Welcome to Freedom Frenchie Rescue Adoptables.

  .Hello, I’m Cookie 

I’m Cookie, a 5-year-old French Bulldog, and I’m currently with the good people at Freedom Frenchie Rescue. I didn’t arrive here by accident—I earned my way here through life experience. I came from the Arizona Humane Society, and before that… well, let’s just say I’ve seen some things.

I was found as a stray, my skin a mess from mange, one ear hurting, and my body carrying the signs of being bred far more than any lady should be. But we’re not here to dwell. I prefer forward motion and a calm environment, thank you very much.

The Glow-Up (Yes, It’s Real) 

Since coming into rescue, I’ve been doing the work. My skin has cleared beautifully thanks to a salmon-based diet, soothing baths, and daily probiotics. My ear has healed nicely and now has a little crinkle—adds character. If you ask me, one floppy ear builds intrigue.

I weigh about 23 pounds. I may look a little more seasoned than I once was, but don’t mistake that for weakness. My heart is soft, my spirit is steady, and I still enjoy the simple pleasures—mealtime, sunbathing, and being exactly where my human is.

My Personality (Let’s Be Clear) 

I am not dramatic. I am observant. I am needy at times, I am present. I have been in rescue since 7/5/2025!! Why I have no idea. I know I am not your OOOO lala typical looking “society” Frenchie but I am me!

If you’re outside, I’ll be outside. If you’re inside, I’ll be right near you—quietly supervising. Sometimes at your feet. Sometimes on the armrest. Always aware. I’m what you’d call a shadow, but a polite one.

I’m very chill and I absorb your energy. If you’re calm, I’m calm. If you’re busy, I’ll settle nearby and mind my business. I enjoy toys, but I do require durable options, as I will dismantle anything flimsy. Bully sticks? Yes. Those are excellent.

I enjoy walks, appreciate a good routine, and generally keep my opinions to myself. I don’t bark unless I hear unfamiliar voices around the house—because someone has to keep order.

House Rules & Social Preferences 

I do well with dogs my size or slightly larger, and I truly enjoy my foster siblings. That said, I am confident and I know what I like. I would do best as an only dog or with a submissive male dog who understands that I prefer to be consulted. Cats are not an option.
I’ve tried. It’s a no. I love my humans deeply and I can be protective of that bond. I’m not being difficult—I’m being devoted. With structure, patience, and understanding, I thrive.

Training & Real Life 

I’m potty trained, and if you’re at work, just leave me a pee pad—I’ll handle it like a responsible adult. I appreciate consistency and do best when the 3-3-3 Rule is followed: time to decompress, time to learn the routine, and time to truly settle.

I’ve transitioned successfully through two foster homes using this approach, and I’ve proven that when I’m given space and respect, I rise beautifully to the occasion.

From One Grown Woman to Another 

I’ve had a rough life. I don’t need chaos. I don’t need to prove anything. I just want a safe place, a steady routine, and someone who understands that loyalty like mine is earned—and once it’s yours, it’s unwavering.

I am sweet, devoted, and quietly affectionate. I will love you deeply, keep you grounded, and remind you to slow down. If you’re looking for a calm, soulful companion who will gently put you in your place while loving you unconditionally…

I’m right here.

Love,
Cookie 

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

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

Let’s show her that forever love is real.

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

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

Clear the air:

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

Health:

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

I’m a vibe:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My Story

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

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

My Personality

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

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

I don’t need saving. I need leading.

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

My Ideal Home

I’m searching for a home with:

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

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

My Habits & Hobbies

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

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

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

My Healing

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

My Heart

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

About Me (The Good Stuff)

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

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

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

Social Life

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

Work in Progress

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

My Skin & Health

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

What I’m Looking For

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

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

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

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

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

My Story (told by me, obviously)

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

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

My Heart & Personality

I am a total sweetheart.

Dogs? Love them.

People? Love them more.

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

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

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

My Medical Notes (the honest part)

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

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

The Important Stuff

• I love snacks.

• I love treats.

• I love food.

• Did I mention snacks?

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

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

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

My Final Pitch

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

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

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

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

Love Joplin and a glass of Jack.

