Kacey

My story

Hi, I'm Kacey 💕 The Girl Who Refuses to Let Her Past Steal Her Sparkle My name is Kacey, "I just took a DNA test, turns out im 100% that bitch, yea i got my problems thats the bulldog in me!" and if there is one thing you should know about me, it's that I refuse to let the hard parts of my story define who I am. I'm only about a year old, but somewhere along the way life asked a little too much of me. Before coming to Freedom Frenchie Rescue, I was found as a stray and taken to Riverside County Shelter. Nobody knows exactly where I came from or what happened before that, so don’t ask! But when the rescue stepped in and got me the medical care I needed, it became pretty clear that my body had already been through things no young dog should have experienced. During my spay surgery, the veterinarian discovered my uterus was the size of a Rottweiler's. Let that sink in for a minute. I'm a small French Bulldog mix who weighs about 27 pounds, yet my little body was carrying the signs of a life that had likely been focused on producing puppies rather than simply being a dog. One of my ovaries was sent to a pathologist for testing, and we'll update my profile when those results come back. While parts of my past remain a mystery, what matters most is that those days are behind me now. Today, my biggest concerns involve finding the best spot on the couch, figuring out who wants to play tug-of-war, and making sure nobody forgets to hand out treats. Life's Too Short Not to Have Fun My foster family says I'm the life of the party, and honestly, I think they're right. I wake up every morning ready to see what the day has planned for me. Maybe it's a walk. Maybe it's a game of tug-of-war. Maybe it's zooming around the yard with my dog friends like we're training for the Olympics. Whatever it is, I'm all in. I have the kind of personality that naturally pulls people in. I don't need to be the center of attention, but somehow I usually end up there because I genuinely enjoy life. If another dog wants to play, count me in. If someone is handing out treats, I'll happily volunteer as tribute. If we're loading up for an adoption event, I'm already at the door waiting. There is something about me that just believes every day is going to be a good day, and even after everything I've been through, I've managed to hold onto that optimism. My Friends Mean Everything To Me I absolutely adore other dogs. Not tolerate them. Not simply coexist with them. Adore them. One of my favorite things about living in foster care is having dog friends around me. I love playing tug-of-war, sharing bones, running zoomies through the yard, and curling up next to another dog when it's time to relax. While I can certainly entertain myself, I truly thrive when I have a canine companion. My foster family believes I would do best in a home with another playful dog because having a buddy gives me confidence, keeps me active, and simply makes life more fun. The best part is that I'm incredibly easygoing. Other dogs can get right in my face and I rarely react. I'm not interested in drama. I'm not interested in proving anything. I just want to play, hang out, and enjoy life with my friends. Tiny Face, Giant Expressions I have been told I make some of the funniest faces imaginable. One minute I'm looking at you like I've uncovered the meaning of life, and the next I'm giving you a look that says I'm fairly certain you forgot to pay the cheese tax. My foster family laughs all the time because my expressions seem to perfectly match whatever is happening around me. My eyes are probably my most recognizable feature. They're incredibly expressive and somehow manage to tell my entire story without me saying a word. There is softness in them, curiosity in them, and a little bit of mischief too. People often comment that it feels like I'm looking right into their soul, and honestly, I think that's because I really do pay attention to the people around me. I like being connected to my humans and knowing what's going on. Let's Talk About Potty Training Like many young dogs, I'm still working on perfecting my potty-training skills. I have made tremendous progress, but consistency is going to be the key to my success in a forever home. Right now, my foster family takes me outside frequently, and I do best when I have a structured schedule that helps me understand exactly what's expected of me. One thing that's pretty funny is that I strongly prefer doing my business on rocks instead of grass. So if you happen to have turf, there's a pretty good chance I'll help keep it looking nice. I do occasionally go potty outside and then come back in and decide I wasn't completely finished, which is why continuing my routine in a new home will be important. The good news is that I'm very food motivated, eager to please, and smart enough to figure it out quickly with the right guidance. You won’t regret anything with my adoption except maybe two more just like me! Kacey is spay vaccinated and microchipped, her adoption donation fee is $1100.00.
