Oogie Boogie’s Story

Oogie Boogie found his way into SNAFU via a breeder release. His breeder wanted him to be placed in a loving pet home to be spoiled, loved, and live out his life as a cherished pet!

Oogie Boogie is an active, playful, bouncy, extremely curious, social, and super-friendly French Bulldog.  He can be bashful at times when meeting new people.  Oogie is unsure of new environments but quickly warms up to new people and places after he can properly scope it out.  He enjoys romping around the house and exploring every inch of his surroundings.  Oogie is obsessed with snuggling his human and will only pause his snuggle session if his favorite Nylabone is available for a quick nibble. Oogie must be supervised at all times while outside and inside as he is a young dog still learning the ropes of pet life and doesn’t know danger.  He has an affinity for the warmer outdoors and often requests time outside to take in all the smells.  Most of his outdoor time is spent just exploring every inch of his fenced yard.  After a romp around the yard with his furry friends, Oogie will always look for his people to partake in a cuddle session during his much-needed snooze.  He truly just wants to be with his people all the time as he finds comfort in their presence.  After a much-needed puppy nap, he is off to circling the house following his foster sibling around and mimicking all their behaviors.  He would thrive in a home with another dog so that he could emulate their behaviors and continue to show him the ropes of pet life.  Oogie has an overall fun disposition which allows him to get along with his furry foster sibling.  He has a very kind temperament which is favorable when he is around other dogs although he can be an attention hog especially when it comes to human attention!  He has yet to meet any human, big or small, that he hasn’t fallen head over paws for.  He can be shy at first, but after the shyness wears off and the humans gain his trust, Oogie is off flirting his way into their hearts.  Because of his lighthearted disposition, we feel Oogie will do perfectly well with other balanced dogs and with dog-savvy, gentle, respectful children of any age.  We also feel Oogie would thrive in a multi-dog household as he emulates other dog behaviors and picks up quickly on what is expected in the home and proper dog manners but would equally be okay as only a pet as he would enjoy all the attention just on him.  Slow introductions to other dogs and children in the household are a must and he should always be supervised to make sure both he and they are kept safe.

Oogie Boogie is still working on potty training and his accidents are becoming fewer and further between; his foster family reports his about 90% potty trained. He does copy the resident dog’s outside habits and has made great improvements!  As with all of our dogs, any adopter will need to be patient and willing to continue working on his potty training success as he acclimates to his new home and surroundings. Oogie needs a consistent outside routine and a signal for potty.  He is 100% crate trained and does not have any accidents while crated.  He sleeps in his crate when his foster family happens to be away from the home as he has a comfy blanket and a furry friend to keep him company.  Oogie sleeps in his crate in the evening but since this snuggle bug doesn’t like to be far from his humans and is a pawfect cuddler, we know he would much rather share a bed and offer many cuddles with his new family! 

Medically, Oogie Boogie is in great health!  He has been neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, had both hind legs luxating patella’s successfully repaired, cherry eye repaired, updated on vaccinations/dewormings, and has been given a clean bill of health by our veterinarian!

Oogie Boogie would do great in any type of home!  Since he does love to explore the yard and is still learning what can be a danger to him, a house with a completely closed fenced yard will be preferred for him (as opposed to a multiple-floor apartment-style dwelling).  He has mastered the stairs, so a multi-level home would be okay for him.  Since Oogie is quite a people’s French Bulldog, we think he would love to eventually go to work with his new family if they wanted to take him with them to the office.  He needs some basic training (and to be fully potty trained too) before entering the workspace but with some consistent work, he would do just fine!  If his people are not able to take him to work with them, no problem at all – he’s completely happy sleeping the day away and would greatly benefit from a part-time work-from-home or stay-at-home parent.  During his time alone he would do great as long as he has a furry companion, a warm soft blanket, a safe chew toy, and if his people can arrange for a potty break for him (if gone for more than just a few hours)!  Oogie is a little snuggle bug looking for a home that has a family to dote on him, another dog to help gain his confidence, one he can be included in most family outdoor activities, and can offer him lots of love and attention (and patience to master potty training). He is looking for his very best friend!
