the floor. Basically, I’m inpatient and don’t want to hold it. So, when I say I have to go that means I HAVE TO GO. My foster mom says that’s my “take me out NOW” cue. I’ve had a few accidents, but I’m working on it — promise!

My Skin & Health

When I came back, my allergies were out of control. I’m currently on a special limited-ingredient diet, antibiotics for my ears and paws, a probiotic supplement, and Duoxo S3 for my hot spots. My ears need regular cleaning, and my wrinkles get wiped down daily (I call it my spa treatment). My foster mom says I’m healing beautifully and looking more fabulous every day. We are trying to avoid allergy meds because they are toxic but if it is a must then we will!

What I’m Looking For

I just want a home that will love me for the long haul — through the itchy days, the cuddly nights, and the ball-chasing chaos in between. I’m starting over, and I know this time it’s going to be forever.

So, if you’re looking for a loyal snuggle bug with a heart of gold (and a personality that belongs on reality TV), come meet me. I promise I’ll make you laugh, fill your heart, and maybe steal your snacks. Apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org, I am located in Tempe, AZ and have been spay vaccinated and microchipped from last time. Also my adoption donation fee is $1050.00.

Hi… I’m Joplin, wild heart, raspy spirit, and zero apologies

(Yes, like Janis — and if you love her, I’m already your girl.)

There’s just something about me. A vibe. A soul. A little rasp, a little magic. People say I remind them of an old-school singer who felt everything deeply — and honestly? I’ll take that as a compliment. 

My Story (told by me, obviously)

I followed a couple home one day while they were walking their dogs. I just knew I needed people. No one in the neighborhood claimed me, and it was pretty clear I’d been through a lot. I was covered in mites, missing most of my fur, and needed way more medical care than they could give — so they called Freedom Frenchie Rescue, and that’s when my glow-up really started.

I’ve worked hard to heal, inside and out. And let me tell you… I’ve come a LONG way.

My Heart & Personality

I am a total sweetheart.

Dogs? Love them.

People? Love them more.

Strangers? I’ll go right up and say hi.

I do have a little fear of being left — I like knowing my people are nearby. Confidence and reassurance are huge for me, and when I have that? I absolutely thrive. I love watching the other dogs, playing with them, and supervising everyone like the tiny potato manager I’ve become.

My foster dad says I float around the yard, snorting, supervising, and doing my very un-graceful walk — and honestly, he just giggles the whole time. Same, sir. Same. He really has nothing bad to say about me, lets be real if he did he would be reporting it to Mo.

My Medical Notes (the honest part)

I’ve recovered really well, but I’m still missing some patches of fur. Most of it has grown back — it just took a long time, and it may continue filling in at my new home.

I also had surgery to remove my cherry eyes… and yep, they came back. One is always out, the other pops in and out. We’re not doing another surgery — because this is who I am. And if someone doesn’t want me because of that? They’re missing out on a whole lotta love. Around here, personality > looks, always.

The Important Stuff

• I love snacks.

• I love treats.

• I love food.

• Did I mention snacks?

• The cuddles they are a must, you better fall asleep before me if snoring keeps you awake!

I’m potty trained, rarely have accidents, and I know how to use the doggie door like a pro.

I’m likely mixed with English Bulldog, I’m on the smaller side, and I’ve officially turned into a round little potato — perfect for cuddling, obviously.

My Final Pitch

If anyone is going to put a New Years spell on you… it’s me.

I’m the 2026 miracle you didn’t know you needed at midnight. 

My unique look fits my loving, soulful, irresistible personality perfectly. I give off an energy that people feel — and once you feel it, you’re done for. I promise.

So if you’re looking for love, laughter, snorts, supervision, cuddles, and a little rock-and-roll soul…

Love Joplin and a glass of Jack.

And I’m ready to come home and you can have a piece of my heart. I am vaccinated, spay and microchipped, currently I am being fostered in Scottsdale, AZ. My adoption donation fee is $1050.00. You can apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org.

