Story
**French bulldogs are highly prone to major medical issues such as IVDD and heat stroke and require extra precautions to ensure their safety and well-being. We are specifically looking for a bulldog-savvy home for Big Ed.** Handsome, sweet, and cuddly, Big Ed is the whole package! Big Ed is a little charmer who is estimated to be 1-2 years old. He is the sweetest boy around and loves nothing more than hanging out with his people and enjoying lots of pets. He is an easygoing guy who could spend all day chilling on the couch if you let him. Big Ed is fully grown and weighs about 28lbs. Big Ed came to us from a local shelter after he was found as a stray with another Frenchie (Goose) and a Malinois puppy. He was never claimed by a family, so we wasted no time to bust him and Goose out of the shelter and they have been thriving in a foster home ever since. Big Ed and Goose seem like they may be father and son based on their ages. They do not seem bonded and would do just fine being adopted separately. Big Ed is a mellow dude who enjoys the simpler things in life - food, cuddles, and the occasional stroll down the street. He is past all the puppy nonsense and has been enjoying life in the AC. Big Ed is very much a lap dog and his favorite place in the world is on someone's lap. He is a great napping buddy as long as you don't mind his snoring, haha. Big Ed seems like he hasn't had any basic manners training, so his new family will need to be dedicated to helping him learn things like not jumping on people to say hi. Big Ed has done well with the other small dogs he has met but seemed a little worried when introduced to a large dog. With a slow introduction, he may do well living with a large dog. Big Ed seems like he wouldn't mind being your spoiled-only dog. Big Ed has been doing well ignoring the cats in his foster home and seems like he could do well living with dog-savvy cats in his new home with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Big Ed could be a great addition to a home with kids 10 years or older. Big Ed has been doing well with his housetraining but still tries to mark inside every now and then. He is used to wearing male diapers to decrease his marking. Once his hormone levels decrease from being neutered, his marking behavior should decrease. Big Ed has been doing well being crated when his foster family is gone and at night. He has never been truly alone, so would do best with a family who can slowly acclimate him to being home alone if they don't have a dog buddy for him. Big Ed gets tired more easily and appears like he may benefit from Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome. He will be evaluated for surgery before adoption. Depending on the urgency of his condition, adopters may be responsible for getting him his surgery post-adoption. Big Ed is the bestest boy and he deserves the best home. If you think that might be with you, submit an adoption application today! Big Ed's adoption fee is $500. Apply to adopt here! https://form.jotform.com/52017002013129/ Applications are also available on the website (www.yolospca.org) It can take up to 3-5 business days to hear back once you have submitted an application. The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption. For more information about an animal, please email dogs@yolospca.org. For more general questions, please see our website at www.yolospca.org. August 19, 2024, 1:02 pm
