Pierre

My story

Pierre — The Little Gentleman with a Big Houdini Personality Hi friends, Pierre here. I’m about 18 pounds of Frenchie charm, confidence, and just the right amount of mischief. The shelter guessed I’m around eight years old… but let’s be real—I don’t move like an eight-year-old. With my energy, my hops, and my ability to clear gates like a tiny athlete, my rescue thinks I’m closer to six and a half. Part Dog… Part Magician I’m a bit of a Houdini. Gates? Suggestions. Crates? I have opinions. Very loud opinions. I will absolutely sit there and chatter about how much I don’t like it. The good news? I’m learning. I’ve started going into my crate on my own and relaxing—it just takes patience and consistency. Friends, Fun, and Frenchie Energy I LOVE other dogs. I recently went to Chaparral Dog Park and had the best time running around with a whole crew of Frenchies. I’d do best in a home with one or two other dogs—not a big pack. I like a buddy, but I also like my space. Snacks Are My Love Language I LOVE food. Snacks? Yes. Treats? Even better. I take them so gently too—like the little gentleman I am. Honestly, we have no idea why someone gave up on me. Learning the House Rules I’m still working on house training, but I’m getting better every day. I just need consistency and someone willing to keep guiding me. Velcro Mode: Activated I am not an independent dog—I am a Velcro Frenchie. I want to be near you, on you, next to you, getting all the cuddles and booty scratches. A Little Extra Care The shelter flagged me as IVDD, but I am not paralyzed. Like many Frenchies, I have some natural vertebral changes. My back legs can be a little shaky, but I’m on Gabapentin and joint supplements that are helping. Keeping my inflammation down will be key to my success, and supportive care like physical therapy or chiropractic work would be great for me. Perfect Match I need a home that understands me—quirky, loving, and a little stubborn. One or two dog friends would be perfect, along with a family that wants a true companion. Final Match I’m funny, affectionate, determined, and full of personality. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh and love you endlessly—I’m your guy.
