Rags’s Story

Rags came into the SNAFU Rescue via a breeder release. Her breeder wanted her to be placed in a loving home and spend the rest of her years being a spoiled pet.

Rags is an enthusiastic, active, playful, social, happy, outgoing, and friendly Frenchie girl that can easily and quickly adapt to the mood in the house very well.  She firmly believes that all dogs and humans were made for her to make fast friends with! Rags welcomes new furry friends with a smile and a sniff.  She fancies play time and rolling around with her furry friends.  She enjoys romping around the house and exploring every inch of her surroundings.  Rags has an affinity for the outdoors which is an indication she gets to sun her buns while watching her favorite people!  Rags is all about playtime!  She bounces about when she has a burst of energy and is quick to run all around the yard chasing her foster siblings in hopes one is ready to play! If her furry friends aren’t unavailable for some play, Rags will grab one of her stuffies and shake it all about to amuse herself.  There is not a toy too big or too small that won’t mesmerize her for any period. Rags loves to play with anything that is soft and will squeak or crinkle.  When she decides playtime is over she is ready for a nap.  Rags sure does enjoy a nice long snooze.  She will grab any soft bed, couch, or blanket when she needs a nap! She has it in her to be a lazy couch potato!  Once nap time is over, Rags once again finds her energy and is off to the races!  If her furry playmate isn’t available, she is content to grab her favorite nylabone and nibble away.  She has a major case of FOMO and MUST be involved in all the happenings of the house especially those of her favorite human. Her overall fun, happy disposition allows her to get along famously with her furry foster siblings.  She has a very lovable and docile temperament which is favorable when she is around other dogs.  Rags seems to get along with any dog she has met (big or small) and would thrive with several furry pals to hang around with. She would also do well as an only dog as she loves all the attention and pets to be on her.  She has yet to meet any human that she hasn’t fallen head over paws for.  Because of her lighthearted disposition, we feel she will do perfectly well with other dogs and with dog-savvy, gentle, respectful children of any age.  She has young children in her foster home and is absolutely amazing with them accepting all their gentle affection when it is offered.  We also feel Rags would thrive in a multi-dog household as she emulates other dog behaviors and picks up quickly on what is expected in the home and proper dog manners. If she has her favorite person and an abundance of toys Rags also could do well as an only dog.  She is experiencing a big change and will need some patience and proper direction to help her acclimate to her adoptive home. Slow introductions to other dogs and children in the household are a must and she should always be supervised to make sure both she and they are kept safe.

 Rags is still working on potty training.  Her accidents are becoming fewer and further between but still need some work.  As with all of our dogs, any adopter must be patient and willing to continue working on her potty training success as she acclimates to her new home and surroundings. Rags needs a consistent outside routine and a signal for potty.  She is 100% crate-trained and does not have any accidents in her crate. She lets out the occasional bark when placed in it but quiets in a short time.  She sleeps quietly when her foster family happens to be away from the home and rests her little head on a comfy blanket.  Rags will retreat to her crate when she needs some alone time. We know Rags would enjoy sharing a bed with her adoptive family at night as this little adorable little girl finds comfort in those she trusts and loves most. 

Medically, Rags is in good health!  She has been spayed, nares widened, palate shortened, tonsils removed, had a dental cleaning, microchipped, heartworm tested, updated on vaccinations/dewormings, and has been given the okay to adopt by our veterinarian! Rags does suffer from some seasonal allergies. She would benefit from a daily allergy pill to help keep them at bay and a cytopoint injection during high allergy months. 

Rags would do great in any type of home! She quickly mastered the stairs so a multi-level home would be okay for her (she was petrified at first but she was determined to conquer them). Her legs are a bit short and squatty so she can get tripped up so she must be supervised for her safety.  Even though Rags does not have a prey drive, a fenced yard isn’t required for her but is always preferred for her ongoing safety and desire to run around with her furry friends.  Rags would love to RUN and has a mind of her own and if allowed to bolt, she’d take it!   Rags is quite a people’s Frenchie; we think she would love to go to work with her new family if they wanted to take her with them to the office.  If her people are not able to take her to work with them, no problem at all – she would much rather have a part-time or full-time stay-at-home or work-from-home family member. Rags would thrive in a home where all her family members would be involved in her everyday care and a family that is home more often or willing to have her tag along in most of the family adventures. She is an overall happy, playful soul who thrives with a routine and has adapted to pet life quickly!  She is very eager to please and just wants to be around her family at all times! Rags is super friendly and can be quite the chill pup who loves hard and is an overall sweet-natured girl!
