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 sometimes, 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 Muse are now besties (go figure). After 3 weeks in her new foster home her and Muse are now sleeping together!! 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. Cardi is potty trained foster mom has taught her ques to let her know! She is great with dogs that match her energy.  She loves playing with them but she likes to play alone as well. She has to be the dominant dog of the house or it will not work out. 

Cardi is doing amazing now that she has switched foster homes and is with someone that understands her misunderstood personality. If you love camping and kayaks!! this girl loves the lake!! She had no idea and went right in (jacket on of course). Cardi is a great traveler and enjoys car rides!

Foster update:

 She’s thriving. We’re taking it slow, letting her make choices with guidance and structure, 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. Keep your household items put away because she will think they are hers and destroy them! She loves to be petted, cuddling in her foster moms arms to take a snooze and get her bootayyy scratched! Get this, her favorite past time is chasing the grasshoppers outside and having them for a snack! She will beg to go outside to just chase the grasshoppers. 

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 Casa Grande, 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.

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.

  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.

Foster Pupdate:

We call her the regulator she has that stank eye that will calm the other dogs quick. She is a lover and is my shadow, its her first no matter what! Good thing my Frenchie pack is independent...lol. Oh man does she love men, we go to home depot and she sits in front of one of the workers waiting for pets. She is super trained, you can tell she was someone's pet because she knows basic commands. Calista aims to please. 

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 Veruca – The Snuggle Queen with a Spunky Streak 

Veruca is a sweet, spunky little 1.5-year-old Fluffy Frenchie. She is 26 lbs who wears her heart on her paw. Her love language? Touch. She lives for cuddles, belly rubs, and curling up as close as possible to her humans. Once a shy little wallflower, she’s now blossoming into a loving, playful companion who just wants to be included in everything.

Personality:

Veruca is learning that the world isn’t so scary after all! She loves to play with her doggy friends—especially mellow females and respectful males—and she’s quickly figuring out that toys and treats are pretty amazing. At home, she’ll happily crawl right under your legs just to be the center of attention. She’s also a true crime junkie—her favorite thing is to cuddle on the couch while you binge your favorite docuseries. She may have a shy side (when meeting new people), but don’t let that fool you—Veruca has spunk, sass, and a heart of gold.

Health & Care:

Veruca has been fully vetted and is a healthy girl! She has mild allergies that are managed with a daily salmon probiotic, the right diet, and weekly medicated baths. Since arriving, her tummy has completely settled, and she’s thriving on her new diet. She was immediately put on a dewormer and that has definitely helped her improve her poops also. 

Training & Lifestye:

Her crate was once her safe zone, but she now enjoys time out with the pack. She has not problem going in it when it is time to let some other dogs out to play, but only after her she makes her rounds in the kitchen being nosey. Leash training is still a work in progress—she’ll need a patient adopter willing to help her gain confidence. Car rides are getting better she does love to ride shotgun with the AC blasting while getting pets. In her future we see a great traveler. Potty training is getting much better she will have a pee accident in her crate but as for #2 that stays outside. 

Foster Pupdate:

Veruca is special, she has the fluffy Frenchie demeanor that hops around looking for a good time but cautiously. She will grow out of that once she is settled into a loving home. She will be your shadow, and we are currently teaching her to nonstop jump for attention because she will get attention always. Her confidence is low so praising her when she has positive behavior is working. She needs a job because she is a busy body, watching her figure out of toys and treats are, has been a fun experience. For her new home do not have an expectation as she came to us knowing nothing of dog life in a home, but she can easily be molded into your family dynamic. She will need a home with patience. 

The Perfect Home:

Veruca would do best in a home filled with love, structure and patience, where she can continue building her confidence. A calm, dog-savvy pup friend would be a bonus, but what she really needs is a family who will shower her with the attention and affection she craves.

If you’re looking for a sweet cuddle bug with a playful, spunky side—Veruca is your girl! She is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, her adoption donation fee is $1100.00. You can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org, she is located in Mesa, AZ.

   Meet Hole – The Rockstar Wiggle Worm!

Introducing Hole, one of the 12 Rockstar Frenchie’s who joined the Freedom Squad from a breeder release. This girl is 2 years old and weighs about 27lbs! Hole has gone from shy and reclusive to a true social butterfly—and she’s loving her new chapter of freedom!

