Meet Astra: A True Survivor with a Heart of Gold!
This 6 year old angel is a French bulldog mix full of endlessly loyalty, and a story that is nothing short of remarkable. Rescued from a Southern California shelter, Astra came into care in heartbreaking condition—covered in mange, missing 75% of her fur, and with cropped ears that had endured years of neglect. This created huge masses in her ears. But Astra’s resilience and the dedication of her care team turned her story into one of triumph. During her recovery, Astra underwent TECA surgery to remove painful masses in her ears caused by years of suffering. There was even a chance she might lose her ears entirely, but thanks to the expertise of her amazing vet, her adorable little nubs were saved! Today, Astra is fully healed and rocking her one-of-a-kind look with pride. She does have hard time of hearing but it is not completely gone! A mix of healing and the Frenchie selective hearing of treat bags and the word "play"!
Personality:
This sweet girl is as gentle as a summer breeze and as sweet as cherry pie. Astra doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She’s potty trained (though she might need a little patience while transitioning to her new routine) and absolutely adores being around her people. Whether she’s basking in the sun with her doggy friends, shadowing her foster mom around the house, or curling up on the couch to watch Yellowstone, Astra’s gratitude for her second chance at life is written all over her happy little face. Astra also loves going for walks, showing off her confident stride and charming smile to everyone she meets. While she may not have the classic French Bulldog look, her loving eyes, gentle demeanor, and unshakable spirit make her unforgettable. Her favorite toys are the water hose, a bone and a ball when it is bounced
Home Life:
Astra would thrive in a home where she can bask in love, snuggle with her family, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. She’s perfect for someone looking for a calm, loving companion who knows the value of a second chance. Astra’s transformation is nothing short of inspiring, and she’s ready to bring joy and love into a forever home. Could you be the family she’s been waiting for? Adopt Astra and welcome a true survivor into your heart.
She is vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. Apply for Astra on our site. She is located in Scottsdale, AZ

Buddy our Little Elder Introvert Who Is A Gentleman At Heart
Meet Buddy, the French Bulldog with the personality of a 1920s flapper dancer! This 7-year-old charmer came to us as an owner surrender due to family changes and concerns over his behavior around young children. While Buddy showed some aggression in his previous home with their toddler, he has been adjusting with his foster home, When it comes to Buddy, allow him to come to you! Slow introductions are required with other dogs, as he prefers to do his own thing rather than join in on their antics.
Buddy is a sweet, introverted soul who thrives in a calm and quiet environment. He has a gentle sway in his hips when he walks, which only adds to his unique personality. Whether he’s “talking” in his hilarious Frenchie bark, exploring the house, playing with his toys (his favorite thing in life is to play), or enjoying a long nap, Buddy knows how to keep himself entertained.
Ideal Home:
Buddy is looking for a home with no children under 10 years old, that are well versed in leaving a dog be (he is not looking for a best friend), as he finds chaotic environments overwhelming. He would do wonderfully in a household with:
• A small, quiet family with older children
• A single person who wants a loyal companion
• A peaceful couple who can provide a calm and structured environment
Buddy loves his crate (it’s his safety zone) and prefers it to be accessible so he can come and go as he pleases. His favorite spot is a cozy dog bed by the couch, where he can keep an eye on you while relaxing. But sometimes he will curl up on your lap for a cuddle, all on his terms!
Health & Special Care Needs:
Buddy is healthy overall, but as a senior French Bulldog, he has a few age-related conditions:
• Spinal Issues (IVDD): Managed with medication, crate rest, and non-surgical therapies such as acupuncture or chiropractic treatments.
• Allergies: He is on a salmon-based diet and supplements (hip and joint supplements, probiotics) to keep him feeling his best.
• Eyes: One of Buddy’s eyes is slightly cloudy due to a repaired ulcer, but it doesn’t affect his quality of life.
• Mobility: He walks on all fours and is not incontinent. Continued care, like therapy and a safe home layout, will help him thrive.
Personality:
Buddy is a true introvert who loves peace and quiet. He’s not one for rough housing but adores cheek and ear scratches. His quirky bark—part talk, part Frenchie charm—is sure to make you laugh. He may not be the life of the party, but he’s the perfect companion for someone who values quiet moments and a loving presence. He loves to go for short walks, but we always advise to not let strangers pet.