     Meet Lilie (18 lbs of “I’m Christmas cute AND I know it”)

Hi hi hiiii! I’m Lilie, I’m 2 years old, and I came to the Freedom Squad alongside my buddy Rosie (nope, we’re not related — just two little survivors who went through the same storm together).

My “Glow-Up” Story

When we first got to rescue, we were both really sick with a highly contagious case of pneumonia. It was so intense that Rosie even spread it to some of her foster siblings. The good news? The rescue worked HARD for us — lots of vet visits, lots of care — and we’ve cleared the pneumonia. I’m officially on the mend and feeling so much better.

The Lilie Soundtrack (aka My Trachea Quirk)

Here’s my little lifelong quirk: I have tracheal hypoplasia , so I’ll always sound like a congested little girl. Sometimes you’ll hear snorts, little noises, and occasionally I might have some “boogers” running down my nose. It’s just part of my package — and it does not stop me from living my best life. What you need to know is since I have this genetic medical issue I can not be spay. While trying to intubate me twice blood entered the tube, my doc did not want to take the risk in me aspirating. It is just not worth the chance of me loosing my life. 

I am going to have a Trachea wash on 1/08 and send a sample to the lab because my white blood cell count is higher then it should be. We will have the tests results pretty quickly.

Food Plan That Keeps Me Strong

Because I can sometimes regurgitate, the rescue has me on fresh pet diet to help me keep weight on (and guess what — it WORKED). I’ve gained a few pounds, I’m thriving, and we want to keep me feeling strong and steady.

My Humidifier Habit

I’m a fancy girl with a wellness routine: I do best sleeping with a humidifier near my crate or in the room I’m sleeping in. It helps keep everything more comfortable and cleared out for me.

Ball Is Life

And yes… I am THAT girl. I’m obsessed with balls. Like… if there’s a ball, I’m locked in. It’s my favorite thing in the whole world and I will happily audition for the role of “Professional Ball Enthusiast” in your home.

My Perfect Home

I’d love a home that understands my trachea quirk and keeps up with my simple comfort routine (humidifier + good diet). If you want a little buddy who’s sweet, recovering strong, and ready to live a cozy, happy life with a ball in her mouth… I’m your girl.

Ready to meet me?

Of course you are! I need a responsible family that is going to take on my constant congestion and shower me with love! Please do not apply to adopt me because I’m just “cute” because I am more then that. I am vaccinated and microchipped, my adoption donation fee is $1050.00. Whoever adopts me will have to sign an agreement that they understand I am not spay and I can not be, all adopters pets must be altered and certs will be requested. The rescue will do check in's to confirm my new family is upholding the agreement. Currently I am being fostered in Phoenix, AZ, you can apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org

Hi, I’m Clover — Professional Snack Supervisor & Sunshine Enthusiast 

Hi friends! My name is Clover, I’m 7 years young, and I’m here to tell you that senior is just a word — not a lifestyle. 

I came to Freedom Frenchie Rescue from the Yuma Animal Shelter after things got a little dramatic during what was supposed to be a routine spay. Turns out my spleen had other plans, so the humans made the brave call to do a splenectomy and save my life. I was weak, anemic, and honestly… not feeling very sparkly for a bit.

But give a girl good food, patience, and a whole lot of love, and watch what happens!

Fast forward a few weeks and — boom — I’m back on top of the world.

My Personality (a.k.a. Why Everyone Falls in Love With Me)

I am a super sweet lady with big doll eyes and a smile that asks for just one more back scratch.

I get along with all dogs, but I have a special place in my heart for my big senior foster brother, Petey — he’s my guy. 

I’m currently fostered with a few younger boys who are OBSESSED with a giant plastic horse ball. And yes… I keep up.

But let’s be clear — I’m more of a playground supervisor than a wild child. Think: teacher with snacks in her pocket.

Speaking of snacks…

First in line for breakfast

First in line for dinner

Hovering nearby in case anyone leaves leftovers

Efficiency matters.

