Porkchop was left at a shelter by someone who found her wandering. Based on her condition, we think that she may have been a breeding dog. But those days are behind her now and this sweet girl is looking for a forever home.

Porkchop does well with dogs her size after slow introductions. She is not one for the dog park as she needs time to learn her place in the pack. Porkchop sees smaller animals (dogs, cats, you name it) as prey, so she will need to be kept on a leash or in a fenced yard to keep her safe and contained. She will not be placed in homes with cats or other small pets, like hamsters or rabbits! Porkchop doesn’t complain when she is gated into her own room or is placed in a crate.

After the introductions are over, Porkchop loves to wrestle with her foster siblings. She especially loves Nylabones and antlers! Any adopters should keep her well-supplied with these, because they are the only toys Porkchop really likes. She loves to get attention from her humans. We believe that Porkchop would love to be the princess who gets to sleep in the bed and generally be the #1 dog. She deserves to be pampered! She especially loves to be daddy’s girl, and while she is fine with her foster mom, it’s really all about her foster dad when he is around. She could live in any sort of house or apartment. She’d love to be around people all the time at home or in the office, but she could easily get by with a mid-day potty break from a dog walker.

Her foster dad has enjoyed this sweet girl. “Porkchop is a real lover of her humans. It is clear to us that Porkchop would love a forever family of her own where she can be the #1 princess. Porkchop would love to sleep in the bed with her humans (you should see how happy she is when she makes it up there). She does like her foster siblings and loves to wrastle, as many Frenchies do. While she does this and has a good time while doing it, I'm not sure she has to have it...she would likely have just as much fun laying on the couch with her humans having her belly rubbed.

"Porkchop is really a very well behaved and loving girl. She will make a loving family a great pet. While her skin & coat don't yet look 100%, they are well on their way. She needs somebody who can look past a little bit of missing fur to see the incredible dog underneath. 

"Regarding her coat, Porkchop had demodectic mange, which was successfully treated, and she is now free of it. This is not a contagious condition, but happens to some dogs when their immune system is stressed. She is healthy, housebroken, and ready to play! Porkchop's coat has shown great improvement and should continue to improve.”

If you have it in your heart to make a fairy tale ending happen for Porkchop, be prepared to come to the magical land of Texas. She will not be shipped. 

FBRN does not ship dogs as cargo. Except in rare or unusual cases, adopters are expected to pick up their dogs from their foster family. In rare or unusual cases, FBRN may be able to assist in transporting a dog to a volunteer near the adopter's home, but the expense of transporting the dog must be the responsibility of the adopting party.