Personality & Quirks

Hole is a rocker chick at heart with the most infectious energy. Her foster family says she’s a total wiggle worm when she gets excited, and then the zoomies take over—leaving everyone in stitches from laughter. She loves her foster siblings, which include two Rottweilers and a Frenchie, and she plays beautifully with them. One of her favorite games is being chased around the house, tucked booty, zooming like a little superstar.

She also has a funny little habit of collecting toys. Her foster will gather them up, and Hole will slowly sneak them back to her spot, one by one, as if to say: “These are mine, thank you very much!”

Health

She was spay and given vaccines a few days after coming into the rescue and recovered really well. Our vets see no underlying health/genetic issues and is full of energy. 

Adventures & Training

Hole does great in the car and is learning from her doggy pack every day. She’s becoming more confident about going in and out with the group, and she’s working on potty training (she’s got peeing down, still figuring out poop). She’s also beginning to understand the doggie door and even responded to hand signals and verbal cues recently—smart girl! She doesn’t mind the car and is learning that when she gets to go for a ride she is doing something epic!

Foster pupdate:

She’s a good sleeper and does wonderfully snuggled in bed. She loves exploring the backyard, rolling in the grass, and following the herd wherever they go. Hole is gentle, funny, and full of potential—her foster dogs adore her, and it’s easy to see why. Hole loves celebrating a good fiesta and she lets her foster mom out her in the cutest outfits!! She is so amazing after everything she has been through and her personality shines more every day!

Ideal Home

Hole would do best in a home with another confident, playful dog she can learn from, but she could thrive as a spoiled only dog too if her adopter is committed to continuing her socialization, and works from home most the time. She’s blossoming more each day, and her forever family will get to see her rockstar personality truly shine.

Hole is vaccinated, microchipped, and spay, her adoption donation fee is $1050.00. She is located in Mesa, AZ. You can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org.

   Meet Basil, Nonstop Energy Then Crash for Cuddles!

Basil came to the Freedom Squad from Redlands Shelter missing most of her fur, battling mange, alopecia, and an upper respiratory infection. Basil is young 1 years old and 23lbs full of spirit and determined to get better! Fast forward—she is now looking absolutely fabulous and is ready to steal the show (and your heart).

This girl is a bundle of sass and excitement! Basil has endless energy—whether it’s chasing her foster siblings, jumping in baby pools, or showing off her infamous puddle zoomies. She is completely ball-obsessed (actually, obsessed might be an understatement). Her favorite playmate is her big pitbull foster brother, Rojo. Their “date nights” are epic wrestling matches followed by cuddles, and Basil would probably crawl inside of him if she could.

Basil’s playful personality comes with a dash of diva. She loves tug-of-war, and she fully intends to win every single time. She doesn’t always read other dogs’ “back off” signals, so continued guidance with doggie manners will help her shine. She also has a mischievous streak—sneaking shoes from the closet, zipping her toys through the doggy door, and keeping her foster family laughing daily.

Life with Basil isn’t all zoomies and sass—she’s also a snuggler at heart. After playing hard, she crashes even harder, curling up for the sweetest naps. She loves to cuddle up to Rojo or snuggle near her humans on the dog bed at night.

The Basil Facts 

   •    Potty training: A work in progress, but she’s catching on fast.

   •    Outdoors: Absolute favorite place to be—it’s a chore convincing her to come inside.

   •    Quirks: Known for quick “snacking” if you’re not fast with cleanup (yep, turds ). Loose poops may be from her own sneaky snacking.

   •    Must-haves: Baby pools, butt wipes by the back door, tough toys for tug, and humans who love her wild spirit.

   •    Bonus: She’s brave with the dog door and not afraid to carry treasures (or trouble) inside.

Basil is sassy, spunky, and date-worthy—perfect for someone who loves adventure, laughter, and a Frenchie with a big personality. If you’re ready for a whirlwind of fun with a side of cuddles, Basil just might be your girl.

Basil is fully vaccinated, spay, and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $1050.00. You can apply for her on our website at freedomfrenchierescue.org, she is located in Avondale, AZ.

    Meet Louise, Our Pocket-Sized Roly-Poly 

Say hello to Louise, a 4.5-year-old Pocket Bully who joined the Freedom Squad from the Arizona Humane Society. Her journey is one of resilience, second chances, and finally learning what it means to be loved.