Home Life & Daily Routine

I knew the doggy door before surgery and I’m getting right back into the routine — I love going in and out just to show off. Potty training is coming along beautifully now that my body feels good again.

My favorite pastime?

Having my back scratched with an actual back scratcher or massager. I will lock eyes with you, smile, and politely request more. Please comply.

When my foster dad leaves for work, I take my post on a bench by the big bay window with my foster brothers — like one of the guys. (The other ladies wait on the couch. I earned this spot.)

I wait patiently until his car pulls up… then I’m first out the doggy door to greet him and inspect what he may have brought home for me.

Yes, I am spoiled. Yes, I deserve it.

A Note on Being a “Senior”

We truly don’t understand why someone would abandon a senior dog…because I sure don’t act like one. Since healing from surgery and leaving the shelter, I’ve been glowing — happy, active, loving, and full of life. I’ve been with the rescue for two months, and now I’m ready for the best chapter yet.

My Forever Wish

I’m looking for a home that appreciates a sweet, loyal, joyful soul who brings calm, love, and sunshine wherever she goes.

I promise to supervise your household, greet you like you’ve been gone forever, and remind you daily that the best dogs are the ones who’ve lived a little.

If you’re ready for a Clover in your life…

I’m ready for forever. 

Clover is vaccinated, spay and microchipped, she is being fostered in Scottsdale, AZ. Her adoption donation fee is $850.00 and you can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org

     Meet Rosie — The 26-Pound Pocket Comedian 

HOME LIFE 

Hi everyone! 

I’m Rosie, three years old and 26 pounds of pure goofy goodness. Now that I’m healthy again, my home life is basically a full-time comedy show. I spend my days climbing inside the toy box, flipping it over, digging to the bottom, and pulling out every single toy like I’m on a treasure hunt. If my foster parents aren’t paying attention, I hop up on the couch with a toy in my mouth and gently tap them until they join my game. I play hard, nap even harder, and love short walks around the block and quick adventures to the park across the street. I’m silly, curious, dramatic, and extremely dedicated to keeping my household entertained.

 PERSONALITY & QUIRKS 

My personality is a mix of puppy energy and diva confidence. I’m fully convinced the world revolves around me — and honestly, I’m not wrong. I love making my people laugh, I follow them everywhere they go, and I have a flair for dramatic entrances and exits, especially when it comes to the doggie door. I’ll go outside… then immediately turn around and come back in because why not? I like to keep things fun. I am affectionate, expressive, and always ready to charm the room with my big eyes, tiny taps, and toy-delivery service. If you like content and taking photos I am your girl I will wear anything and pose my tail off! 

MEDICAL HIGHLIGHTS 

When I arrived at Freedom Frenchie Rescue, I was battling a very contagious pneumonia. I had to get X-rays, multiple vet visits, and almost four weeks of strong antibiotics. I wasn’t feeling great, but I fought through it like a warrior queen. Now I’m fully recovered, feeling amazing. My tummy has settled, I’m keeping my meals down, and my energy is back to full clown mode. I sleep quietly through the night in my crate and wake up ready to take on the world (and the toy box). My allergies suck (typical Frenchie) but I am currently on allergy meds hoping to be off one day with the right food and supplements to control that. 

TRAINING & STRUCTURE

 I’m a smart girl who learns fast, but I definitely need structure. Food is very serious to me, and I can guard it, but my foster mom is helping me work through it. I respond beautifully to confident humans who give clear direction and boundaries. When I know the routine and expectations, I shine. I’m crate trained, I’m potty trained, and I’ve learned how to use the doggie door… even if I use it in very dramatic ways. I like consistency, calm energy, and humans who are leaders, not pushovers. I like my foster brother Wally but Peanut is not a fan and we just do not get along sometimes but he is older and set in his ways and I like to protect my toys and food. 