Buddy has plenty of life and love left to share. With his foster family’s care, he’s been thriving, and we’re confident he can continue living a happy, comfortable life with the right adopter. This guy needs a home to live out the rest of his golden years quietly with a couch potato.
If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion to share your days with, Buddy might just be your perfect match! He is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Please apply for Buddy on our website, freedomfrenchierescue.org, located in Buckeye, AZ

Westin The Spicy Football, Looking for His Forever Home!
Westin is a 7.5 to 8 year-old (estimated due to shelter life), 18-pound French Bulldog with a big personality and an even bigger heart once you earn his trust. His journey has been nothing short of heartbreaking. After his owner passed away, Westin was surrendered to Long Beach Animal Shelter, where he struggled to adjust. Can you imagine how terrified he was? From a familiar home to a loud, unfamiliar shelter, surrounded by strangers it was overwhelming for him. He was extremely guarded and fearful at the shelter, allowing only one employee near him. When we picked him up, he refused to be handled, so he was carefully crated for transport. Once we arrived at our hotel, we gave him space with no pressure, and zero expectations, just time to decompress. Slowly, we watched his walls come down.
He was great with the other dog we had with us.
He chose to engage on his own terms.
He took treats and even climbed onto Mo’s lap, but not without some growling!
Progress Is Made:
Westin has continued to make progress in his foster home, and has warmed up well to family life! His new favorite thing, nightly evening walks under the stars in his wagon! He has learned what true love is, but of course when he's ready. Westin is a sweet gentleman when he learns trust with you! His age does not fit his energy or personality.
Westin’s Perfect Home
Westin is not your typical cuddly Frenchie he’s an old soul who values his space, but he will warm up to you with time. As like us adults the older we get the more we just love having our own space in this busy day to day world. He needs a patient, understanding adopter who will respect his boundaries and allow him to adjust.
Westin loves:
Sunbathing.
Playing with toys.
Evening walks/rides in his wagon
Treats are his love language!
Baths & wrinkle cleaning (if done gently).
What to Expect:
He will growl and possibly nip at first, this is his way of setting boundaries. He requires the 3-3-3 rule (3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to adjust, 3 months to feel at home). Westin is not a fan of being picked up. So do not have an expectation to pick him up for a few days. Also do not expect to have the meet and greet goes as you plan. You can’t judge this guy and how he will be in the future the first time you meet him. You must be able to jump in with both feet for Westin and trust the process. If you want more information on that, please watch his video on social media as it has taken two weeks to get where he is today with Mo and her family. If you are impatient, he is not for you. No children under 13 years of age unless you are experienced with rescue frenchie’s.
Medical:
Westin has a sway in his walk and some back leg tremors, but he manages well with daily Gabapentin, joint supplements, and probiotics. His ears require regular cleaning, but as long as you go slow, he tolerates it well.
Is your home the one for Westin!
Westin needs an experienced, patient adopter willing to give him the time and space he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will be your best friend once he learns to trust you, he might just be your perfect match. He is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Apply to adopt Westin at freedomfrenchierescue.org! Located in Casa Grande, AZ

The Ultimate Snuggle Snack Queen!
Looking for a best friend who will adore you, make you laugh, and steal your spot on the couch? Katie is a 5-year-old 32 lb. French Bulldog with a heart of gold, a love for snacks, and a smile that could melt glaciers! And can we say resilient, she has an incredible story!
Katie's Journey:
Katie’s journey is nothing short of inspirational—she was an owner surrender who came to the freedom squad after she was already with two previous owners that could not care for her. While Katie was in our care, she was excitedly playing at the park chasing her foster sibling and was injured and lost the use of her back legs. We immediately took her to the specialist and had to decide if we were going to do surgery or treat her with medication. With advice from our vet, we decided to treat with medication and within a few weeks Katie was back up on her feet. With the help of her foster parents, some physical therapy and crate rest Katie is back to her usual self of just having a good time! Resilience with her is amazing. With her new foster, she has already shown great strides in showing she doesn't require a diaper (she is over that fashion statement for good), she is not incontinent, and she is back to being a nosey and adventurous frenchie as part of the action! She is curious, interested in all things life, and is ready to join a pack! She is even learning, what is a cat?! What are these 4 legged creatures that make a hissing noise at me!