When Louise first arrived, she was scheduled for her spay surgery at AZ humane — and to everyone’s surprise, it was discovered she was pregnant. Sadly, her body wasn’t in a condition to safely carry puppies, and at her age, it simply wasn’t fair to her. While that was unexpected news, we know it was the right decision for her health and her future.

Now, Louise is embracing a puppy-free life and discovering the joys of being a dog outside of a breeding crate. 

Personality & Quirks

Louise is full of personality and has her own silly way of demanding attention. She loves to greet you with a couple of gentle nibbles on your leg. If you’re wearing pants or a skirt, she might even grab it with her mouth to make sure you say hello. It’s all friendly — just her way of telling you she’s there and you’re hers! If you’re new to the breed, we encourage you to learn about Bully quirks, because Louise is the real deal. Louise is learning how to play with toys (sometimes interested, sometimes not). A loyal little shadow who loves to follow you around and stays under your feet. Playful with her foster siblings, though she’ll often wander off when she’s bored or simply curl up right next to you. She is always ready for mealtime, food is her love language.

Health & Progress

Louise came to us with poor skin and patches of missing fur from her past, but she has healed beautifully in foster care. Her coat is filling in, she’s no longer sad or shut down, and she’s excited about life. She does have a cherry eye, but since it’s not causing her any medical issues, we’ve decided not to put her through another surgery since this is cosmetic.

Medically, Louise has no underlying health issues that our vet has concerns for. Of course, due to the way she was bred, she does have some genetic deformities that can’t be fixed. She also has classic “crate feet” from a life spent confined. But despite everything she’s endured, she is pretty healthy and thriving — a true testament to her resilience.

She’s crate-free, using the doggie door, and still polishing up her potty training with her foster dad. Like any rescue pup, she will need patience and guidance as she adjusts to a new home — and we encourage adopters to keep the 3-3-3 rule in mind. Just because she acts one way in foster doesn’t mean she won’t need time and love to adapt in yours. She is gentle, mouthy, loving, and finally learning what it feels like to be a cherished family member. Playful with her foster siblings, though she’ll often wander off when she’s bored or simply curl up right next to you. Do not be surprised if she has accidents while in transition, she has not been easy to potty train. Louise lived in a crate and ate poop so learning the doggie door and not eating poop is big progress!

Louise is vaccinated, microchipped and spay she is  located in  Scottsdale, AZ. Her adoption donation fee is $1000.00, you can apply for her at freedomfrenchierescue.org

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 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.

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

 Meet Nirvana – The Chill Thinker of the Freedom Squad 

While the rest of his fluffy friends are bouncing around like rockstars on stage, Nirvana prefers the backstage life—catch him outside lounging under the misters, soaking in the morning sun, and just vibing with the world. He’s not as wild as the others from the breeder release—more of an observer, a deep thinker, the kind of dog who seems to be playing chess in his head before making his next move.

Personality:

Nirvana is around 3 years old, and 27lbs, and is doing really well with his transition into family life. He’s a big fan of cuddles and does the cutest little butt wiggle when he’s happy. Call his name and you’ll get the famous “turn-stop-look” move before he comes running your way. 

Nirvana is also known for his bromance with his buddy Metallica—they’re like bandmates who don’t need to be together but always sound better when they are. They’re not bonded, but they definitely share some rock-solid vibes. Nirvana especially loves hanging out with the ladies and has an easygoing, happy personality most of the time. That said, he feels more energy than most, and if tested, he won’t hesitate to stand his ground.

Training:

He’s mostly potty trained, working on crate training (and succeeding), and really starting to learn the ropes of being a pet rather than just a number. He listens pretty well—though let’s be real, we’re pretty sure he does it mostly for the human attention he never got before.

Health and wellness:

Nirvana is recovering from his neuter very well, the anesthesia was not so good to him the first day so he slept it off. He shows no other signs of major medical. Mealtime is a bit of a mood for him—sometimes he clears the bowl, sometimes he saves a snack for later (who can blame him?). Like the rest of his breeder crew, his tummy is still adjusting, but his poop is getting better every day as his body and mind catch up to this new life. We did start him on a dewormer and it seems to be helping. 

