Life
just spiraled out of control for this anxious young French Bulldog,
and he retaliated to all of the upsets in his life by attacking the
dogs around him, with disastrous results. Luc, who had once
been a well socialized family companion, who had attended Puppy
Kindergarten and Beginners Obedience classes found himself no longer
welcome in his own home.
His owners turned him over to the
FBVillage, for the sake of their other French Bulldog's safety and
their own peace of mind.
His name is Luc, he used to live in Dade County, Florida, before
moving to his new foster home in Georgia. Luc was a
wonderful pet
until
about eight months ago when his life was upended by the family's move into a new home. Previously, Luc
had got along well with his housemate, another intact male French
Bulldog a year his senior. He also had been able to interact
peaceably with the local dogs at the dog
park that he visited on a regular basis. Whether it was just his
maturing from a footloose puppy into a mature adult male, or whether
it was due to the upset of the move, or perhaps a little bit of
both, problems started soon after the
move. Luc became aggressive, taking toys away from the other French
Bulldog and bullying him in the yard. Nor was his bad
behavior directed only against his housemate. He began challenging
the other dogs at the dog
park, to such a degree that he was finally banned. Even neutering
did not decrease Luc's new and frighteningly aggressive
behavior.
Luc's life spun out of control completely, when his life was once
again upended four months ago, this time by birth of the family's
first baby. Tension between
the two male French Bulldogs escalated into an all out war, and
although Luc was NEVER people aggressive, given his aggression
towards the other dog in their home and towards other dogs as well,
living with him was no longer possible. This young dog, who
never meant his people any harm, finally faced the biggest upset of
all, the loss of his home and his family.
Please help by sponsoring Luc so that we can continue to come
forward to provide training and rehabilitation for dogs like Luc
that may otherwise not even have a chance at any future at all.
Thank you!