Medical:
This big girl had to be put on a diet that was a must and has lost about 8lbs and can continue to lose just a few more so it takes the pressure off her spine and discs. She is running around and harassing her foster siblings like she was never injured. To keep her thriving, she’ll need a family that will watch out for her, help keep her back healthy and help her stay fit to ensure she stays a success story.
Favorites:
Something that doesn’t slow her down... snacks! Katie LOVES trying new foods! It is a great way to keep her active and fit with a great goal at the end. She loves healthy snacks and will want to please you for some! Whether it’s a crunchy carrot or a fancy gourmet dog biscuit, she’s always down for a taste test. Her current diet consists of salmon kibble, with pumpkin a topping with bone broth.
Personality:
Love Bug Extraordinaire: Katie is an expert cuddler and would happily spend her days lounging in bed (like most Frenchie’s), snuggling on the couch, or soaking up all the attention you can give. She adores all humans and flashes her signature smile whenever she sees her favorite people. Katie is the ideal dog as she is crate trained, leash trained, easy to groom, and a huge fan of car rides. She thrives already on a schedule, and is excited to show her potty breaks outside! She was determined to jump back into life.
Behavior Traits:
Katie does well with other dogs but sometimes she has a sassy side—sometimes she plays nice, and sometimes she likes to be the bossy queen of the house. She might resource guard her human because she is literally all about the attention, but takes time and patience to teach her that she can share the love. Katie will do great in a home with a more submissive dog that could care less about attention 24/7 or as an only dog. We feel that this may have a lot to do with her injury as when she came to us, she did great with the pack the first few weeks. Once the injury happened and Katie had to be on crate rest, she wanted nothing more than to be out and about with everyone!
She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. You can apply to adopt her on our website freedomfrenchierescue.org. She is located in Casa Grande, AZ

Meet Paris: Not From France, But Every Bit Demure
Paris joined the Freedom Squad after being rescued from the Arizona Humane Society. She was brought in as a stray, suffering from a prolapsed rectum and severe diarrhea. After undergoing surgery, she’s been making a fantastic recovery! Now, we are focused on managing her diet to keep her tummy happy. She’s currently on a high-protein hydrolyzed prescription diet and receiving probiotics to help firm up her stool and living it up with her foster family!
Foster Update:
Paris is doing so well in foster life! She has no problems with other dogs, and seems to be interested in playtime! She is currently having her food switched, and getting her stomach just right! She loves food, so it's been finding the perfect fit for her. She has learned the doggy door! Go Paris! And does fantastic with her foster siblings in the pack. She's fit right in! She is a fantastic dog, just takes a few minutes to trust new people. With her foster mom holding her, for introductions, it's allowed her to stay safe and yet be her adventurous self.
Personality & Daily Life:
One thing Paris is absolutely obsessed with? Sunbathing! This girl is acting like she is on the beach in the south of France. She is the queen of soaking up the sun, loving her time on her elevated outdoor bed, rolling around and squinting into the sunlight like she’s having a spiritual moment with the universe.
She enjoys playing with her foster siblings, and has really become part of a pack in just a few short weeks. Paris loves food time, and due to her past of being a stray she likes her feeding time to be private to enjoy! She is currently fed outside her crate, and is doing great with it! She learned routine in her foster family, and still likes to dine solo.
Pack Life & Training Needs
Paris has learned in a short time how to navigate pack dynamics, so a slow transition into a home with another dog will be key as she thrives with structure and routine. The 3-3-3 rule will apply to help her adjust successfully. She enjoys cuddles, pets, and quality time on the couch watching Netflix with her people or settling in with the rest of the dogs when it’s time to wind down for the night. She will do best with a more submissive dog, (one dog family) or as an only dog as she has learned she is the Queen, and can often times come off as dominant.
Medical Status
Paris is medically sound, with no extreme health concerns aside from her ongoing digestive management. Her prolapse has healed and she is doing great, and shows no signs of it reversing.
Paris is looking for a loving home that will continue to support her journey! If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this sun-loving, ball-chasing, cuddle-craving girl, apply to adopt Paris at freedomfrenchierescue.org. She is vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is located in Florence, AZ.