Overall: Nirvana is a happy, thoughtful boy who’s ready for a family that will give him structure, cuddles, and space to keep growing. He still needs a foster or an adopter (please note—we do not foster-to-adopt). Whoever opens their home to this guy is going to score a lifetime backstage pass to love and loyalty. We feel he will do well with other dogs his size since he came from a pack, a female, or submissive male or just a dog that can understand that he is new to family life. 

Nirvana is vaccinated, Neutered, and microchipped, he is located in Mesa, AZ. His adoption donation fee is $1100.00, you can apply on our website at freedomfrenchierescue.org

 Meet Metallica – The Fluffy Rockstar in Training! 

At 27 pounds of pure fluff and heart-melting expressions, Metallica is ready to find a family who understands that he’s still learning what it means to be a loved companion. This handsome boy joined the Freedom Frenchie Rescue squad in a large breeder release of 13 dogs. Just a week ago, he was too scared to leave his crate, stressed from the long drive, and unsure about the world outside.

Now? We open the crate door and he comes flying out, tail high, and trots straight to the yard to go potty! He’s only had one accident in his crate — and honestly, after all he’s been through, we’d call that a win.

Exploration personality:

Metallica is still figuring out life in a home, and he learns more each day by watching his foster siblings. He’s started to explore toys, enjoys delicate playtime with his buddy Mercy, and is realizing that treats (especially broth bones!) are the best thing ever. He’s a little picky with food, so his meals stay in his crate for him to enjoy at his own pace. A probiotic is helping him adjust to a healthier diet. Metallica like some of the others are trying to maintain regular bowel movements. It seems like some of them are just not having solid poos and it was very imperative that we kept all of them on the same food as prior and we have done that. We are going to wait a few more days before adjusting diet, considering anesthesia could be affecting this also

This boy’s expressive eyebrows and soulful eyes tell the story of a sweet, eager-to-learn pup who wants nothing more than to be part of a family. He’s already mastered bedtime — settling in around 9 p.m. and sleeping through the night like a pro.

Healthy medical:

Metallica was recently neutered and is recovering beautifully. He had his vaccines as well and received a great health check from our vet. His hike peeing is still happening but now he goes back and forth depending on how many males have hiked in the same spot. He’s still learning polite manners with female dogs (the breeder life taught him some habits we’re gently undoing), but he’s making great progress with consistent redirection and structure.

He’s been through a whirlwind: transport from the breeder, meeting new dogs, a vet visit, surgery, and a brand-new environment — yet he’s still curious, resilient, and full of potential.

Foster pupdate:

For only having this guy for a week he is resilient, he is now coming out of his crate on his own with excitement to go outside and enjoy the yard life. Metallica really loves to sit in the misters then into the sun then back to the misters, He’s a smart fella and picking up on a family life with consistency really quickly. 

If you have patience, experience, and a heart big enough for this fluffy caricature-come-to-life, Metallica will reward you with loyalty, laughter, and a front-row seat to his transformation into the dog he was always meant to be. Metallica’s ideal Match: Someone who understands that “rescue” means time, love, and teaching — not perfection on day one.

Metallica is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered his adoption donation fee is $1150.00. He is located in Mesa, AZ please apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org.

  Meet Our Teddy Bear With a Goofy Twist!

This three-year-old, 30-pound sweetheart joined the Freedom Squad along with 11 other dogs released from a breeder, and he has been showing us from day one that he’s brave, curious, and full of heart. While many of his buddies were nervous to step out of their crates, this guy was the first to bounce out, tail wagging, ready to see what freedom was all about. He’s got a zest for life, whether it’s starting his day with enthusiasm or winding down with some evening cuddles.

In the short time he’s been with us, he’s already handled a lot: transport from SoCal to AZ, neuter surgery, and moving into a foster home. Despite all those changes, he’s proving to be a lover at heart—sometimes timid, but always eager to learn and grow. He thrives on structure and consistency, so a home that can offer him a routine will help him shine.

Personality traits:

He loves playing with other dogs, but he’s also learning that he doesn’t need to be “the man in charge” anymore—life isn’t about competition now with the ladies, it’s about companionship. With the guidance of his foster family, he’s been mastering manners, soaking up praise, and discovering what it’s like to just be a beloved dog. His goofy side comes out in his yard adventures—sniffing every inch, marking his territory, and investigating a few butts along the way (because…Frenchie). He’s also shown that he’s respectful when introduced to other dogs, especially the more submissive ones, and he’s quick to accept redirection if he gets a little too bold. 