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

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

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

My “Glow-Up” Story

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

The Lilie Soundtrack (aka My Trachea Quirk)

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

I had a Trachea wash on 1/08 and there are 4 kinds of bacteria in me. Yes and I am susceptible to that happening often. I am currently on stronger antibiotic but this may be something I will always live with. I cannot stay in foster forever. Getting me checked every few months is most likely going to be a thing in my life. My rescue is trying to get me 100% but were informed that I can be adopted but my family is going to have to be understanding I am a bubble kind of girl

Food Plan That Keeps Me Strong

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

My Humidifier Habit

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

Ball Is Life

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

My Perfect Home

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

Ready to meet me?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Speaking of snacks…

First in line for breakfast

First in line for dinner

Hovering nearby in case anyone leaves leftovers

Efficiency matters.

Home Life & Daily Routine

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

My favorite pastime?

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

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

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

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

A Note on Being a “Senior”

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

My Forever Wish

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

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

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

I’m ready for forever.

  Meet Me, Yes I said it ME… Gertie!

I’m 4 years old, a French Bulldog, and I’m currently hanging out with the amazing humans at Freedom Frenchie Rescue. I came from Riverside County Animal Shelter, where I was placed on the euthanasia list because of something called IVDD. A lot of people passed on me. A lot of pleas went unanswered. But then Mo listened to her gut (she’s good at that) and said, “Fuck it. Let’s pull her.” And just like that… my life changed (literally I was at the beach with this her and Tyke (Mo’s sidekick) that day!

Mo believes in bodies like mine. She’s seen what chiropractic care, support, and early intervention can do—and she believed that if someone helped me now, before things progressed, I could have a really good life. She was right.

My Body, My Power 

Yes, I have a mild case of IVDD. Sometimes my legs forget the plan and my neck gets stiff. Ill lean to the side like I’m from LB or something but I have no idea where I am from I just heard the humans chatting it up ( I can’t mind my business to often).
But let me be very clear—I run, play, zoom, and live my life on all fours just like any other Frenchie. Louder for people in the back ON ALL FOURS!

I’m not incontinent (actually potty trained). I’m learning my body. I’m getting stronger every day. And honestly? I surprise everyone (including myself) with how resilient I am. With continued care and support, my people expect me to stay comfortable, active, and happy—and I fully intend to prove them right. 

I start my chiropractic appointments next week and they will need to be continued. Don’t freak out it’s not that pricey ( its like going to the human chiro). If you want me in your life for a long time, then you can do this!

My Personality: Spunky, Independent & Just a Little Bossy 

If confidence had a face, it might look like mine. Nothing slows me down. I’m independent… but also needy. Confident… but I really want to belong (some might be a little fake, what do you expect I’m a Frenchie). I like doing my own thing, but I always know where my people are. I’ll check in just to remind you I still exist—even while I’m playing. Multitasking is kind of my thing. I do love my friends when I met Tyke I followed her around for awhile. I wasn’t sure if I fit in but that goof ball went right on her back and I knew I was her friend immediately!

I also have classic Frenchie commentary. Think sorority girl who absolutely needs to be heard. If I can’t see you, I will remind you—loudly—that I am still here and available for attention.

Brains, Training & Snuggles 

I’m smart and I know it and I’m also a smartass. Lol I’m doing great in my new foster home with house training and I already understand sit, stay, and down like a professional. I take treats gently (because manners matter), and my cuddle skills? Let’s just say I already have my bachelor’s degree and I’m actively working on my master’s. I can also open gates. So don’t underestimate me. I go where I want, when I want—with grace, confidence, and just the right amount of mischief.

Friends, Dogs & My Social Circle 

When I arrived at my new foster home, things were done right. I was given time, space, and rest after being spayed, and my IVDD was respected. The 3-3-3 Rule was followed, and it made all the difference. That is a must with every rescue in sace you were not aware of that one!

I can be a little dominant at first—I like to know where I stand—but once another dog shows me they’re cool, I soften fast. Then it’s all play, chase, and friendship… with a gentle reminder that I might still be the boss. Peanut butter jelly time baby lettsss go!

So far, I’ve done amazing with other dogs, and I just keep shining.

From My Heart 

I’ve been through a lot. And I know it. I wish I could tell these humans so much but our communication lacks in that area.

I’m grateful. I’m affectionate. I’m funny. I’m resilient. I’m full of life. You know he sunny rays on the AZ flag that’s me! I’m the kind of dog who reminds you why rescue matters.

