The temperature is rising, and unfortunately, so are the expenses to care for our neediest foster Frenchies!
 Roma was turned over to FBRN after being surrendered at a veterinary clinic at 2 days old, by backyard breeders who could not commit to the tube feeding she required to keep her alive due to her cleft palate (a congenital defect.)
Roma has been so very lucky to have had a wonderful physician as her foster mom in her first days, and an equally amazing foster family, including a nurse, that has cared for her since then. She has required tube feeding in order to avoid any milk or food entering the cleft and sinus cavity. Aspiration and pneumonia are always a worry!
Though some cleft palate puppies suffer from additional birth defects, a recent round of testing has shown that Roma does not have any further problems. Roma has done so well that she has just started to eat solid food, in very small bites that she can swallow whole. She still takes her water through a feeding tube. Soon, with the help of our generous donors, Roma will undergo a costly surgery to repair her cleft palate. This surgery will allow her to live a normal life like every Frenchie should!
Please help us reach our goal to cover the expenses of her surgery. More and more Frenchies are coming in with severe medical problems and we need your help. The dogs and volunteers of FBRN thank you for your kindness and support!

Missing Frenchie ALERT!!
7/21/08
Pooh Bear is a handsome, charming, sweet-tempered Frenchie who wants a family of his own. He bonds closely to his people and adores kids.
He has the looks of a classic French bulldog, and he's healthy and comical and easygoing. He likes car rides, swimming, hanging out with his people and socializing with the neighbors. He's located in the Pacific Northwest, an area of the country that doesn't get a lot of French bulldog surrenders or fosters, so we can't figure out why he hasn't been snatched up by someone from Boise or Seattle or Portland or points in between!
Pooh Bear is waiting patiently for his Christopher Robin to come along and gather him up and make him a part of a family. Every Frenchie deserves a home. Why not read his bio and see if Pooh Bear could be a good fit in your home?
