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.

We are Family!

All my sisters and me!
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 [...]

Zoey, a Little Bit Frenchie and a Little Bit Not!

Zoey, a Little Bit Frenchie and a Little Bit Not!

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.

Cosmo – Rolling Happily into Another Spring!

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.

LouLou is Smitten by Spring!  (sort of)

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 [...]

Road Trip! plus a 2009 Year End Summary…

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, [...]

Tazz
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 [...]

The WebDog adds a picture gallery and introduces some new faces!

Cletus the WebDog is a very wise French Bulldog. While the Webmistress was outside, searching behind the bushes for her newest foster dog, he was perched on the office chair in front of the computer, typing with his tiny toes, and adding this slideshow of ALL our K-Kids for you to enjoy!

Working with a Difficult Dog – Desmond’s Training Videos

Our K Kid Desmond was surrendered to the French Bulldog Village at just a year old because he was exhibiting some very serious bad behavior. One of his worst habits was resource guarding, which led to his owner being bitten on more than one occasion.
In the two accompanying videos, Desmond’s foster mom, Lori Kobayashi, [...]

Desmond – A Long, Hard Road Ahead

Desmond
Desmond is a healthy, one year old French Bulldog, with  emphasis on the “Bully” in Bulldog. He was surrendered to the FBVillage by a loving owner who just was not prepared to handle a dog that needs a strong pack leader.
Desmond demonstrates very pronounced source guarding and location guarding behavior that, if not properly redirected, [...]
