When she could no longer care for Spike, and his companion Lucy, Spike's owner packed the two little dogs up and took them down the road to give them to a neighbor, a professional dog handler who made his living showing dogs, hoping that he would, through his contacts, be able to find this unfortunate little pair new homes.  The dog handler contacted his friend who was a local dog groomer, to ask her for help, and she just happened to be a volunteer for the French Bulldog Village!  Even in his short life, this is not Spike's first change of circumstances.  He had been purchased by his most recent owner from an ad in the local newspaper, and now, just a year later, it was time to move once more.

Fortunately for Spike, he hasn't had to go very far.  This little guy is so charming, with that lovely soulful Frenchie mug guaranteed to melt anyone's heart, he never made it out the door of the local groomer, now his new foster mom.  At first, she  thought he might be deaf,  but she has discovered that he is not deaf after all, just so overwhelmed by his new surroundings and so happy to be around people, he couldn’t focus at all.  Could the boy be a Pug in a Frenchie suit?  Spike is very well mannered, whether he is at home or out in public.   He loves children and is very gentle with them, and we hope in time to place him in a family with children.  Spike apparently has no health issues other than a weak back end, but even that is starting to get stronger as he gets more exercise.   We hope with a little initial care and attention, our Spike will soon be ready for a new home!

We hope that you will consider contributing to the K-Fund so that we can continue to come forward to  help Spike and other French Bulldogs that are displaced due to a change in family circumstances.  If you can lend a hand with a donation in any amount, (every dollar counts!), Spike would REALLY appreciate it!  Just click on the globe, and say it's for Spike!  Thank you!
