💔 $5 FRIDAY — WE NEED HELP 💔

I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this post. I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling to figure out how to keep everything going.

After purchasing one bag of dog food and one small box of diapers, we will be broke again. That is all I can afford right now. One bag of food lasts maybe 2–3 days in this rescue, and if you know anything about Frenchie behinds, you know how quickly a box of diapers disappears. 😞

That means Canyon’s medications cannot be refilled, and veterinary appointments have had to be rescheduled because the funds simply aren’t there.

Canyon is also having ANOTHER allergic reaction. She broke out in hives last night, and her medication refills alone will cost close to $150.

Then there’s our hot mess express, Augus, who once again needs to be seen for possible eye issues. We suspect entropion, and we cannot afford to keep putting off the care our dogs need.

These are just two of the dogs who need help. There are multiple appointments coming up, ongoing medications, prescription diets, supplements, food, diapers, wipes, and so many other necessities. The needs never stop, but the donations have slowed to the point that I genuinely don’t know what to do next.

Lately, I’ve found myself questioning whether Kansas even needs a French bulldog-focused rescue.

I know we are not accepting new intakes right now, but that does not mean the dogs already in my care stop needing help. They still deserve their medications, veterinary care, full bellies, clean diapers, and a chance at the best quality of life possible.

I could write this post and say “we,” but the truth is that right now, it is just me. I am doing everything alone, trying to stretch every dollar, make impossible decisions, and somehow keep all the pieces together.

One person cannot run a rescue alone, and one person cannot financially sustain it alone.

I am drowning in the stress of wondering how these dogs will eat, how their medications will get refilled, and how I will afford the next unexpected emergency. It is exhausting to wake up every day carrying the weight of these worries, and I am at a loss.

I see the value in these dogs. I see what they deserve. I know the difference this rescue can make. But in moments like this, I have to ask myself: does anyone else still see it, too? 💔

I am still actively working toward selling my home and purchasing land to build a future for this rescue and the animals who will one day need us. I have not given up on that dream. I am trying so hard to build something sustainable for these dogs, but I have to make it through today before I can get to tomorrow.

Today, I am asking for help. Not because it is easy to ask, but because I have reached the point where I cannot do this alone anymore.

If you can spare $5 today, please consider donating. If you cannot donate, sharing this post helps more than you know. Every single dollar adds up, and even a small donation can help us get food in bowls, diapers on our special-needs babies, and medications back in our hands.

Please help us keep caring for the dogs who are already depending on us. They did not ask for the medical challenges they face, and they deserve better than to have their care delayed because the funds have run dry.

If you have ever supported Fighters For Frenchies Foundation, shared our posts, cheered us on, or believed in what we do, I need you now more than ever and you’re so appreciated.

I cannot keep doing this alone. These dogs still need us. Please don’t let them down. 💔🐾

🚨 FOSTER NEEDED FOR CANYON! 🚨

This big girl is looking for a home where she can finally have what she needs most: time, attention, and a person of her own. 💗

Canyon is around 3–4 years old, and while she may look like a big, tough girl, she’s also a total snuggle bug! 🐾 She loves attention, enjoys being close to her people, and has that protective side that makes her feel like the perfect companion. She would love nothing more than a home where she can be the center of her humans’ world.

🏡 What does Canyon need?
🐶 An ONLY-DOG home.
👩 She tends to prefer women but can warm up to men with time, patience, and understanding.
❤️ A home where she can spend quality time with her people and receive the attention she deserves.
💊 A foster willing to continue her allergy care and help us get her medical needs on track.
🌻 A foster in Wichita or close enough to attend her veterinary appointments.

Canyon is currently on a prescription diet and two new medications, including medication for her ears. Our next step is to pursue allergy testing so we can better understand her needs and find the best way to manage her allergies long-term.

We know medical care can sound intimidating, but Canyon’s needs are very manageable, especially in a home where she is the only dog. She doesn’t need a house full of animals or anything extravagant. She needs a person who can give her the individual attention, consistency, and love that are difficult to provide in a home with so many other animals.

