We have some very sad news to share and ask for your prayers.

Foster boy Dexter had a massive seizure and passed away. Dexter has never had a seizure before or showed signs of anything medically wrong with him. The family got him into a vet asap but he was already gone. Please hold your hands and hearts out to his foster parents as they mourn their little charge and please hug your own dogs just a little bit harder today…

God bless you Dexter. Fly high over the rainbow bridge.

Foster mom said, “Larry had multiple seizures yesterday. We rushed him in for treatment but he continued to seize even after multiple injections. He also developed aspiration pneumonia from vomiting between the seizures. I know we tried our best but ultimately the best thing to do was to put him down. I’m so glad to haven gotten to spend the last few months with him. Other than a few potty training issues, he was the perfect dog for our crew and one of James’ best friends. I can’t help but feel like we failed you Lar-Bear but I know now you are off sun bathing to your heart’s content, finding your own slice of heaven to make your own. “

Fly high Lar-Bear…the Village will miss you.

“Ellie passed away at home on June 19, 2017. We were and are devastated by her loss. We wanted so much more for our little princess—we wanted to share the world with her, and to share her with the world. Ellie was so many things: happy, playful, insistent, funny, mischievous, clever, stubborn, indulgent, but mostly she was love incarnate. All Ellie ever really wanted was to be loved and to love. She gave us unconditional love and endless joy, and we only hope that we made her as happy as she made us, and that she knew how absolutely we adored her.

Ellie’s home with us was in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, but we took her all over the state: to the Coast to visit Grandma V, to Portland to visit Grandma K and to go on Ikea runs; to the Columbia Basin desert to visit great-Grandma M; to the High Desert to visit Aunt M; and all the way down to the California border on a few trips with Daddy for work. We had dreams of taking her so many more places with us. After her passing, we took her on one last trip over the Cascades to Aunt M’s, where we had her cremated and planned to scatter her ashes at the Deschutes River. But then, we didn’t really want that to be her last trip, so we spread a little of her ashes there and brought the rest back home. We plan to take her with us wherever we go, leaving a little of her behind so that she can see the world, and so that the world can know her.

To Ellie’s wonderful foster mom: thank you for giving her such incredible love through such difficult circumstances, and for always believing in her.

To the Village, and everyone who supported and followed Ellie through her journey: thank you for giving her the best chance any little baby in her position could have had, and please know that she loved all of you.

To Ellie: We feel your absence constantly, but we try to fill the empty spaces with your memories—not nearly enough, but each one precious, beautiful, treasured. How you loved sweet potatoes and pumpkin. The way you bounced and hopped with excitement when Daddy got home from work. How you licked the water off our legs when we got out of the shower. Playing tug-of-war and keep-away. Teaching you to sit, lay down, shake, and high-five. How you gave everyone, even strangers, lots of kisses. How your favorite songs for Mommy to sing you to sleep with were “Everlasting Love,” “Walking in Memphis,” and “To Make You Feel My Love”. How you would snuggle with Daddy on the couch and watch musical cartoons. The way people lit up when they saw you. How you always had to sit in our lap in the car. We are trying to honor your memory by working each day to see the world the way you saw it—as a new and exciting adventure to be anticipated and eagerly pursued, not feared—and most of all we are trying to be as good as you thought we were, to be the kind of people who were worthy of the unwavering love and trust that you gave us. Mommy and Daddy love you, princess.

Hi everyone! My name is Jack. I was surrendered to French Bulldog Village due to allergies and because I wasn’t the right fit for my previous family.

My foster mom took me to see the vet and the nice vet lady said that I am very cute (but, of course). She also said that I am pretty healthy for a 4 year old. My only health issue is severe allergies (I know I’m not the only Frog with allergies!), but they are being well-controlled with a hunk of cheese every day. My foster mom says there is a pill (Apoquel) in the cheese I am given, but I don’t believe her. Apparently, this Apoquel pill and the good diet I am on are really helping to alleviate my allergies…..and my daily allergy medication costs only $2.25/day.

I only know one command, which is “sit,” but I am definitely open to learning more commands. A fenced yard is a requirement for me, but I am leash trained. I am also crate trained, but prefer not to be crated if at all possible. I am housebroken, too.

I don’t require someone to be home with me all day or a pet sitter/dog walker to come to let me out for a mid-day break, but I would definitely love it! My ideal home would include a person that is home most of the day because I really do enjoy humans much more than dogs. I would actually be fine without a doggie companion in my forever home, because I don’t play that much with other dogs anyway.

I am a calm dog unless I see people and dogs that I don’t know. I must admit that I go temporarily “crazy” when I see a stranger. With my 4 foster doggie siblings, I pretty much keep to myself. I have no beef with them when it comes to food or toys. Humans are much more important to me than dogs. I absolutely love to snuggle with my person!

I do have a 4 year old’s energy and will need a walk or two each day. I LOVE large balls and have recently started chewing on Nylabones. Despite all of this, I still would prefer sitting on my person’s lap (no matter what my person is doing) to anything else.

I do have to confess that I have some emotional baggage from living in an abusive situation before my previous mom saved me. When I see strange people and dogs in passing, I get frantic and start the Frenchie death yodel. My foster mom thinks that I am scared and with some confidence building, my fears will improve. This could take a while, though, so I will require a lot of love and patience from my forever home.

My previous mommy who saved me was a teacher and would take me to school with her, so I am good with children. She did notice, however, that I would sometimes become reactive towards certain men like the UPS man. I also got a little nippy with a guy with a weed eater and a gentleman using a walker.

I am really an amazing little guy. I know that I won’t be available for long, because my foster mom says that I am “PERFECT.” Please consider applying for me. I promise you won’t regret it if you are chosen to be my forever home!