Health/medical:

Like most Frenchie’s, he does have a sensitive stomach, and we’re still working on dialing in his diet so his tummy stays happy. His foster mom is determined to get him balanced, and with a little time, we know he’ll be on track. He was neutered within days and had an overall check, and he is pretty healthy guy considering his background, once again our vet was kinda shocked. 

This 30-pound teddy bear is the perfect blend of cuddle bug and silly goose, and we know the right family will fall head over heels for him. He’s learning to trust, learning to play, and learning what it means to be a cherished family member—he’s ready for his forever.

Muse is vaccinated, neutered and microchipped his adoption donation fee is $1150.00. You can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org. This is all we know about him so far we will update when we learn more about him.

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

I'm coming back soon!! Had to take care of some medical stufffff.

  Boston – From Shy Soul to Rockstar Companion 

Boston is one of the 12 Frenchie’s from the breeder release and this guy is already stealing hearts. At 3 years old and weighing in at a solid 37 pounds, Boston is one of the bigger boys of the crew — all muscle on the outside, but a total softie on the inside.

Personality/Demeanor:

You’ll notice Boston’s ears are often pulled back, showing his timid and shy side. His love language is absolutely touch — he melts with belly rubs and gentle affection. Once he knows you and can let his guard down, his true personality shines through: fun, spunky, and loving.

Boston is still learning leash manners but doesn’t fully understand them yet. He cowers on the ground as if in his past he was only pulled around and shuffled in and out of crates. The positive news is that his crate, which once symbolized stress, has now become his safe space. Just two weeks ago he resisted going in and scared to go out, but now he goes in and out of it easily, showing how much progress, he’s making in trusting and adapting to family life. Also realizing that he is not going to be living in a crate anymore. 

When it comes to other dogs, Boston does best with females, but he’s also good with males as long as they are not dominant. He’s not looking for trouble, but he will stand his ground if challenged. The best part about Boston is that he is brand new to family life — which means he can finally be molded into love, not survival. He’s learning quickly that life is about companionship, not competition.

Medical & Care:

Medically, Boston is in great health and shows no signs of any underlying issues. After his neuter he did develop a small infection, but it’s being managed with antibiotics — the bruising is fading and the swelling is almost gone. Like the others from his group, he came in with diarrhea, but after a dewormer, a gradual food switch, and a daily probiotic, his stools are improving and becoming much more solid. Boston thrives with routine hygiene care: his coat brushed, ears cleaned, and his booty wiped to keep him fresh and comfortable.

Boston is more mellow than many of his groupmates, enjoying both laid-back cuddles and bursts of playful energy once he feels safe. This big-hearted boy is ready to find a family who will guide him gently and show him just how sweet life can be.

The more we learn about Boston we will be updating his profile. With rescues like Boston and the pack he came in with we just always state, “Do not have an expectation of them”. They are trying to learn what its like to be a fur family member and to be loved. They know absolutely nothing, so it is a bit easier to teach them with positivity. 

Boston is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, his adoption donation fee is $1100.00. You can apply for him at freedomfrenchierescue.org, he is located in Mesa, AZ.

*Please Note: All learning and guidance must continue in their new home. A dog’s behavior can change with a new environment and energy, and every family’s dynamic is different.

    Meet Duke – Our Sock Thief Monster! Its Not Your Dryer is Duke!

Duke is a 3-year-old 27lb Frenchie who came to us from our Hesperia Shelter with major ear masses.

Personality Quirks: 

And let’s be real—this boy is a total sock monster. Duke LOVES sneaking into the laundry, grabbing any sock he can find, and proudly prancing in circles to show it off. He’ll even check back in with you mid-strut, just to make sure you see how clever he is. We bought him toys (even took him shopping at HomeGoods!), but nothing compares to a good sock.

Beyond his goofy side, Duke is a humble, sweet, gentle soul. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and obedient. Open the crate door and he’ll go right in—sometimes he even chooses to nap there on his own. 

