Vista

Adopted!
New Name: Valkyrie “Val”
Age: Adult
Sex: Female
Breed: French Bulldog
Weight: 20lbs
Current Location: New Orleans, LA
Adoption Date: April 21, 2026
Adopted by: Dawn Taylor
Latest Update:

Hasta la VISTA, baby!

Vista—now Valkyrie “Val”—has officially headed off to her new home in New Orleans, where she’ll be joining Dawn Taylor, Brutus the Frenchie, Thor the Pug, and Luci (short for Lucifer) the cat.

When adopters travel to pick up their pups, we always appreciate when they arrive with a thoughtful game plan. Not every transition is seamless, and a little preparation goes a long way. After a long drive and arriving to an excited home full of barking dogs, Val was understandably a bit nervous. To help her settle in, she’ll spend her first night in Dawn’s room behind a dog gate—giving her a calm, low‑pressure way to meet her new furry siblings.

We expect it won’t take long before she’s racing around the fenced yard, playing and exploring with the rest of the crew.

Happy life, Val! We’re sure your adventures will be popping up on Happy Tails very soon.

About Vista:

4/9/26 Pupdate:

Vista has had a terrible life, we rescued her from a backyard breeder who was discarding her, and two others. Way out in the boondocks off a dirt trail is where Ricky went to pick them up. She was missing an eye, skinny, and sick with heart worms, and its taken quite a while to get her healthy. Her eye opening had a gaping hole there to collect whatever yuck might fall in it so we just took her to surgery to close it up. She is scarred and struggles for anyone to notice her, a sweet girl that loves affection and someone would be lucky to have her.
But for such a terrible start in life, they tell me that she has a personality that is contagious.  Always excited to see you, not afraid to ask for attention that she will happily take all day long.  She follows just a step behind and if not getting a pet, she will happily take a toy to occupy her.  She gets along wonderfully with the other dogs, eats well and only occasionally messes her den at night.
Would you please share vista so we can find her a home?

Ricky drove to the boondocks to pick up these dogs discarded from a backyard breeder. Ricky said it had to be the most remote place he has traveled. Way out in east Texas he traveled down a dirt road for 2 miles at 8 miles per hour that required 4 wheel drive, these 3 lucky dogs didn’t know that their life had forever changed.
The chocolate Tri-colored Frenchie is a male we shall call him Gallant, the little girl with one eye we shall call her Vista. The long haired Chi Chi was gotten rid of because ” she couldn’t get her pregnant” their words not mine.
We shall call her Topsy, we sent her to foster with Jenn because she’s small and needs to be in a home.
We welcome all three to their new lives…
