Fionna

My story

More info from her foster: Fiona is an wonderful girl! She's very affectionate and loves attention. She is a total doll and very sweet. Sleeps on my lap while I work. She loves other dogs and is very social. Fiona is a also very quiet, she does not bark at all, only snorts and snores! She’s about 80% potty trained and does well with a consistent routine. Taking her out at regular times each day helps reinforce good habits. She does well with sleeping through the night without needing potty breaks. She doesn’t like being left alone and may have accidents, so if she’s home for an extended period, we keep her in a contained area with potty pads. However, she has GERD, which can sometimes cause mild reflux. Most of the time, she simply swallows it back down without issue. To help manage this, she eats softened food in smaller, more frequent meals. While she experiences reflux throughout the day, it doesn’t affect her happy, loving nature. Be ready to adopt.

French Bulldogs are loving, playful, and sociable dogs that thrive on companionship. They are generally low-maintenance in grooming and have charming personalities. Their loving nature makes them amazing companions, whether for families or individuals. Health Considerations As a brachycephalic breed, Frenchies are prone to certain health challenges, including: - Breathing issues due to their short snouts, which can worsen in heat or during strenuous activity. - Skin and food allergies requiring dietary management and skincare routines. - Joint problems like hip dysplasia or intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). - Higher susceptibility to overheating, requiring temperature control and limited activity in hot weather. While they bring endless joy, potential owners should be prepared for regular veterinary care and possible higher medical costs to ensure their health and happiness. With proper care, French Bulldogs make delightful and devoted pets.