Medical:

Dukes ear masses were so bad they were constantly bleeding from scratching so much and puss was always coming from them leaving a foul smell. He bravely underwent TECA surgery (a bill we’re still paying off!), and thanks to that, he’s living pain-free and ready to start his next adventure. His canals are sewn shut but it is still really important to keep his ears clean. His hearing is limited after surgery, but if you talk loud, he listens. He’s healed wonderfully, with fur already growing back on his big, round “moo moo scrunchy face” head.

Meal/training:

Duke eats twice a day and LOVES mealtimes. He does need to be fed in his crate, as he will resource guard around other dogs while in crate. Duke does ok eating with others outside of it but there have been 2 incidents. His new family should continue feeding him separately until he feels safe and settled. He does well with other dogs—he doesn’t fight and actually enjoys their company—but he’s more of a laid-back loner. With fewer dogs in the home, we believe he’ll blossom into a loyal friend who might just rope his new dog buddy into planning sock heists. Beyond his goofy side, Duke is a humble, sweet, gentle soul. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and obedient. Open the crate door and he’ll go right in—sometimes he even chooses to nap there on his own. He does have his stubborn side when he knows you are leaving and does not want to go in, so we lift up his butt and he goes.

Foster Pupdate:

Duke enjoys walks, tug-of-war with his foster sister, following foster mom around the yard while cleaning up poop, and being the center of attention when it comes to people. For everything this boy has been through, Duke remains happy, gentle, and ready to love big. He waits his turn for love and will not fight anyone if they want to go first. Duke aims to please and his demeanor has definitely changed in the best way since his ear surgery. I have nothing bad to say about this guy he is just all around amazing in every way and is grateful for a fresh start! 

Duke is the full pied package: resilient, silly, affectionate, and absolutely unforgettable. He’s healed, thriving, and SO ready for his forever home. Will you be the one to give him the love (and socks) he deserves? His hair is still growing back on his head from surgery but he is just the sweetest gentle lover ever. 

His adoption donation fee is $1050.00 and he is located in Mesa, AZ. You can apply for Duke at freedomfrenchierescue.org.

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

     Meet Cosmo- He Will Orbit Into Your Heart

Cosmo is a four-year-old, 27lb, lilac merle, French Bulldog who came to the freedom squad from Yuma Animal Shelter after being found as a stray in pretty rough shape. His ear was on the verge of being unsalvageable, his skin was inflamed, and his eye needed a lot of care. But with the right medications, creams, and, of course, plenty of love, Cosmo has blossomed into the healthy, happy boy he was always meant to be. His fur is growing back, his weight is finally perfect, and his eye is looking so much better!

Personality fun:

This little guy is a total goofball with the sweetest heart. He loves to play with his foster sister Cali, race around with zoomies, and then proudly drag toys—and even dog beds—through the doggy door as if he’s helping with redecorating. After a good round of play, he melts right into his foster mom’s lap for cuddle time, though after about twenty minutes he’s ready to sprawl out on the floor like a starfish orbiting the universe. He’s also a bit of a runner, so doors have to be watched carefully, but he’s learning the “back” command and improving every day.

Manners/Training:

Cosmo has mastered potty training and uses the doggy door like a pro. Since having regular outdoor access, he hasn’t marked in the house at all. He also loves absolutely everyone he meets, especially children. His foster sitter’s two daughters clicked with him immediately, and he soaked up every bit of their attention. With other dogs, Cosmo does great too, particularly playful companions like Cali. Above all else, he adores his foster mom and thrives on human connection. 

Health:

While Cosmo is the life of the party, there are just two things he’d rather not do: have his ears cleaned or get eye drops. The trick is catching him—because he thinks that’s a game too! His ears and eyes have come such a long way already, and his skin has improved by about 85% thanks to his care plan. He eats from a slow feeder to keep his food down, and with a little continued maintenance, he’ll be in tip-top shape.

Family Life:

Cosmo is the perfect mix of comedian, cuddlebug, and loyal companion. Whether he’s zooming with friends, showing off his toy-collecting skills, or curling up for love, he’ll keep you smiling every single day. This boy has overcome so much and still greets life with joy and affection. If you’re looking for a dog who will bring laughter, love, and a little mischief into your home, Cosmo is ready to be your star.

Cosmo is available to adopt at freedomfrenchierescue.org his adoption donation fee is $1050.00. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, located in Avondale, AZ, and ready to watch the shooting stars with you!
