Peaches the Frenchie!
Peaches the Frenchie!
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Peaches the Frenchie! Not to be confused with big Peaches the Pittie!
Are you a boy or girl?
I’m a darling little girl.
How old are you?
I am approximately five years old as of the end of 2024.
What breed are you?
I’m a French-fry! Well, they say I am a French Bulldog, but I identify as a potato and the best kind of potatoes are fries.
How much do you weigh?
I am a tiny little 11 pound nugget. Yes, you read that right! I just might be the smallest Frenchie ever… and I am fully grown!
Who do you live with?
I live with my foster mom and her three boys, ranging in age from eight to 14 years, plus two doggy friends, a cat, a tortoise, and six chickens. I am really into my foster mom and we hang out since she works from home. I like when the boys play video games or read books so I can cuddle with them.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I hang out in my crate. It’s a safe place and I have learned to really like it. The resident dogs have crates right next to mine so I am not alone.
WHERE DO you sleep?
At bed time I sleep in my crate. During the day, I sleep on the couch, on the chair, in the sun, on the other dogs… I really excel at naps.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I do! I only have about a mile in me before I am spent, but the outside world is exciting.
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
Well, I personally wouldn’t call it a “bad habit” so much as a super power! I am really small and like to take advantage of my small stature to squeeze into places that I shouldn’t be, or out of places that I SHOULD be! The humans have figured me out, though, and they protect me from my adventures.
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
I am a work in progress with potty training. I will use potty pads in my pen. I need patience and structure to help me learn to potty outside, and I hope you will give me the guidance I need to learn what to do at your house.
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I like to hydrate. I am a water drinking champion. But do I like getting wet? What do they say about gremlins? That’s what my foster mom says about me. I have had a few baths…they were awful. 0/10 don’t recommend. The treats and towel dry after the baths *almost* make them worth it.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
They are really kind to me. Even when I make a mistake, they remind me I am a good girl and we try again. I am super motivated by praise and treats.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I don’t remember much about it, really. All I know is that an amazing Good Samaritan found me running down the street. I wasn’t feeling well, and they helped nurse me back to health. Then NorCal Bully Breed Rescue took me into their care to help me find the perfect family that will love me forever. Will you take me home with you?
WHAT IS YOUR ADOPTION FEE?
$1000
What do you look like?
I am a fawn-coated little lady with a white splash above my nose, satellite ears, the sweetest eyes, and the MOST amazing underbite that shows off my adorable teefs.
WHat do you like to eat?
I eat my kibble like the good little girl that I am. But I won’t turn down pretty much anything else that is offered, or that falls on the floor in my vicinity!
What kind of personality Do you have?
I am as sweet as a peach. I am goofy and love to dance on my hind legs when I am happy or excited. My preferred position is snuggled up with a human, seconded by snuggling up with a doggy friend. I want to please and am enjoying learning new things.
Describe your perfect day
I wake up and do a biiiiiig stretch before I head outside for potty time. After breakfast, I like to take a quick walk to help with digestion and get some sniffs in. I spend a good portion of the day napping with a human while they work from home or hanging calmly with my dog friends. After dinner, I love to play ball or just run around with the kids in the yard. Then it’s sleepy time after a very fun day!
What is your favorite Toy?
I am still figuring that out. I am not overly interested in toys unless someone else is first. But I do like the crinkly toys, and will chase a ball if you make it sound exciting.
Do You Know any Tricks?
I learned how to sit very quickly, and I know how to “go to bed” when told to. That is not only a super cute trick, but it is such a good girl thing to do, right?!? I am a skilled ballerina as I dance around on my hind legs! I am learning how to wait patiently at the door to be invited in/out. That’s a tough one, but I am smart and well behaved so I am working hard on it!
What Scares you?
Being left completely alone is a little scary. I’ve been practicing and, even though I still don’t like it, I am much calmer about it. Other than that, as long as I have a human or a dog friend nearby, I’m not afraid of anything! Oh, and I have to admit that the Frenchie side of me thinks the bottom of an empty food dish is terrifying, but it happens every day and so far I have survived (somehow).
Have you been around children?
Yes! I have been around kids of all ages, and I am good with everyone!
Do you like cats?
I’m not really interested in cats, except to try to sneak their yummy food! I have never tried to chase the cat in my foster home. My foster mom says that’s a good thing, because it means I’m a good girl, plus the cat is BIGGER than I am! Other than the occasional sniff and lick, we mind our own business.
How do you feel about other DOGS?
I want to be friends with every dog I see. I am a little sassy to potential new friends when I am on a leash, but I figure out quickly that they are not trying to take all the attention away from me.
If you could be anywhere, where would it be?
Snuggled up with a human, snoring! Either in the sun or under a blanket, dealer’s choice there.
HOw's your health?
I am a healthy girl.
