Penelope

The neglect was significant and prolonged, and it was clear she had gone without even the most basic care. Penelope arrived with a long list of medical issues that needed attention before she could be considered for adoption. And realistically—who volunteers to take on an older dog with allergies, special baths, medications, and ongoing management?

Eliot Meikle and Lindsay Buck, that’s who. And we couldn’t dream up a better home for her!

Eliot works a rotation of six weeks away and six weeks at home, giving him plenty of time with Penelope during his off periods. Lindsay adjusts her travel around his schedule, so Penelope will rarely be without one of her people. Even better, Lindsay has been an LVT for more than 20 years and has extensive experience with Frenchies—they already have five of their own. She also regularly assists rescues with Frenchies. And one of the most fascinating things about Lindsay? She works for the company that oversees animal safety in the movie industry—the “No Animals Were Harmed” program.

Penelope will live in Georgia and we are absolutely thrilled that Penelope will be keeping her name and, more importantly, will never know life inside a cage again. She finally has a family who understands her needs, values her, and is committed to her forever.

That is all.

No more, their popularity has led to this, discarded, mistreated, dumped, and yes even physically abused and tortured by a sick, sick human, may you rest in peace Valor.

It’s exhausting, mentally and emotionally taxing. Day after day, it’s some new Frenchie in a shelter, on the street as a stray, or an owner surrender.

This girl is 8 years old, she lived in a crate, owners were not interested in her and don’t want her anymore. All I know is a person who contacted us said they offered to give the dog to her and she reached out to us to ask if we can take her.

As you can see the neglect is significant, the suffering prolonged, and the lack of any signs of caring about her are absent.

The popularity of the French Bulldog has now come full circle, which happens to literally every breed that becomes the “most popular” and it looks like this.

If you would like to donate to her care, that would be lovely, she is a mess and it will take months to help her, thankfully she isn’t sick with heart worms, I don’t know how, but she isn’t spayed at 8 years old it will be a long time before her skin is healthy enough to cut into to take care of that.

Welcome to Dog Ranch Rescue Penelope, I am sorry you have suffered so long, but someday soon you will be beloved, and sleep in a humans bed and be cherished as you always should have been.

Adoption fee $800
