Meet Milkshake & Franny: Our Dynamic Senior!
Meet Milkshake & Franny:
The Dynamic Frenchie Duo
Two senior French Bulldogs, full of spunk, love, and mischief, are looking for their forever retirement home together.
- Milkshake – 12 years old, tan French Bulldog, spayed female
- Franny – 10 years old, brindle French Bulldog, spayed female
These two ladies have lived together since they were puppies and are truly inseparable best friends. They came into our care after their loving owner could no longer keep them when moving overseas. Now, they’re ready for the next chapter of their lives—a long-term foster or foster-to-adopt home where they can stay together, loved and cared for.
Their Medical Journey
Both girls are fully updated on vaccines, dewormed, and on Bravecto for flea/tick prevention. But senior Frenchies often come with their own set of health needs:
- Milkshake
- Recently had a dental procedure, losing 7 teeth (only 5 teeth remain).
- Required urgent veterinary care to flush 2 lbs of rocks from her stomach. Milkshake suffers from PICA, meaning she compulsively eats rocks and must be muzzled whenever outdoors.
- She is hard of hearing and prone to inner ear infections, which we’ve been treating since her arrival.
- Despite her challenges, Milkshake has the sweetest nature and loves all dogs.
- Franny
- Has 12 teeth remaining after multiple dental extractions.
- Suffers from skin allergies and recurring ear infections—we’re actively managing these and expect improvement with consistent care.
- On pain management for arthritis and joint issues.
- She can be a little intense at mealtime (“Cujo” mode), so she may need to be fed separately in her new home.
Both ladies are on pain management for arthritis, require regular vet care, medicated baths, and a proper special diet to keep them comfortable and happy.
Home Requirements
- House with fenced yard (not apartment/condo): These girls bark and need easy, frequent access outdoors.
- Minimal stairs: They can do them, but prefer less.
- Regular potty breaks: Senior bladders aren’t what they used to be. They do fine for a few hours alone, but need reliable outdoor breaks.
- Dog-savvy household: They do best with a younger, balanced dog that can keep up with their playful antics.
- Older, respectful children: Great with kids who understand boundaries, especially during naps.
- Muzzle commitment for Milkshake: She must be muzzled outside, always, to prevent rock-eating incidents.
Personality & Bond
- Best Friends for Life: Franny is deeply attached to Milkshake. They are happiest side by side, playing or snoozing.
- Playful: Don’t let their age fool you—these girls love to play together and will keep you laughing with their antics.
- Food Motivated: Especially Franny, who may need a little structure around mealtime.
- Snuggle Experts: Both love to curl up with their people and with each other.
- Adaptable: They do well with other dogs when properly introduced and truly enjoy canine company.
Why Milkshake & Franny?
These two may be seniors, but they have plenty of love and laughter to give. They are not “easy” Frenchies—between medical needs, PICA management, and some sassy mealtime behavior, they’ll require a dedicated, bulldog-experienced home.
But in return? You’ll get two snuggly, funny, loyal little ladies who will fill your home with joy. Their bond is inspiring, their resilience is admirable, and their personalities shine through every challenge.
