Moujik

My Thanks to the Chicago French Bulldog Rescue
I adopted Moujik, formerly known as Marley, on May 16th. He is now 8 months old. I have always loved the name Moujik, and for me, a French Bulldog needs a French name! In French slang Moujik means “guy” and how perfect for this little boy. Every Frenchie owned by the fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent was named Moujik, and Moujik 2 was the subject of the final portrait painted by Andy Warhol; the only dog ever immortalized by this famous pop artist.He is a smart and affectionate dog with typical high energy. He is so agile he can run fast and leap into the air like a gazelle! Being a typical Frenchie, he is willful and not without several “brat attacks” each day. In spite of his history of abuse and neglect, within the past month he is now thriving. Training is going well and he loves his new home and neighborhood. He walks up to total strangers, sits down, and waits to be petted; he also enjoys playing with other pooches. Every day he visits his friends at the flower shop next door and sits patiently waiting for a treat. When I take him out at 6 am, while most people are still asleep and before he goes potty, he rushes to the door of the flower shop for a treat.He is a total delight and already loved by many. He will certainly grow up to be a great Frenchie. I am so happy I rescued him.Moujik is pictured with his new best friend Christine, who owns the flower shop next door.

Dani

January, 2009 We adopted Dani (formally Dani Girl) a couple of weeks ago and she is such a delightful, cute and charming addition to our family! Our daughters, Wendy and Jenny, also have Frenchies, Roxy and Zella, and this Christmas was such a fun one with all three playing and running around. They couldn't decide which of the three beds to sleep in! Danny loves to cuddle, and every morning when we get up, we cuddle, and the same when we get home from work. Thank you all for rescuing Dani, and bringing her into our home. -Carol and Andy Ban

Josie

I am loving my new life! Look how happy and healthy I look!!
Hi! My name is Josie and I’m about 3 years old.The reason I don’t know my real birth dateis because I came from a puppy mill where birthdays didn’t matter.I lived in a cage and as soon as I was big enoughI was bred to have babies to sell.I suffer from a lot of allergies but I guess that made my old owners mad because they just ignored them and let me get sores all over my body and ear infections.They even kicked me so hard that they tore my diaphragm and some of my organs lodged around my heart and lungs.One day I was going to go to another mill, but a kind woman from a Golden Retriever Rescue saw me and saved me.She called CFBR and I went to live with a family who fell in love with me.I was half bald and covered with open sores so they took me topeople called veterinarians right away.(I had never met one but they are nice!)They treated my sores and sent me to specialists at Purdue University for surgery on my chest.When my old owners kicked me, my pancreas, spleen, uterus and ovary lodged around my heart, so it needed to get fixed or I would die.I came through the surgery with flying colors, but from years of neglect they found out I was deaf in one ear (too many untreated ear infections they said).I now see a specialist every month to treat my allergies and save my one good ear.I don’t have sores on my body anymore and my fur is soft and full now.I can hear pretty good now too especially when there are treats involved!I finally found out what love and a family is thanks to CFBR! When I go to sleep at night in my nice soft bed, surrounded by my canine brothers and sisters, and my new mom and dad, I pray other homeless, neglected, and mistreated Frenchies find a great home too!

Apollo

Apollo is one handsome lug of a boy. Apollo's current owners purchased him from a couple in the city who both worked and no longer had time for him. He has been with his family since May of 2009. Apollo just turned 5 in April. He is not only gorgeous, but healthy as well! Apollo is looking for a new home because he has decided that he does not wish to share oxegen with the resident male Newfoundland that has been been with the family for over 6 years. Apollo's current momma loves him to death, but is afraid that if things escalate, one of her "boys" will

Nina

Meet Nina- she is a frenchie who thinks she can fly! Yes- you read that right- she has jumped off her owners balcony TWICE- so her new home must have NO BALCONIES!!!! She had a plate and pin put in her leg after the first jump and walks and runs normally. We recently had a pin removed, as the leg was healed and the pin was causing an ulcer on her elbow. Her second time jumping- she miracously had no injuries at all! She recently had surgery so she can now breath clearly and not overheat as easily as she did before coming into rescue.

Sweetie

Meet Sweetie- she is just that IF she does not have other dogs to compete with! Her owners had to give her up to rescue due to allergy issues and her not getting along with their other dogs. She resource guards toys around other dogs but not around people.

Lady Beatrice

Meet Lady Beatrice! She is one sweet little pug whose owner had to give her up due to the economy and the families current situation. She is great with kids and other dogs if that are not too hyper with her. She loves to be loved on, go for car rides and short walks or run around a yard or the house. She loves her toys and food time! She has stenosis of the rear and knuckles her back feet when she walks but can run like a rabbit! She wears a diaper as she dribbles sometimes due to the stenosis but she seems to like wearing it and will go potty outside on command.

Cookie is a 6 year old French Bulldog that was used for breeding. She has overcome a tremendous amount of health issues- which she has overcome. When we received her into the rescue, she had a UTI. Medicine didn't work, so the vets surgically went in and removed some of her kidney and some of her bladder. Gave her antibiotics and said she should get better.
