Kendrick

My story

Kendrick was rescued with 2 other frenchies. The owner sadly kept them outside in their backyard their whole lives. Kendrick is a gentle and loving companion who enjoys being around people and other dogs. He also does well with kids. He's mostly potty trained and crate trained, though he prefers spending time outdoors, which may be due to having spent most of his life outside before rescue. He’s a quiet boy who rarely barks and loves affection. He enjoys being held and cuddled. While he's mostly easygoing, he does get a bit stressed in the crate and will drool excessively when confined, which may be related to anxiety or discomfort. He also has a skin condition that is improving with medicated baths. Despite these challenges, he remains incredibly sweet and affectionate. He would do best in a home that can offer him patience and care as he continues to heal and adjust. 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.
