Rescues & Special needs Frenchies !
ForeverYoung is happy to help place and home all Frenchies we can, even those with special needs, birth defects, and problems, as we feel very strongly they all deserve a good loving Forever Home and the right home always comes along when it should and when it is meant to be. If you have a Frenchie you can no longer keep for what ever reason, or that you know is in need of help please feel free to contact us.
While we do have limited space we will do what we can to help whenever we can.
Please note while the adoption of these Frenchies is not free the fee charged is very low and basically to cover the costs of their food and boarding, medications, any neutering, as well as any vaccines or routine vet care required for them before they go to their new homes. Adoption fees range on average from $400.00 - $1,500, depending on the needs of each. All go neutered and current on vaccines.
From time to time clef puppies are. This is a fairly common birth defect that can occur and is seen in breeds such as the bulldog and is called a cleft palate. It is a defect that occurs in the developing fetus in utero. They are born with an opening (ie.clef) in the roof of their mouth (palate).
We have had a few such puppies over our years of breeding and while these puppies are usually euthanized at birth by most breeders, we have found they do just fine with extra special care for the first few weeks of their lives and then make wonderful loving pets with out any long term health problems. We feel it is important to give them this care and the life they are entitled to.
We have found a way to totally hand raise and tube feed these babies until they are about 6 weeks old when they can then start to eat dry food on their own. They can not eat the soft gruel and mush that most puppies are weaned onto as they have a hole in the inside roof of their mouth in which soft food would get lodged and stuck. This would cause them to aspirate the food into their nose and lungs causing a pneumonia which would be fatal and is why they can not suckle on their mother and nurse as a normal puppy would and thus they require the tube feedings and hand raising.
Once they are old enough to start on dry kibble we do this and they then do fine. We have also found that since a bulldog's head widens as they mature, the opening or clef, in the roof of the mouth tends to narrow and almost completely close as they mature into adults. They do NOT require surgery for this and do fine eating dry food for life. We usually keep them until 5-6 months of age to be extra certain all is good with them. They are also extra affectionate, loving, and smart as they are totally hand raised so very much bonded with people and think they are human. It creates an even more amazing and special character in them we have discovered.
"Ripley" ~ ADOPTED~ YEAH!!!!!!
~ We have now spayed our Beautiful Black Brindle Female " Hannah " and are looking for an exceptional pet home for her!
~ ** She is our real sweetheart and likes other dogs, kids and everyone! **
She is $1,500 and if interested please e-mail us and tell us about yourself and your home.
She is very calm and VERY loving, and is trained to both a doggie door to the back yard as well as to papers when need be for weather conditions.
~ Hannah is 4 years old, and of course has all her vaccines up to date. We prefer a home with its own yard for her as Hannah loves to roll in the grass and play outdoors with chidren.
~ We are also still looking for a great forever home for our spayed 3 year old girl "Ruby".
~ Ruby is a wonderfully beautiful red tri-pied girl and has the true "Bully" look similar to an English Bulldog in her stockiness..
She is a very laid back and VERY calm girl who likes to cuddle alot and be pettted. She is okay with other dogs as long as they are calm and do not pester her or jump on her to play. That she does not like and gets upset by. She likes to sleep alot and is not a barker at all and would be a great dog for someone in an apartment with no other dogs or another calm older mature dog, or anyone with a slow paced life style or someone very calm that wants to bond with just one dog. Ruby is $900.00 , current on all vaccines, and spayed as well of course. She does require her ears cleaned every week or two as they get inflammed if not, asis necessary for many bulldogs, but is otherwise very healthy!
News update!!!! We do have a very small compact five month old BLUE male that is gorgeous and very sweet that is available for $2,000. He was a clef baby we hand raised and were keeping ourselves but have decided we need to cut down on our number of dogs so they all get spoiled as much as they deserve. He is a available to the proper and great loving home. Please inquire and tell us about yourself if you are seriously interested.
"RUBY" - ** AVAILABLE ** - RED TRI-PIED FEMALE, $900.00
"HANNAH" - ** AVAILABLE ** - BLACK BRINDLE FEMALE, $1,500.00