Not many people chose me.
But the right people did temporarily this time and I’m excited for my future!

And now… I’m ready to choose my forever.

Love,

    Hi. I’m Kula _ The Purest of Sunshine. 

I’m 4 years old, I weigh about 32 pounds, and yes — I know — I’m a big girl. But I’m a HAPPY big girl, and honestly? That’s my entire personality. If happiness were a sport, I’d be the fucking cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys — full volume, full commitment, zero shame.

I don’t walk into a room.

I burst into it!

My Vibe 

I love every single dog I meet. Big dogs. Little dogs. Dogs with weird energy. Dogs with no energy. I love them all. I don’t have an aggressive bone in my body, I don’t resource guard, and if another dog comes at me sideways, I just… go the other way. Why ruin a good day?

My happiness is explosive. It leaks out of my eyes. It’s constant. I’m the sunshine that never turns to night — the kind that wakes everyone up and says, “HEY! LIFE IS HAPPENING!”

I play hard — bulldog-style, and take super long naps! Well Mo works me a bit to (you know the weight thing) It can look intense if you don’t know me, but it’s not aggression. It’s joy. It’s full-body excitement. I need a home that understands that big energy isn’t bad energy — it’s just me being me.

A Little About My Past 

I was found as a stray in a field (it’s always a field) and pulled from a Southern California shelter, so my backstory is a bit of a mystery. Sometimes when you go to pet me, I might crouch for a second — like I’m not totally sure what’s coming — so maybe my past wasn’t always kind.

But here’s the thing:

I didn’t let that steal my joy.

My Daily Life 

I’m potty trained and I take treats very gently (don’t let the chaos fool you — I have manners). I love food, but when I first came into rescue it took me a minute to adjust to a schedule. Now? I’m dialed in. I do okay in the car and I’m getting better with consistency — it’s something I’ll grow into with time and routine. I also love going for walks, but I’m a bulldog, so I like to take breaks in between. Let me catch my breath, admire the scenery, soak up compliments… then we keep going.

Health & Care 

I had kennel cough when I first arrived, but I healed up beautifully. The vet says I’m super healthy overall. I have some mild skin stuff that’s easily managed with baths, and my ears needed some TLC when I got here — but with antibiotics and regular cleaning, they’re doing great.

Also… I LOVE when you clean my face and wrinkles. When you’re done, I parade around like I just left a spa. Confidence matters.

Oh — and about my weight: I’ve already lost about 5 pounds in rescue, and I could safely lose a couple more. My future family will need to keep an eye on that so I can stay feeling my best and keep up with my cheerleader lifestyle.

What I’m Looking For 

I need a home with big energy, big love, and big joy. A family that laughs at zoomies, understands bulldog play, and wants a dog who wakes up every day ready to celebrate life like it’s game day.

I am the sunshine that hits your face in the morning and refuses to leave. I am joy with four legs. I am Kula — and I’m ready to bring the hype to my forever home. You don’t need a rose quartz crystal to carry around when you have me in your life!

Love,

Kula

   Hi, I’m Cutie - Yes… that’s really my name—and trust me, it fits.

How I Got My Name

So here’s the deal: I was found at the QT, and the rescue posted me everywhere hoping someone would come forward and say, “That’s my dog.” They waited two full months to see if anyone had lost me… but no one ever did. Honestly? It’s probably for the best—because whatever my life was before this was fucking terrible. Being overlooked turned out to be the thing that saved me. From there, I landed at FFR, started my glow-up, and officially became Cutie—because after everything I’ve been through, softness finally found me.

The Real Me

I’m 3 years old and 23 lbs of pure snuggle energy. When I first came into rescue, I was terrified. I would crouch down when people approached, unsure if love was coming or not. Fast-forward a couple months and now? I jump up when I see you—because I KNOW affection is waiting on the other side. Love changed everything for me.

Cuddle Queen Status

Let’s get one thing straight: I am a professional couch potato with a PhD in snuggling. I’m potty trained, crate trained (though I will 100% choose your bed if given the option), and I firmly believe blankets and pillows are non-negotiable life essentials. I roll over instantly for belly rubs, never say no to a treat, and I take my cuddle responsibilities very seriously.

Playtime & Friends

I love toys—especially Nylabones—and I adore playing with my foster sibling Violet, who is just a teeny tiny baby. I’m gentle, playful, and sweet with other dogs. Basically, I’m the fun aunt who also wants to nap immediately after.