Meet Cardi — 3 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 Mesa, AZ.
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 Princess Pixie -ready to rule your heart!
At just 16 pounds, 2.5-year-old Pixie is the tiniest royal in the kingdom of Freedom Frenchie Rescue—and trust us, she knows it. This little lady is princess-obsessed, squeaky ball-obsessed, and fully committed to living her best pampered life. Her prized possession? A squeaky ball she carries around like it’s royal treasure.
History:
Pixie came to us from Long Beach Animal Shelter after no one came to claim her, but she strutted out like she owned the place—ready to play play play. A short bout of kennel cough slowed her sparkle, but she’s bounced back with a full tummy, a growing waistline (go girl!), and a snuggly spirit that makes every day sweeter.
Diet/training:
She’s fully potty trained, calm, and absolutely drama-free—unless you’re talking about fairy tale-level cuddles. Pixie thrives with other small pups but can be a bit unsure around larger dogs. At first, she may be shy, but give her a moment and she’ll transform from bashful to bouncy in no time. Pixie is currently on a raw diet and it has done wonders for her body! Her allergies are way better to the point of her hair has grown back. She has put on some much needed weight. Pixie eats twice a day and she looks forward to every meal!
Medically Pixie is healthy, once she had a cytopoint shot and kennel cough cleared up she has completely changed. Our vet gave her the boost she needed to get her back on track. She may have to continue with allergy medication but we really think that maintaining her diet and an allergy probiotic can help the most. Everything starts within the gut and her foster mom knows exactly what she is doing to help Pixie maintain! Pixie is currently recovering from her spay, and healing nicely!
Her royal routine includes:
Chasing sunbeams across the floor like it’s her full-time job. Staring dramatically out the window as if waiting for her prince (or her next treat delivery). He most favorite thing to do ever is snuggling up for long naps while her foster mom works nearby. By day, she’s a sunbathing queen. By night, she’s your little cuddle bug. All she’s missing is a castle of her own—and a loving family to worship her, obviously.
If you’re ready for a petite princess with a big heart, a squeaky ball, and a daily sunbath schedule, Pixie is your girl. She is vaccinated, spay, and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $1050.00. Please apply on our website at freedomfrenchierescue.org. Currently fostered in Scottsdale, AZ
Meet Jubilee –Pure resilience and utterly the most precious wrinkles on this planet!
Her rescue story:
Jubilee’s story touched over 30k people on social media — a sweet English Bulldog kept in a backyard for two years, grieving the loss of her only companion. She was overlooked, ignored, and left without basic care… until the Freedom Squad stepped in. And despite everything, Jubilee holds no grudges. She is the very definition of grace and gratitude.
From the moment she arrived, it was clear this girl had something special — an aura that can only be described as peaceful joy. She squirms with excitement when you walk by, and even when gently corrected, she wiggles like she’s just happy to be seen. Jubilee doesn’t need much — just love, consistency, and someone to show her the world she’s been missing.
Social life:
Socially she’s got it!! Loves to flutter around sniffing butts and getting pets from any and every one, but she’s still learning the ropes on social etiquette. Her doggy communication skills are catching up after years of isolation, but she’s picking things up fast — especially for a bulldog. She gets along beautifully with all her foster siblings, fur and human. She’s not one to engage in drama; in fact, she turns away from conflict and moves on with her day.
Jubilee is estimated at 2.5 years old and 48 pounds. She’s crate trained, hasn’t had a single accident, and thrives on her daily routine. Her meals are scheduled for 5:30am and 4:00pm as we work on helping her gain healthy weight. She’s learning not to jump up on people — it’s just her way of saying “I love you, I see you, thank you!” For that reason, we’d recommend older kids only, as she’s a sturdy girl with a lot of love to give (and no idea how big she is yet!).
Daily and medical care:
Jubilee is also undergoing a simple skin care routine — wrinkle cleaning, antibiotics, and regular baths (though she’s not a fan, she’s a champ about it). She is medically sound and doesn’t have any underlying issues that are of concern. Her coat is already softer, and her eyes less swollen. She loves yak bones and bully sticks — likely the first she’s ever had — and they’ve become part of her happy daily routine.
