Welcome Porkchop aka Porky!
This handsome fella came into FBR recently after being taken in by his owner due to a family member not taking care of him. Surprisedly at his older age he was too energetic for the kids and dogs in the home so he spend most of his time at the family business. He has typical skin, ear, and eyes issues that we will get checked out at the vet and get a treatment plan for him.

If you would like to help us with his medical care please consider making a donation.

Something to consider when looking into adopting a French Bulldog. ⬇️

🧠 KNOW BEFORE YOU COMMIT 🐾

📚 Understanding IVDD in French Bulldogs 📚

French Bulldogs are adorable, affectionate, and full of personality — but behind the cute face can come serious health risks. One of the most common and heartbreaking conditions they face is IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease).

💔 What is IVDD?
IVDD is a spinal condition where the discs between the vertebrae deteriorate or rupture, leading to pain, nerve damage, or even paralysis. It can happen suddenly — one day your dog is walking, the next they’re unable to move their back legs.

🔍 Why are Frenchies at risk?
French Bulldogs are a brachycephalic (short-nosed), dwarf breed, which makes them more vulnerable to spinal issues like IVDD. Their compact, muscular bodies and short legs contribute to this risk.

🚨 What does IVDD mean for a pet owner?

•Emergency vet visits
•Expensive surgery or months of crate rest and rehab
•Emotional stress for you and your pup
•Possible permanent disability

🧠 Do your research 💡

Before getting a French Bulldog (or any breed), please understand the breed’s potential health concerns. Ask breeders about genetic screening, and always consider adopting from a rescue that screens and educates adopters.

❤️ Frenchies are worth loving — but they deserve informed, prepared homes.

Brixy is getting spayed and having entropion surgery today along with getting some dewormer to get rid of worms she came into rescue with. She had a UTI and ear infection that we are also treating.

We couldn’t help her without our fundraising efforts throughout the year. Want to help us help more dogs like Brixy? Please consider sponsoring our event in October. You can sponsor as a family or business: https://www.flbulldogrescue.com/bootscootinbullybash