My Health & Care

I came in with a serious ear infection, but good news—it’s cleared up! That said, my ears will need to be cleaned twice a week, no skipping allowed. It’s an absolute must for me to stay comfortable and healthy.

I also struggle with yeast and allergies, but don’t worry—we’ve got them under control now. I’m on allergy meds and a prescription diet, and WOW has it made a difference. I’m feeling better every day.

Oh—and yes, I have crate feet (I go full gremlin paws in the crate, not my fault I lived in one…), but those will improve with time and confidence.

Foster Life Commentary

I love my foster dad, beg him for food regularly, and attempt to manage my foster mom’s job… though I usually fall asleep before I can clock in. Turns out, supervising humans is exhausting.

My Perfect Home

I never knew what “spoiled” meant before rescue—but now I do, and I’m ready to keep living that life. I’m looking for a family who understands routines, keeps up with my ear care and diet, and wants a loyal, affectionate, slightly bossy cuddle companion.

If you’re searching for a dog who will make your house feel like home, warm your heart, and steal your blankets—

I’m your girl. 

Forever & Always

The Ultimate Adventure Buddy & Cuddle Companion! 

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

Personality Perks: This handsome boy has a playful, gentle nature and enjoys romping around with his foster sibling. When Boba gets excited, he hops like a bunny off his back legs, it is to cute! He generally gets along well with females and some males, but if challenged, he will stand his ground and it is not pretty. Disagreements are rare and typically revolve around food, attention, or toys, so structured mealtimes and supervision will help set him up for success. With time, patience, and guidance, Boba continues to show excellent progress in his interactions. His ultimate perk is chasing lizards, he will watch the wall and scan every section thinking he will get a lizard! Boba is full time entertainment

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

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

Medical Endeavors: Boba has been through quite the medical issues dealing with his prolapse. He has had two purse string surgeries that were not successful. Our next step was Colpopexy surgery, it was successful but only for a few weeks and his rectum came out again. With his original prolapse his rectum was 8.5in (that is unheard of). We have been to the vet several times and have had several discussions with our primary and our specialist. Boba's issue is that he is straining he is straining every time he goes to the bathroom. We have tried calming meds but it does not help and they make him aggressive. We are trying one last medication to see if that helps him stop straining. While he is going #2 we are distracting him from straining but it is not always working. We just did a gut biome test on him and everything came back great!!! 

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

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

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

  Meet Philly – The Quiet Soul with a Gentle Spirit

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

Personality:

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

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

Training:

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

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

Medical champ:

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

Foster pupdate:

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

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

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

  WIDE LOAD ALERT: I’m Doohmer

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

About Me & Darla

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

My Medical Glow-Up

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

Potty Training? Nailed It.

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

My Personality (Slow But Powerful)

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

Important Kid Disclaimer

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

Foster Mom Pupdate

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

Why You’ll Love Me

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

Adopt me. Bring snacks. Lower expectations for speed. 

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

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

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

 The Honest Stuff 

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

 My Manners & Training 

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

My Daily Routine 

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

A Note From My Foster

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

My Next Chapter

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

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

 Love, Soft Hearted Benny

    Food, snacks, love, trash cans...oh hey I'm Bronson! 

I’m Bronson, a 5-year-old Exotic Bully, clocking in at a solid 55 pounds of muscle, charm, and questionable decision-making. I currently reside with Freedom Frenchie Rescue, where I’ve been informed that I am “a lot,” but in a good way.

I came here as a rescue plea from San Bernardino Animal Shelter after animal control found me “aggressively fighting a garbage can.” Now listen—was I aggressive? Or was I hungry and defending my right to snacks? History will decide. What I do know is that I was misunderstood, underfed, and ready for a comeback tour.

The Redemption Arc 

Since landing in rescue, I’ve been finding my groove. As the world turns, I’ve been becoming more me every day—more relaxed, more confident, and way more comfortable knowing I’m safe. Turns out when you’re not fighting garbage cans for survival, life gets pretty sweet. But I do go for the occasional mop and bucket, sometimes I just have to fuck shit up and laugh! I am a dog and y’all are humans you have bad days to! But hey no one ever gets hurt and I do not go after people and dogs.

