Roly-Poly is a 3-4 year old French Bulldog who we rescued from the shelter. He's a round and chunky fellow (hence the name!) weighing in at about 26 lbs. When our volunteer went to the shelter, Roly put his paws up on the bars of his kennel and begged, 'please take me!' How could we say no to that face?!
Roly's foster says: He is the most gentle, loving dog we have ever met. The first day he stayed in the crate for an hour or so then slowly came out. He very quickly accepted cuddles but seemed a little nervous and a little scared of quick movements close to him and would tend to look scared and back away. Within a couple of days he got used to the noise of the home and could sleep through violin practice and the roomba and just general kids noise around him. He loves to be cuddled and will walk into any lap that is available and will not move away. He likes to be in the middle of everything. After a few days, he offered his trust to his and gave us his belly for rubs.
Roly wakes up in the morning around 6:30 am on weekdays and 7:30am on the weekend and quickly likes to get his business done. He's about 95% potty trained but dislikes going out on cold mornings! He generally prefers to eat lunch and dinner when the family eats. He loves going for walks when the sun is out a few times a day and sunning himself. He mostly likes to hang in the home office and nap or in the family room for his naps but prefers to be wherever there are the most people around. At night he sleeps in our room on the floor on his doggy bed. He sleeps great through the night.
He loves to go on walks (20ish minutes) a few times a day. He is very comfortable with the leash and only pulls a bit when he sees another dog he wants to play with. He does tend to bark very little also at this time.
Roly gets along with most dogs of his size range, but some might find his typical Frenchie play-style a bit too much. He has played with the foster's neighbor's dog and they get along really well!
Roly-Poly is an option for a home with prior dog experience that has owned a Frenchie or has done their research on the breed and understands their needs. He is an option for kids 5+.
