Meet Elroy

Okay, push the button to call the dog…

Yup, that big old head on a pretty impressive set of springs is  our own Elroy. He has brains, looks, youth, personality…darn, I wish I were Elroy!  This boy is FANTASTIC!   He is the life of the party, always grinning and wagging his tail. He just wants to have a good time, and eat, of course! Since he was never allowed to be a puppy, he is making up for lost time now, mouthing and exploring everything in the house, just to see what it is all about.

Our boy, Elroy came to the French Bulldog Village, scared and shy, from a commercial breeder in Missouri. He was supposed to be a stud dog, but his career was cut short when it turned out he was shooting blanks! (We haven’t told him yet… shh.)

Elroy gets along great with other dogs. He likes cats.  He’s in excellent health since surgery to trim his soft palate and widen his nares (nostrils).  An overlong soft palate and too tight nostrils are  congenital conditions common to many French Bulldogs.  Elroy came through surgery like a champ. He has no other known health issues and is just a big beautiful boy.

Like a true Frenchie, he has a goofy streak and has been known to jump up and down like he is on a pogo stick.  Elroy has had limited interaction with people, so he does not sit and let himself be petted much. He certainly has not been a snuggly Fbbbog.  However, he is very friendly, and with more time, we hope he will get more affectionate and cuddly!   Elroy gets along well with children. And all of this has been accomplished in a few short weeks with his foster mom in Texas! With a stable forever home and a loving family, Elroy is likely to continue blossoming into a love bug.

There’s still some work to do in the housebreaking department, but this smart boy should catch on quickly with some patience and consistency. He sleeps and eats in his crate, and is happy to do so. We don't think he could  be trusted just yet to roam free at night!

His foster mom had some very specific requirements for Elroy's perfect home... "I envision a home with people that are patient and fun! Children are fine, as long as they are over 3 or 4 years old. Elroy can be a bit clumsy! Another dog would be fantastic for Elroy, as he LOVES other dogs. But, only one dog.  He needs to bond with his new owners, and Elroy can get fixated on the canines too much, ignoring the hand that feeds him!! His new family needs to be committed to his emotional development and bonding with people - that means, lots of time interacting and obedience classes. The classes will help Elroy so much with his self-confidence, not to mention his manners. 

 He will need to be walked, as he is a bit energetic (man you should see him jump!) A fenced yard would be ideal, but an apartment would be fine with the proper amount of walks for Elroy. 

 All he really needs is people to understand where he came from, and how to help him get to where he needs to be: a beloved member of a family, and all that he deserves!"