I love my little Frenchie foster brother and I’m learning the ropes with my other foster siblings. The only thing I’m still side-eyeing is height ( they are super trained rotties) Tall dogs make me nervous. HOWEVER, I have learned that tall dogs are extremely useful when toys get stuck or treats are just out of reach. So we coexist peacefully. Mostly. I can eat next to them and everything is fine and sometimes I do think about curling up next his lady but I don’t think cheating is her thing.

The House Rules (and How I Feel About Them) 

Cats? Hard no…haha I tried so hard to get under that couch and it was not happening. I cat wasn’t even under there anymore and I was looking forever! Man they are quick!

I’m not good at hide-and-seek, the cat always wins, and frankly, it hurts my confidence. Chickens? Allegedly we have chickens, but I’ve never noticed them and would like that statement to stand.

I do best in a home without cats, but I’m cool with dogs when introductions are done right. Let me repeat myself INTRODUCTIONS ARE DONE RIGHT, 333 please! I’m a respectful dude once everyone understands the hierarchy (spoiler: I think it’s me, but I’m flexible).

My People 

I secretly love preteens and older kids ( not I’m not a weirdo we are just on the same brain waves) They’re fun, they understand my energy, and they don’t judge me for being a little extra. I’m a champion cuddler and a huge fan of snuggling in bed watching classic TV with my friend Gabby (teenager). If there’s a couch, a blanket, and a human nearby, I will find them.

At night, I sleep in my own bed next to my foster mom. She tucks me in every night, which I graciously accept. I won’t tell her that I prefer to fluff my own bed like an adult. Some traditions are sacred. The blanket on me is the icing on the cake!

Social Life & Celebrity Status 

I LOVE going out. I love meeting new people. I love taking pictures. I love attention. I am basically the guy at the party who knows everyone and somehow ends up in all the photos.

Want a dog who’s down for anything?
Going out? I’m in.
Staying home? I’m in.
Sharing food? I was born ready.

I am a social butterfly, a cuddle extraordinaire, and honestly? A great date.

Health Check: Strong Like Bull

When I first arrived, I had a urinary infection that caused blood to come out in a scary amount. No not in my urine it was after I urinated. Not my finest moment. The rescue got me on antibiotics, got me neutered, and—like the pros they are—called it: neutering fixed an underlying prostate issue. Everything cleared up quickly, and now I’m feeling fantastic. Healthy. Comfortable. Thriving, and peeing like an Olympian. Gold medal please!

The Bottom Line 

I’m full of love, chaos, loyalty, and heart. I’m the kind of dog who will be your ride-or-die, your couch buddy, your wingman, and your emotional support hype man. I’m an exotic low riding bully do your research!

I may have started this chapter throwing hands with a garbage can (reminder: food), but I’m ready to end it exactly where I belong—with people who get me.

Love,
Bronson 

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

    Hi! I’m Cam — yes, that Cam.

I’m about a year old, around 30 pounds, and very much still living my teenage bulldog life. That means big personality, big feelings, and a whole lot of enthusiasm packed into a compact body. If you sit down, there’s a strong chance I’ll try to sit on you too — personal space is more of a suggestion in my world.

I’m affectionate, expressive, and deeply human-oriented. I don’t just like my people — I want to be with them, on them, and involved in whatever they’re doing.

Human-Focused & Full of Love

I absolutely adore people and thrive on attention, cuddles, and connection. I’m the kind of dog who follows you from room to room and checks in often. If you’re looking for a loyal, Velcro-style companion who makes sure you’re never alone, I’m your guy.

Dog Relationships & Social Needs (Important Update)

While I love dogs, I’ve learned that I do best with one or two dogs who match my energy and confidence level. I can be dominant at times and need clear, structured introductions and ongoing management.

I currently live with my foster sibling Louie, whom I love and respect. Louie is smaller than me, but confident, and I happily submit to him. That balance works well for me. I need dog companions who can appropriately communicate and hold their own if needed.

I can become overstimulated in busy dog environments, especially events with multiple dogs. Continued, intentional socialization is important for me — but it needs to be done thoughtfully and at my pace.

Structure, Training & the 3-3-3 Rule

I have done exceptionally well in my foster home because they are very fluent in the 3-3-3 rule and provide consistent structure, routine, and expectations every day. This is a big reason for my success.