DOG SOCIAL LIFE 

I have opinions about other dogs. Very strong opinions. I don’t mind some dogs, but I definitely don’t love every dog. My foster brother Peanut is three times my size and I still tell him the entire house is mine. He disagrees, so we are currently living on opposite sides of the gate. I can absolutely live with the right dog — someone calm, respectful, and not pushy — but slow introductions are a must. I would also thrive as the only dog in the home, where I can be the center of the universe like I know I was destined to be. 

THE HOME I’M HOPING FOR

 I’m looking for a home that understands structure, leadership, and laughter. I don’t want chaos; I want confidence. I want someone who appreciates a dog with personality, someone who loves to laugh, someone who enjoys a little spice mixed with a lot of sweetness. I bond deeply, I love hard, and I bring so much joy into a home. I’m not a background dog — I’m the star of the show. If you want a dog who will keep you laughing, keep you company, and keep your heart full, I might be your girl. 

READY TO MEET ME? 

If you’re ready for a little comedian with a huge heart, I’d love to meet you. I’m Rosie — healthy, sweet, goofy, and so ready for my forever family. Fill out an adoption application and let’s start our story together. You can apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org, my adoption donation fee is $1050.00. I am spay, vaccinated, and microchipped, currenty being fostered in Mesa, AZ.

The Ultimate Adventure Buddy & Cuddle Companion! 

Boba 2 year old and weights 27-pound French Bulldog with a heart as big as his journey. Found as a stray in Southern California, he came into rescue with a prolapsed rectum that required multiple surgeries. After two unsuccessful purse string procedures, he underwent a more invasive surgery to secure his rectum to his stomach wall. Despite everything he’s been through, Boba remains an incredibly sweet, affectionate, and resilient little guy. 

Personality Perks: This handsome boy has a playful, gentle nature and enjoys romping around with his foster sibling. When Boba gets excited, he hops like a bunny off his back legs, it is to cute! He generally gets along well with females and 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. 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. We just did a gut biome test on him and everything came back great!!! 

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.

  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.

  WIDE LOAD ALERT: I’m Doohmer

Hi. I’m Doohmer. I’m 5 years old and shaped like a brick wrapped in velvet. I came to Freedom Frenchie Rescue from Riverside County with a girl named Darla. Fun fact about my origin story: someone dropped us off a block away from the shelter. The only reason we were found is because a shelter employee was leaving and saw it happen, called the shelter and we were already making our way towards the shelter when we heard the other dogs.  Timing saved our lives. I prefer not to dwell on that part — I prefer snacks and naps.

About Me & Darla

Everyone thought Darla and I were bonded. Turns out… nah. We were separated to test it, and she is absolutely thriving and living her best life. Me? Same. I could not care less. No hard feelings. I’m very comfortable doing my own thing and vibing independently.

My Medical Glow-Up

When I came in, my eyes were a mess. I had entropion, which means extra skin was rolling inward and causing infections and making it really hard for me to see. I had surgery to fix it, and wow — it’s so nice to finally see the world clearly. I might need a touch-up someday, but right now I’m thriving and there’s no need to go back in. I feel good. I look good. I see snacks now.

Potty Training? Nailed It.

Let me brag for a second. Since moving into my foster home, I have had zero accidents after the first day. None. I now whine at the door when I need to go out. Do I always pick the correct door? No. But any door + a whine = I tried, and that counts. My bark-cry is loud, loving, and very effective for getting attention.

My Personality (Slow But Powerful)

I live by one rule: why rush? Unless snacks are involved — then I move with intention. I love everyone. Dogs, cats, pigs, horses, humans… if you have a pulse (or hooves), I’m a fan. I’m social, affectionate, and happiest just being near my people — preferably on a soft surface where I can fully sprawl and contemplate my next meal. With smaller dogs, I love them maybe its the big looking beast in me and they are just my little dudes I protect!

Important Kid Disclaimer

I am not recommended for small children. Not because I’m scary — because I am approximately one ton of enthusiasm and mass. I mean well. Physics does not. Older kids and adults who understand wide-load energy are a better fit for me.