Day to day:
While we haven’t tested her with cats, we’re confident she’d either ignore them or befriend them. And yes — she LOVES a baby pool and will happily float with you by her side. Long walks, beach trips, kitchen hangouts, or just being near her people — Jubilee is up for all of it.
From her foster mom:
“If I had the space, Jubilee would never leave. She has my whole heart. There’s something about her spirit that brings me to tears. Dogs like her are why I rescue. I’ve watched her transform these past few weeks — her happiness is contagious, her resilience is inspiring. She is why I do this. To the family that gets to adopt her, know this: she will be a blessing in your life. She already is in mine! I will be very picky with what family she goes to as I want To see her all the time!”
Jubilee is ready for her next chapter — one filled with love, gentle guidance, bully sticks, a big dog bed, and all the adventures she’s waited her whole life to have. If you feel that pull in your heart, it might just be her calling you home. She is spay, vaccinated, and microchipped, you can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org. Jubilee adoption donation fee is $1050.00.
Meet Chloe – A Young Quiet Soul Searching for Forever
Chloe is a sweet and gentle French Bulldog who’s been through more than any young dog should. After being passed between multiple homes—including her most recent surrender due to not getting along with the resident cat—Chloe is finally safe with us and learning what it feels like to be loved unconditionally. She’s currently living in a foster home in Arizona, where she’s making beautiful progress each day.
Personality love:
When Chloe first came into our care, she was incredibly timid—wide-eyed, unsure, and very quiet. During her transport to Arizona, she curled up in a dog bed next to one of our resident Frenchie's, slowly warming up as the miles passed. It took her a few days to allow gentle touch without crouching down in fear, but with consistency and patience, Chloe began to show us her heart. Now, she comes up for attention, especially when the other dogs are around to give her a boost of confidence. She loves being part of the pack and thrives in the presence of other friendly pups.
Daily life and training:
Chloe is still working on potty training, but she’s excelling quickly. She has learned how to use the doggie door and just needs a little motivation and routine to stay on track. She’s a quiet girl—she doesn’t bark or cry—and she enjoys observing before jumping into the action. Her favorite time of day is the morning, when she bounces around the yard with her foster siblings, stretches into her best downward dog pose, and rolls across the turf for a good scratch. She recently discovered how much she enjoys the misters and even took a dip in the baby pool for the first time—this girl is smart and knows exactly how to cool off when it’s hot outside.
Medical and diet needs:
Medically, Chloe is in great shape. She was recently spayed, is fully vaccinated, and is currently on a fish-based diet to help manage some mild allergies. She receives medicated baths and a salmon-based probiotic daily, which she tolerates like a champ. Her coat is a beautiful dark brown with brindle paws and a darling little white patch on the back of her neck that makes her even more unique.
Foster report:
Chloe is still a little reserved when meeting new people, but her sweet and endearing personality continues to shine through. Her foster mom says she is one of the easiest dogs she’s had in a long time—calm, respectful, and incredibly loving. She waits patiently for meals and snacks and is slowly discovering the joy of toys and snuggles. She prefers calm energy (from her human), but once she’s comfortable, she’ll army crawl up next to you and become your shadow. She does excellent with other dogs and it’s a pleasure to have her in my home. Its rare to have two dogs so calm at the same time and she is one of them! Any person will be blessed to have her as their soul dog.
Chloe's Needs:
This girl deserves a forever home where she can be surrounded by love, stability, and understanding. She would do well with another dog in the home to help continue building her confidence, but she won't mind being an only dog also! Cats are not a fit for Chloe, but she is great with other dogs and respectful children. After being shuffled through too many homes in a short time, Chloe is ready to settle in and be someone’s constant. She’s not just looking for a home—she’s looking for her last one.
If you’re ready to give Chloe the love and patience she’s been waiting for, please apply to adopt her at freedomfrenchierescue.org. She is fully vaccinated, spay, and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $1050.00.

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.
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 8-month-old Frenchie came to us from Riverside County Shelter after being surrendered by his former owner due to IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). But don’t let the diagnosis fool you — this guy still knows how to party.
Sure, sometimes his booty drops and he scoots around like a chunky little Roomba, but then he’s right back up on all fours, zooming around like nothing happened. He’s got a built-in drift mode, and honestly? It’s kind of his signature move. Drift is a joyful, resilient little goofball with a huge appetite and an even bigger heart. He loves toys, tug-of-war with his bestie Kit, and every single snack you’re willing to share. He loves tug of war with his best friends Pinkey and Kit they play nonstop in the yard. Drift has the puppy power play with a lot of naps in between.