We strongly recommend training for me — not because I’m “bad,” but because dogs behave differently in different homes. What’s allowed in one environment may not be in another, and consistency helps me feel secure and confident.

During a short stay with a rescue pet sitter while my foster family was out of town, I went after another dog due to an incorrect introduction and lack of familiarity. This reinforced what we already know: I need proper introductions, structure, and leadership to succeed.

Leash Behavior

I do show signs of leash reactivity toward other dogs. However, when off leash and properly introduced, I generally do much better. This is another area where training and confident handling will make a big difference.

Ears & Ongoing Care (Please Read)

My ear surgery went very well, and I’m feeling good. That said, there is a possibility I may need another ear surgery in the future — there’s no way to predict if or when that might be.

To keep my ears healthy, my home must be committed to:

• Cleaning my ears 2–3 times per week
• Keeping a bottle of Posatex on hand at all times

This routine is important for my long-term comfort and health.

The Right Home for Cam

I will do best in a home that:

• Understands the 3-3-3 rule
• Provides daily structure and routine
• Has one or two well-matched dogs, or is open to being my only dog
• Is committed to training and proper introductions
• Is comfortable managing a confident, energetic bulldog with big feelings

Is Cam Your Match?

I’m not a plug-and-play dog — but for the right home, I am incredibly rewarding. I’m affectionate, funny, loyal, and full of life. With structure, leadership, and understanding, I thrive and form deep bonds with my people.

If you’re looking for a bulldog who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and love you with his whole heart — and you’re ready to meet me where I am — I just might be your perfect match.

Cam is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, you can apply for him on freedomfrenchierescue.org. He is located in Tempe, AZ and his adoption donation fee is $1100.00. His profile will be updated as we learn more and after surgery.

    Hi. I’m Chomps. Yes… that Chomps.

I’m the complete small-bulldog package — five years old, currently weighing in at 38 pounds and proudly gaining (as I should). I came to Freedom Frenchie Rescue from an animal shelter in Los Angeles, and getting me to Arizona was quite the adventure. A transporter stepped up to adopt me on the rescue’s behalf while picking up other dogs, and despite some unnecessary shelter drama that doesn’t matter anymore, I made it safely and comfortably to Arizona. That’s the only part that counts.

Ball Is Life (and I Mean That Literally)

Let’s be clear about something important right away — ball is life for me. I am deeply obsessed. My favorite ball is a rubber one with grooves, and Mo has made sure I’m very well stocked. I love sunbathing more than just about anything, especially when I can lounge with two balls tucked under my neck and my chin resting peacefully on one like I’m living my best luxury bulldog life.

Because I love my ball so much, I can sometimes resource guard it if someone gets too close. Most dogs understand my warning, but a few don’t, which can lead to mishaps. The rescue is actively working with me on this, and I’m responding very well. When redirected, I stop growling quickly, but consistency is important. I’m learning that there are plenty of toys, no one is taking anything from me, and playing with other dogs can actually be even more fun. With time, trust, and follow-through, I continue to improve every day.

My “That Escalated Quickly” Medical Chapter

When I arrived at the rescue, I had a large mass above my tail, so surgery was scheduled to remove it and to neuter me at the same time. Everything seemed to go smoothly, and once surgery was finished, a volunteer picked me up to bring me back to Mo’s house. Then, completely out of nowhere, I started bleeding everywhere — it looked like a full-on murder scene in the car. Luckily, the volunteer was only about two miles away, turned around immediately, rushed me back to the vet, and carried me straight inside.

The vet staff jumped into action, and thankfully, the people waiting for their appointments were incredibly understanding. It turned out I hadn’t been bleeding during surgery or immediately afterward, but a blood vessel hadn’t been fully cauterized. I went into emergency surgery, had additional stitches and staples placed, and came through like a champ. I have since healed beautifully and am once again very active and very much myself.

Food, Trust, and My Inner Vacuum Cleaner

I absolutely love food, but I eat so fast that I have to use a slow feeder to prevent choking. It’s frustrating for me at times, but it keeps me safe. Everyone at the rescue is fed in their crate for safety, and I will resource guard my food in my crate if another dog hovers nearby. This is something we continue to work on as I build trust and confidence. I’m learning that food always comes, toys are always available, and love is guaranteed.

