Gorgeous Frenchton for Adoption

Meet FRENCHIE



Frenchie is half Boston Terrier and half French Bulldog. Frenchtons are a "designer breed". She was rescued and treated for heartworms and is done with her treatment. thus available now. She has been spayed and is 2 years old.  I am her foster mom, as she is with the BTRTOC (FB, Website).  I have had her over 3 months so I know her well and love her like crazy. She will have to go thru the adoption process (home visit, references, meet and greet) and will have a fee ($300 range).  She can go anywhere from FL up to VA and over to TN. Any other locations will be up to the BTRTOC group.

Frenchie is a natural alpha and was never trained (as a breeder dog) and had to scrap some on the streets where she was picked up. She has aggressive tendencies each time she meets a new dog but with time and established rules/training, she does fine with docile other dogs. She runs freely now with mine (4), house, yard and car rides.  She would be best as an only dog that doesn't interact a lot with other dogs OR someone that is a calm and assertive alpha with chill other dogs.  She will chase any other animal (cats, etc). She is a natural hunter and very athletic so a big fenced yard and active family (go for walks and runs daily) is important.

She loves to ride anything and be with her human.  She was never socialized with other dogs and is happy enough in her kennel to eat and sleep (or will sleep on the bed and barely move all night).  She is protective around her food and toys. which I keep in crate. She is great with people and kids - no issues. And she is in perfect health.  She loves the outdoors and loves to hike. She weighs 22 lbs, is full grown, short and stocky.

She was a breeder dog and had pups. At some point the little scrapper was found on the streets and I have fostered her since the Humane Society picked her up.  She is a show stopper, gorgeous coloring, and tight little body.  She knows her name well and always comes when called.  She doesn't  know any other tricks yet but she is a people pleaser so with work, she can learn it all. She is smart, alert, and willing to please. And she knows she is cute.

She walks on a leash now and does pull some.  Work in progress.  She has a doggie door and uses it, and is mostly house trained (must take her right out when she wakes up or may pee on a mat). Frenchie loves chew toys, ripping up stuffed animals, balls, etc.  She gets excited to go for rides or runs. She hoards all the dogs chew toys, etc.  She has 99% learned now what she can chew and what is not allowed (shoes, etc) so I can leave her in house unattended- no issues but you will want to start over with short stints at first and remember it takes 2-3 weeks for a dog to show their real personality and 3 months for them to know the routine and be comfortable in their new home. 

The right person or family will fall in love with this sweetheart fast. She will still need some work but has come a long way in her 90 days with me.  Everywhere we go people stop me to talk about this beautiful dog.  Help me find the perfect forever home for this amazing pup Frenchie.
