"DANNY TORRENCE" FRENCH BULLDOG "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance (and often helps take dogs when shelter is overcrowded)

"DANNY TORRENCE"Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption $350  Breed: French Bulldog

"DANNY TORRENCE plus videos neutered male 

6 yrs 25 lb  Housetrained: Yes

Ok with Dogs Yes...Cats Yes...Kids  Yes

Personality: Affectionate, Brave, Curious, Friendly, Funny, Gentle, Loves Kisses, Playful

adoption application

 


Danny Torrance, our 6 year old 25 pound French Bulldog, does not have any psychic or telepathic abilities (that we know of). We have never heard him talking to anyone named "Tony". But when we asked Danny what kind of home he's looking for, he did say that he'll live anywhere except the Overlook Hotel.

Found stray, Danny's skin and ears were in rough shape. We suspect Danny has allergies; a common finding with Frenchies. Now that Danny is on a hypoallergenic diet, he's looking and feeling great. We also have Danny on a medication for environmental allergies called Numelvi. This should run about $45 a month.

Danny is outrageously gregarious. He loves all living creatures and is persistent in his attempts at friendship. Danny is up for anything. He loves walks, is great on a bar patio, and is happy to ride in a car. At home, Danny is crate trained and puts himself to bed every night. He is potty trained and not destructive. Danny loves collecting toys and is good at self-entertainment. He'll often bring toys for approval to his people before he goes back to tossing them around. Danny wakes up happy and is an instant mood booster.

Danny doesn't love being alone (who can blame him. Between the twins and the lady in the bathtub...). He'll need to work on some independence, but for now, he'd likely do best with someone who is home often or can take Danny to work. Because Danny will scream like a goat when he's lonely, we don't recommend thin walls in his future home.

Danny is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. We'll send his adopter with food and medication to get started.

Have you been suffering from all work and no play? Before you go losing your mind, may we suggest adopting the world's nicest Frenchie?

"MAUI" *TINY senior TERRIER MIX *brave* "STUMPTOWN STRAYS

 

Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance (and often helps take dogs when shelter is overcrowded)

"MAUI" Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption $350  Breed: French Bulldog

MAUI spayed female   12 yr 8 lb

 Housetrained: Yes

Ok with Dogs Yes...Cats Yes...Kids  Yes

Personality: Affectionate, Dignified, Friendly 

adoption application

 

Maui, our 8 pound 12 year old terrier mix, is about as brave as they come. She's happily walked up to dogs 5 times her size and is sure every person she sees is a future friend. We've had a great time getting to know this courageous little lady; and now we're excited to find her a retirement home.

Maui ended up at the shelter when her person died. There, she quickly charmed everyone with her sweet disposition. We took Maui in to take care of her teeth; Maui's mouth was a mess. She's recovered from her dental now and is much more comfortable.

Like a lot of small dogs, Maui has a heart murmur. We evaluated her heart with a blood test which came back normal. This means, at this point, Maui does not have significant heart disease and does not require treatment. Like many older dogs, Maui also has a little arthritis. She does well on a daily anti-inflammatory and we recommend this be continued.

At home, Maui is great with other dogs and with cats. She is not destructive and is potty trained (with a few initial accidents). Maui loves walks and is perfect on her leash - she never pulls or barks. She is happiest curled up on the couch with her person, or, preferably, on their lap. Maui struggles with being left alone. We started her on fluoxetine (Prozac) to help her overcome this anxiety and it's already helping. Maui would prefer to live with someone who is home a lot or can take her to work with them.

Maui is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. She's had normal senior blood work.

Do you have room on your lap for Maui?

"FRANKLIN" 10 lb CHIWEENIE MIX *Special Needs* "STUMPTOWN STRAYS"

 

Stumptown Strays" is a wonderful local Rescue that helps shelter dogs in need of medical assistance (and often helps take dogs when shelter is overcrowded)

"FRANKLIN" Available for adoption with STUMPTOWN STRAYS

Adoption $200  Breed: Chiweenie mix

neutered male 2 yrs 10 lbs  Housetrained: no

Ok with Dogs Yes...Cats unknown...Kids  unknown

Personality: Affectionate, Brave, Curious, Friendly

adoption application

 

 

Franklin, our 2 year old 10 pound Chiweenie mix, is a party animal. He loves nothing more than running around and playing chase. Now that he's finally got his own wheels, Franklin does a stellar keeping up with his friends! Now to work on navigating those tight turns...

Franklin was taken to the shelter after he'd been hit by a car. He sustained a bad fracture to his spine and a head injury. Although it was touch and go for a bit, Franklin made it clear that he wasn't ready to give up. We took him in to give him a chance at a forever home.

We had Franklin evaluated by a neurologist who assured us that Franklin is comfortable. He will likely never fully regain nerve function to his back end, but our little guy is figuring it out. Not having nerve function means that Franklin drags his back feet. It also means he has no control over his bladder or colon. So, at home, Franklin wears a diaper. His foster family says he's otherwise easy to care for and easy to keep clean.

Thanks to our friends at Amicus Animal Rehab, Franklin was fitted with a custom wheelchair. He's currently getting rehabilitation to work on his strength and to get a little better at driving. Franklin loves his new freedom. Out and about, Franklin is an excellent bar and patio dog. He's happy to relax in a sling and is eager to make new friends. Franklin really likes other dogs his size. Big dogs make him nervous. He also likes to chase cats, but obviously has a hard time catching up with them.

Franklin is working on being alone. He prefers to be with someone most of the time. As he does need diaper changes throughout the day, Franklin's ideal adopter would work from home or would be able to take Franklin to work. He's a very good boy sitting under someone's desk.

Franklin is heartworm negative and is current on his preventatives.

A new dog AND a new car all in one? What a deal.
