Every now and again, we really have to dig down deep into our hearts to decide whether a life is worth saving. It’s not all that hard a decision to make when you’re willing to put your common sense aside and just look at that little face looking back at you. At least it wasn’t a difficult decision for our wonderful volunteer, Pam Mayes, When we told her about our little French Bulldog puppy with legs that didn’t seem to work at all, Pam didn’t even hesitate. She immediately agreed to take her in.

Just this past week, the FBVillage lost a grand little French Bulldog. He didn’t give his foster mom much occasion to believe he was ill until the day he died, and then he went peacefully, drifting away in his sleep, curled up in his bed only a few feet away from her chair.
He had been a bit subdued the day before, and that very morning he had vomited a little in his bed, but he still went out with his best bulldog buddy, Hula. They liked to sunbathe together on the deck. His foster mom went off to work for three hours, and when she cam home at 1:30, he didn’t want to have anything to eat or even get out of bed. so his foster mom made an appointment for him that afternoon at 5:00. Spike never made that appointment.
“I made some business calls for an hour and went to check on him and he was gone. I was only sitting about 15 feet from him. He looked like he was sleeping. I took him in to the vet’s office, and he called me later to say Spike had a tumor on his spleen that had ruptured. He thinks the tumor had only been there for 4-5 weeks and that there was no way of me knowing that it was there. Spike will be cremated and his remains will stay with me.
I was so optimistic that he was doing better. He was putting on weight and actually having firm poop for the first time. I was hoping to get him ready for the French Bulldog Bus once his poop straightened out. He still didn’t have bladder control, but a towel on the belly on our way to the back door worked just fine. I laughed the other night because I forgot the towel and picked him up to go out and he sprayed the entire sliding glass door with urine. I didn’t mind at all. I did laundry every day for him.
He had a funny little walk due to his spinal surgery but was a very sweet loving dog who was kind to all two and four-legged creatures. He had a lovely frog face that could make you melt. He will be missed by everyone at home but especially by Hula who is being awfully quiet tonight and won’t go outside without him.”

The FBVillage has so many applicants from the North and the East that we thought we might just move a few Missouri and Oklahoma FBVillage foster dogs a teeny tiny bit closer to all those wonderful applicants… To that end, we’ve convinced Kathy Clayton, our FBVillage Mid West Regional Manager to [...]
Early one morning not so long ago, the shelter staff at the Lake City Animal Shelter in Lake City, Florida pulled an odd little creature out of the overnight drop boxes outside the shelter’s front doors. The note on the kennel indicated that this dog was a biter, which put an end to any possibility that our little Miss Zoey would find a home among the good citizens of Lake City and environs. The Lake City Animal Shelter is a high volume kill shelter, and like so many other unwanted dogs, it looked as though Zoey was on a fast track from the drop box into the fire.

When Shawn Seamans and his wife Jody returned home from a brief shopping trip, they returned to the kind of nightmare that no person should ever have to endure: their recently purchased home in flames and their dogs and cat inside, beyond their reach and beyond any hope of rescue, their fourteen [...]
I brought her home last July, a frightened angry little old blind French Bulldog, turned out by the person she had lived with since she was a puppy. He didn’t even know how old she was, maybe 10 or 11. She had traveled with him across country, he said, from New York to [...]
Vito was surrendered to the FBVillage by a young soldier’s wife when her husband was deployed to Iraq for a year, and she found herself looking after three young boys, two cats, and a five year old French Bulldog. That Vito was well loved in his former home was never questioned. They had [...]
The French Bulldog Bus is a French Bulldog Placement Service which focuses not only on rescue placements (our own K-Kids as well as dogs from other rescue groups or private rescuers), but also on breeder placements (older puppies, retirees, and other unique Frenchies). We also provide placement services for owners who, for health, financial, or [...]
Well, the hill is mostly clear of snow and the mud is manageable, and so I got pictures today of Cosmo and his cart. The cart is due to a generous donation of it from Deborah Jacques-Veinot. THANK YOU VERY MUCH you saved the Village hundreds of dollars.
The cart fits very nicely and with some trial runs first, it handles the outdoors very well.
It’s spring, and LouLou is transformed. She is even inspired to quote one of her favorite dead poets, Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837–1909). Who knew that an ancient, blind, snot-nosed French Bulldog could be so romantic? She is making her little Pug consort Clovis swoon with the beauty of her recitation, or maybe [...]
Alafair Burke is a not a newcomer on the crime scene beat, with five excellent mysteries already on the shelves and another in the works. Her five year sojourn as a Deputy District Attorney in Portland, Oregon gave her the material for the central character in her first series, the dedicated Deputy District Attorney [...]
See the little guy in the picture? His name is Stout, he is seven or eight years old, and when he walks, he sometimes tips over, but he gets right up again! He was sitting patiently at the Animal Harbor in Belvidere, a no-kill animal shelter operated by the Franklin County Humane Society, [...]
The holiday season is upon us, and while our little Frenchtons Duke and Bailey were dragged off against their will to sit on Santa’s lap for the inevitable Christmas picture, the rest of our little elves (French Bulldogs) were busy putting together a Christmas video for all of their very good friends out there in [...]

When a call came in from a home nurse about an elderly woman going into a nursing home and unable to take her beloved little eighteen month old French Bulldog with her, The French Bulldog Village jumped into action. One of our dedicated volunteer foster moms made the 7 hour round trip to fetch this [...]