Unfortunately, Canyon is struggling in her current foster home because the number of animals makes it difficult for her to have the one-on-one time with people that she needs. She deserves a chance to relax, bond with her humans, and just be a dog. ❤️

🙏 Can you be Canyon’s person? Even if you can’t foster, please share her post! The right home could make a world of difference for this sweet girl.

🖤 October is Spina Bifida Awareness Month! 🧡

Augus is our sweet English Bulldog who has faced more than his fair share of health struggles. He came to us at just 6 months old, and what we thought would be a simple case of cherry eyes quickly turned into a much bigger journey.

Since then, Augus has been diagnosed with spina bifida, hip dysplasia, gastrointestinal issues, allergies, and, most recently, alopecia. It seems like this boy has collected just about every Bulldog-related issue imaginable!

🩺 So, what is spina bifida in dogs?

Spina bifida is a congenital condition that occurs when the backbone and spinal cord do not develop completely before birth. Depending on its severity, it can affect nerve function, mobility, and bladder and bowel control. In Augus’s case, it leaves him incontinent, meaning he cannot reliably control when he urinates or has bowel movements.

❓ What does that mean for Augus?

He’s a full-time diaper-wearing guy who needs regular diaper changes, careful hygiene, and monitoring to help prevent skin irritation and urinary tract infections. We also take extra precautions with his mobility. Large flights of stairs are off-limits, and we minimize jumping to avoid unnecessary strain on his body.

He may be high-maintenance, and those wrinkles may require plenty of cleaning, but we wouldn’t change a thing about the love we have for this boy.

Augus is a reminder that special-needs dogs deserve comfort, patience, and the chance to live their very best lives. They may require a little extra work, but the love they give in return is priceless.

This Spina Bifida Awareness Month, help us spread awareness and also celebrate the people who go the extra mile for their special-needs pups.

🐾 Every animal deserves a chance, no matter what challenges life throws their way.

🐈‍⬛🧡 HAPPY CATURDAY FROM SHOTO! 🧡🐈‍⬛

Meet Shoto! One of the TWO special-needs kitties we currently have available for adoption through Fighters For Frenchies!

Shoto is 3 years old and has radial hypoplasia, a congenital condition that causes the radius bones in his front legs to be underdeveloped. This gives him two uniquely shaped front paws that make him extra special and full of character! 🐾🥹

He loves other cats and some dogs, as long as they know how to respect his space and leave him alone. Shoto must remain an indoor-only kitty and would benefit from staying on joint supplements to help support his long-term joint health.

🌻 Located in Wichita, KS

This handsome boy has so much love to give, and we would love to find him a family who sees just how special he is!

Could Shoto be your new best friend? Send us an adoption application and help us find this special guy his forever home!

🙌🏻 Here’s to some much-needed Frenchie-friendly weather!

The weather is finally changing, and while not everyone is a fan, I think we can all agree that Frenchie owners are collectively breathing a sigh of relief! 😂

Does anyone else get tired of being the bad guy all summer, making your Frenchie come inside when they swear they’re not done playing yet? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Now we’re entering the season of longer walks, more fresh air, and a little extra outdoor time! Just look at sweet Biscotti enjoying a stroll with her amazing foster parents. 🥹💕

💰🐾 $5 Friday For Fighters For Frenchies! 🐾💰

We’re running low on funds, and with no recent adoptions, donations are more important than ever to help us continue caring for the dogs who depend on us.

Canyon is needing medication refills and a new bag of prescription food, which will total a little over $300. On top of that, there are appointments, medications, supplements, special diets, diapers, wipes, and all the everyday necessities that keep our dogs healthy and comfortable.

We are also extremely low on diapers and wipes for our special-needs babies. These supplies are essential for keeping our incontinent dogs clean, comfortable, and healthy. ❤️

The needs never seem to end, and while we wouldn’t trade these dogs for anything, the financial responsibility of caring for them is a constant challenge for a small rescue like ours.

If everyone who saw this could spare just $5, it would help us get a little closer to covering these needs. If you can’t donate right now, sharing this post helps more than you know!

Every $5, every share, and every bit of support makes a difference for the Frenchies who need us. 🐶

🙏 Please consider supporting our $5 Friday!