Foster update:
According to his foster mom, “When he comes out of his crate in the morning, it’s like he’s revving up his engine just to make it over that little bar at the bottom of the crate — trying not to get his butt stuck in it. Once he’s out, he’s full throttle, ready to eat and run outside to play with his friends!” He thrives on grass and carpet, where he can really dig in and get a good grip with those determined little toes. “He’s just got a huge heart and wants to be loved,” says his foster mom. “He really is such an easy guy — I hope someone gives him the chance he deserves.”
Therapy at home:
Drift is currently enjoying splashy water therapy sessions in his foster mom’s pool and is taking Gabapentin for comfort — but he may not need it long-term. We can’t predict the future of his mobility, but we can tell you this: he’s happy, hilarious, and full of love.
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 Finn – The Heavy-Headed Hunk with a Heart of Gold
This Big Rope fella is 3 years old and weighs about 24lbs, his unique features are a show of how he was kept prior to coming to us. His eyes were filled with fear but he has been building his confidence slowly and now he thrives of getting love.
When Riverside Shelter reached out to us about Finn, we weren’t prepared for the masterpiece of a Frenchie that would wobble into our rescue. This guy is a hilarious, abstract piece of living art—crate feet, blocky frame, and the most dramatic head flops you’ve ever seen. Physically, Finn’s built like a bowling ball and rests his big ol’ head on everything: your lap, your shoe, your other dog, the couch arm, or—yes—his own paws. Those paws? Constantly wet and dirty from his adorably slobbery resting habit. Luckily, he enjoys soaking them during bath time while his foster siblings get scrubbed.
Personality Love:
Finn is a bit of a misunderstood genius. He’s been learning what it means to be loved and safe. In the beginning, even a treat or a gentle approach made him flinch and back away. But now, his foster mom says he’s developing what can only be described as the “Finn Stare”—an intense gaze that will melt your heart from the inside out. Once you give him the look of love, he comes barreling over, floppy feet and all, with a head tilt so pure it should be framed.
Diet Quirks:
He’s not without his quirks—Finn drinks like he’s been crawling through a desert, which sometimes causes him to vomit. He’s slowly learning that water will always be there. He also struggles with eating from a slow feeder—those chunky cheeks and strong jaws make it hard—but he lives for mealtime. He has gained some weight we are very excited about that!
This couch-loving, soul-gazing sweetheart prefers his humans to dogs but will do the occasional butt sniff or cozy snuggle with his foster sister. He’s mostly independent, calm, and observant. While his eyes once held fear, they’re now starting to sparkle with trust and comfort.
Medical Love:
Finn shows no signs of major medical. His stance is awkward, and he obviously has some genetic issues that could possibly affect his future. Finns’ spine is curved and has crate feet that stick out to the side and are elongated. This is what happens when your cross genes that should not be crossed creating exotic looks.
Foster Pupdate:
He is now an excited little fella, when he first came into the rescue, I would always make jokes about how he rested his head on everything. It is so cute and endearing. It was something I’ve never seen before, that's what makes him so unique. He is still mastering potty training as his water intake is so high. He is starting to use his voice when wanting something and he seems to like most of the dogs in our pack. Finn has also put some weight on and is filling in nicely! We were worried about all the vomiting he was not getting enough nutrients and now he looks great! Like any Frenchie when there is over stimulation and attention he will snap on another dog then run away. Potty training is in progress (he will go when outside…he just doesn’t want to go outside, especially in the heat). He is a rescue they are here for a reason and if you are not prepared of Finns quirks, he may not be for you.
Ideal Home for Finn:
A calm, consistent environment is best for Finn, a lot of activity is not always his cup of tea but he does get spurts of energy. Someone who is gentle and understands the rewards of earning trust. Please keep in mind he is a "big rope" they come with genetic issues, do not have an expectation of a healthy Frenchie.
You can apply for Finn on our website at freedomfrenchierescue.org. His adoption donation fee is $1050.00. Finn is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. Are you ready to take this big eyed fellow into your life?