My current diet consists of Zignature Fish probiotic kibble mixed with Tucker’s raw salmon. I eat a cup and a half in the morning and a cup and a half in the afternoon, with several snacks in between. I take treats extremely gently from your hand, and I have a signature side-eye stare that I use while waiting for you to “accidentally” drop food — even when you’re not actually holding any.

Potty Training & Life Lessons

Potty training is still a work in progress. I used to pee on my crate mat consistently, so the rescue removed it altogether. Yes, it’s unfair. Yes, it’s tough love. But it works. Since removing the mat, I haven’t had any accidents in my crate, and we’re continuing to reinforce good habits every day.

Teeth? Never Heard of Her.

Let’s talk about my teeth — or lack thereof. I don’t have many, especially on the bottom. I’ve got my canine, although even that one isn’t fully intact. Despite this, I do just fine and have no trouble eating or enjoying treats. As you can tell from my photos, my smile is more gums than teeth, and it only adds to my charm.

Spa Life, Snorts & Bulldoggery

I don’t mind baths at all. I’ll just sit there and soak it in like a polite little bulldog gentleman. My first bath required four full washes because I was extremely dirty, but who’s counting? My nose stays crusty no matter how much it’s cleaned or moisturized with cocoa butter, but that’s Arizona desert life for you.

I’m very vocal, but not in a barking or whining way. I communicate through snorts, snuffles, and bulldog chatter. If you could speak snort, we’d have full conversations. My farts are loud, frequent, and unapologetic, and my naps are long and luxurious.

About BOAS Surgery

Yes, I could benefit from BOAS surgery, but it is not medically necessary at this time. It does not currently affect my quality of life, and given my previous difficulty healing, the rescue and vet have decided not to take that risk. I live in Arizona, my outdoor time is carefully managed, and I am never allowed to play in the heat. Now that I’m fully healed, the focus is on letting me enjoy life safely as I am.

My Ideal Home

I’m looking for a home that understands bulldogs and is willing to provide structure, consistency, and continued guidance with toys and feeding routines. I need someone who appreciates snorts, naps, noisy farts, and a dog with a big personality packed into a compact body. In return, I offer endless laughs, loyal companionship, gentle treat-taking, and sun-drenched naps by your side.

About Friends, Cuddles & Learning How to Be Home

If you’re hoping I’ll instantly be best friends with your dog or jump right into cuddle mode, that can absolutely happen — but it will take time. I’m still learning about life and what it means to live in a real home. Everything is new to me: the routines, the people, the expectations, and the love. Please don’t come into adoption with super high expectations of me right away.

And honestly, don’t have unrealistic expectations of any rescue dog coming into your home. We don’t know you yet. We don’t know your dogs. Trust has to be built, not forced. I need time to understand what kind of love you’re offering and to feel safe enough to accept it fully. When that happens — and it will — the friendships, cuddles, and connection grow naturally and mean so much more.

Final Words from Me

I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve come out stronger, happier, and ready for my forever home. If you’ve got room in your heart — and maybe space on your Amazon list for grooved rubber balls — I might just be your guy.

Love,

Chomps

     I’m Vinnie – CEO of Vacuum Hater Club

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

My Daily Vibe

I’m a very good boy. I haven’t had a single accident since coming into foster care. I sleep through the night, go to bed without issue, and handle routine like a pro. I’m not big on playing or causing chaos. I get along well with other dogs and mostly mind my own business. I love hopping up on the couch and going straight to sleep—it’s kind of my thing.

I absolutely love being outside. When the weather’s nice and the back door is open, I’ll spend most of my day out there doing my thing. Sometimes I lay in the sun, sometimes I just hang out and exist. My foster has to check on me because I’m so content out there. If the door isn’t open, I’ll sit patiently by it until you let me out. No fuss, no drama—just waiting.

Food, Treats & the Good Stuff

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

A Few Things You Should Know About Me

I get very excited when loud electronic things turn on—vacuums, blow dryers, even the Insta Pot. I take those noises personally. I’ve gone after another dog a couple of times when those sounds were happening, but I do correct pretty well. My foster keeps us separated during noisy moments now, and that works great. I will bark while the noise is happening, but once it’s over, I settle back down.

I’m still figuring out men. There’s one guy—Damien—who I haven’t trusted yet. I charged him once when he surprised me in the backyard, and again later when he tried to pet me. I let him at first and then changed my mind. I’ve been friendly with most other people, so this seems situational, but it tells you I need slow introductions, space, and time to decide someone is safe. Once I trust you, I’m solid.

