Good Bloggie!

Anyone who has a Frenchie often gets hit with two main statements when you are out-and-about with your short-legged friend: “What’s THAT?” (this happens less these days) and “I want one!” (much more common now).

If you have been putting off bringing home a snorty friend, this may just be your summer to do it. Thanks to the downturn in the economy (are we allowed to say recession yet?), rescues are overflowing with Frenchies, and not just any Frenchies, but young, under the age of one Frenchies.

Many times, people have their mind made up they want a fresh, brand-new puppy, which we can respect and understand. The puppyhood period is a lot of fun. It’s also a lot of work: potty training, basic training, new furniture becomes distressed furniture. Ah, the joys of puppyhood! What if you could get a nearly new Frenchie already “broken in” with limited mileage? Many people we know are just as, if not more so, crazy in love with Frenchies they brought home as an older dog or puppy. They just have fewer stains on their carpets, intact shoes, and more nights of full rest.

So if a French Bulldog is on your “Gotta Have” list, and you have the right kind of home and the right stuff for a Frenchie (or can make that happen) check out the rescues below and see who they have needing a home. Just remember, it’s not like going to Walgreens and picking up some milk and toothpaste. You do have to fill out an application and talk to some very nice people. They want to match their foster Frenchies with the best, correct, and permanent home. No one wants a Boomerang Frenchie. (except maybe some Agility people.) Don’t rule out those older Frenchies either. They may be card-carrying ARFP members (Actually Really Fun Pooches).

Aww, go on! Take a look. You know you want to. Do a little window (or Vista) shopping. Fill out that application. You’ll never worry again about spending a Friday or Saturday night alone…or going to the fridge or the bathroom by yourself… You’ll never again need protection from the doorbell, the vacuum, the broom…the dreaded empty paper towel roll. You know, you better get moving. Sounds like you really DO need a Frenchie in your life!