Foster Mom Pupdate

I recently went to a horse show and absolutely crushed it. I wasn’t intimidated at all. I met tons of new people and dogs, soaked up all the attention, and may have assisted myself to part of a grilled cheese. Zero regrets, but my humans regretted it later...haha!

Why You’ll Love Me

If you’re looking for a slow-moving, snack-motivated companion with a huge heart and an even bigger head, I’m your guy. I’m affectionate, social, housetrained, and deeply committed to comfort.

Adopt me. Bring snacks. Lower expectations for speed. 

I am neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, my adoption donation fee is $1100.00. You can apply for @freedomfrenchierescue.org and I am currently being fostered in North Phoenix, AZ

  Hi, I’m Benny (Grumpy Face, Soft Heart) My Story (Told by Me) So… you want to know about me.

 I’m Benny — a grumpy-looking, secretly soft Frenchie who was once someone’s pet and then suddenly found himself unwanted. I landed at Long Beach Animal Shelter, and thanks to Freedom Frenchie Rescue, I was given a second chance. Now I’m navigating this whole “rescue life” thing, learning that the world can be safer and kinder than I once believed.

 The Honest Stuff 

I can come off a little grumpy at first, and I resource guard (big surprise!! I'm a Frenchie...) I bond strongly with my people and prefer calm, respectful interactions. Like many Frenchies, I’m sensitive and observant, and I do best in an environment that isn’t overly chaotic. Once I feel secure, I relax and show just how affectionate I really am. The Sweet Side (Yes, It’s Real) Under the grumpy exterior, I’m a serious cuddle bug. I love belly rubs, ear scratches, gentle affection, warm blankets, and curling up near my person while they work or relax. I enjoy having my own space but will happily come over for affection, melt into your arms, then wander back to my bed like I meant to do that all along. In a calm home with one or two dogs, I truly shine.

 My Manners & Training 

I need structure and consistency first give me the love later or I will walk all over you and run your house. I’m fully potty trained and eat two meals a day. Sometimes I might mark my territory... I’m learning basic commands like “sit” and how to wait politely for treats — patience is a work in progress, but I’m improving every day. Indoors, I am done wearing a belly band as a reminder, and outside I handle my business like a gentleman. I may give off a tough vibe, but I genuinely want to do well and please my people. 

My Daily Routine 

I enjoy quiet, cozy spaces and a predictable routine. I love laying in a dog bed near the TV or tucking myself under a desk while you work. I’m observant, curious, and independent, and I settle nicely once I know what to expect. I’ll be moving into a long-term foster soon, where my personality will continue to blossom. Why I Might Be Your Dog I’m affectionate in my own way, smart, sensitive, and deeply loyal. I bond strongly with my people and thrive with consistency and patience. I don’t need perfection — just someone who understands Frenchies and is willing to let trust grow naturally. 

A Note From My Foster

 At first, Benny needed time and space to decompress — and once he had it, his personality began to shine. He became more playful, curious, and engaged with the world around him. The right home will continue to bring out his confidence and fun side with time and understanding. As most rescues that come in I want to play but super unsure and have trust issues, but I do engage with the ladies! I prefer a home with no dogs or a few so I am less likely to guard you. You can pay attention to me with our "paying attention to me" That's when I'm at my best! I went to foster but came back to Mo's because, it did not work out and i snapped and bit the other person. Since I have been at Mo's I haven't shown any aggression. Sometimes its just the environment. 

My Next Chapter

 I’ll be moving into a long-term foster home soon, where we’ll learn even more about who I am. But for now, this much is clear: I’m a potty-trained, independent, cuddle-loving Frenchie with a lot of heart — and I’m ready for a home that sees me for who I am. If you love Frenchie's but your not a cuddle then I am your dude! 

P.S I am vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, fostered in Mesa, AZ and you can apply for me at freedomfrenchierescue.org, and read how the adoption process works! Also do not apply for me if you want me to be your fashion statement, that is not my cup of tea!

 Love, Soft Hearted Benny