Thank you for standing behind Fighters For Frenchies Foundation and helping us continue to show up for our babies. We truly couldn’t do this without you!

💛 Adopt Ollie 💛

Ollie is a 6-year-old French bulldog who is still patiently waiting for the one thing he wants most in the world… his forever mama.

Now, Ollie is what we lovingly call “selectively social with very strong opinions.” He lives with occasional skin allergies (a very common Frenchie challenge), but his real quirks are all about his boundaries and comfort zone.

Ollie is:
🚫 Not a fan of children
🚫 Not comfortable with men
🚫 Very dog selective (he’s happiest as an only dog, though he may be able to coexist with the right calm female companion)
😺 Surprisingly cat friendly after a few “feline life lessons”
🌻 Located in Wichita, KS

Because of this, his dream home is very specific: a calm, adult-only home with no dogs, ideally with a woman who wants a devoted shadow, couch buddy, and best friend. A female, adult only home is the perfect environment for him. This sweet boy just wants a mama of his own and to be your forever shadow.

We know that sounds like a unicorn home. But Ollie is proof that sometimes the right match exists exactly as you need it to.

In the right environment, Ollie transforms. He is affectionate, deeply loyal, and absolutely thrives when he can finally relax and just be someone’s dog. He wants nothing more than to follow you from room to room, curl up beside you, and never feel like he has to compete for attention again.

Right now, Ollie is struggling in his foster environment with multiple dogs, crate rotation, and constant stress. It’s not where he can shine—or where he can heal into the happiest version of himself.

He doesn’t need a big world. He just needs one person. His person.

Are you Ollie’s forever mom? That’s all this boy really wants. 💛

🐷 PIGLET IS STILL WAITING FOR HER FOREVER FAMILY!

Piglet is a 2–3-year-old Frenchie who has been patiently waiting for the family who is willing to see past some of her very typical Frenchie quirks and give her the structure, patience, and understanding she needs.

We’ve received some wonderful applications for this girl, but Piglet does require a very specific home, and we want to be completely transparent about that.

Piglet is dog-friendly and typically does great living with other dogs in the home. However, she can be reactive toward dogs in certain situations outside of the home. Vet visits can be extremely stressful for her, so we recommend bringing her directly into a private exam room rather than having her wait around other dogs. She also happens to be a professional fence fighter 😂. If there is a dog on the other side of the fence, Piglet will absolutely antagonize them!

Because of this, she needs a very secure, tall fence that she cannot jump over. And trust us… this girl can JUMP! She would not be a good candidate for dog parks or crowded environments with other dogs. Even dogs passing by on leash can cause her to react, which creates a tremendous amount of stress for both Piglet and her person.

We know that sounds like a lot, but Piglet is also a wonderful, fun-loving girl who enjoys playing hard and being around the right dogs in her own home. Her favorite activity is playing outside and pushing balls around — she is our very own little ⚽️ soccer star!

And if there is mud anywhere she can possibly reach… she WILL find it. Within seconds, she’ll be completely covered. 😂 That’s exactly how she earned the name Piglet! 🐷

Piglet would do best with older children, preferably 10+, because she can play VERY rough. When she gets excited, she may accidentally grab hands while someone is holding a toy, so younger children would not be the best match.

But when playtime is over? Piglet is a total snuggle bug. ❤️ She loves attention, belly rubs, being close to her people, and soaking up all the affection she can get.

She is high-energy, approximately 80% potty trained, and still very much a work in progress. Like many of the younger Frenchies who come into our rescue, Piglet had very little training, socialization, or guidance before coming to us. She isn’t perfect — but she is learning.

We truly believe that in the right home, Piglet will thrive and become an incredibly loving and entertaining member of the family.

After her spay and nare surgery, we honestly thought this beautiful girl would be out the door fairly quickly. Instead, she is still patiently waiting. 💔

🌻 Piglet is located in Wichita, KS.

She doesn’t need a perfect family. She needs a family who understands her, can manage her quirks, and is willing to continue helping her become the best version of herself.

🏡 She’s ready for her forever. Could that be your family? Applications can be found on our website! ⬇️