My Rescue Story

I was saved from an LA shelter where I was sitting on the euthanasia list with no interest and no time left. Freedom Frenchie Rescue wanted me, but being in Arizona and not partnered with that shelter made things complicated. Time was running out fast. Then a family stepped up and adopted me just to save my life. I was super skinny and severely malnourished when they got me, and because of their care, commitment, and love, I’ve gained about 7–8 pounds and finally look and feel like myself again. They made sure I was medically cared for, safe, and loved—even knowing they weren’t meant to be my forever.

Later, a friend of the rescue asked if Freedom Frenchie could take me in, and now here I am. Mo met in San Diego to get me and I had a backpack full of separated meals, toys, treats, medications, and my favorite blanket. That kind of love sticks with a dog. It also stuck with Mo she said “there are good people, cut from the same cloth Vinnie” Funny how life works—rescue tried to get me in at the end of October and couldn’t, and now I’m here, safe, steady, and hanging out with a bully-experienced foster. I want it said clearly: I’m alive because someone chose me when no one else did. 

The Home I’m Looking For

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

Final Word from Me

I’m not a puppy. I’m not a clown. I’m a solid, loyal, low-key guy who’s still learning what real safety feels like. Don’t rush me. Don’t expect perfection. If you give me patience, respect my boundaries, and let me grow into myself, I’ll meet you there—steady and loyal the whole way.

PS If that sounds like your kind of dog,

I might just be your guy. 

Best,

Vinnie

      I Am Odin. The XL Loverboy.

Hey. I’m Odin. Yes… that Odin. The big one. The 35-pound XL Frenchie with the block head and the marshmallow heart. I’m two years old and I came from San Bernardino Animal Shelter. Not sure how I ended up there, but I do know this — Freedom Frenchie Rescue said, “Yep, he’s ours,” and now I’m living my best life while I wait for my forever people.

No Aggression. Just Vibes.

Let’s get something straight right away: I do not have a single aggressive piece of fur on my body. Not one. I love my dog friends. I adore my foster sister. I’m social, playful, and honestly just happy to be included. And yes… since I got neutered, the whole “overly enthusiastic humping” phase? Retired. We’ve moved on. Growth. Maturity. I’m out here being a respectful gentleman.

Big Dog Energy, Soft Boy Soul

I’m a solid 35 pounds of love and loaf. Super laid back. Professional lounger level. I love laying in the sun outside, soaking it up like it’s my full-time job. I love chasing a ball (bringing it back? that’s optional — I prefer you admire my athleticism). Car rides? Obsessed. I stare out the window like I’m in a music video thinking about my past and my bright future. If you have a big bay window with a bench, congratulations… you just became my favorite person in my favorite place.

House Manners & Daily Routine

I sleep through the night like a champ and haven’t had a single accident since I’ve been here. No belly band either — we’re living boldly (knock on wood). I don’t really “tell” you when I need to go out; my foster just takes me after I wake up and after I eat, and that routine works perfectly for me. I know my name, I run over as soon as I see the leash, and I stand politely while you put it on. I go in my crate without drama — I just prefer to be compensated with a treat. I don’t yell, cry, or bark much. I’m pretty easy, especially now that my hormones are minding their business.

Hydration King (Rescue Edition)

I could drink water all day. Like… all day. Being a rescue sometimes means you’re not always sure when the next meal or full bowl is coming, so some of us overdo it at first. I just like knowing it’s there. In time, I’ll understand that my bowl will always be full and I can relax into that security. For now, I hydrate like a champion.

Allergy Note (Nothing Dramatic)

I’ve got some mild allergy stuff going on — nothing wild. Just need a healthy diet and weekly baths right now until everything settles. I lick my paws a bit, but spa days are part of my glow-up anyway. I can’t get a bath until I’m cleared post-surgery, but after that it’s self-care season.

The Important Stuff

I love cheese with my entire soul. I like stealing Cardi’s toy and laying on it like I won something. I’m big, gentle, affectionate, and just happy to be part of a home. I don’t have a mean bone in my body — just a big block head full of love.

PS 35 pounds of XL Frenchie goodness. Zero aggression. Maximum heart.

Apply for me. I’m ready for my forever.
