Meet Walnut! Walnut is an adorable French bulldog. She is timid at first, but once she opens up she is very sweet and loves attention. She loves cuddling and belly rubs. She is not a barker. Walnut is still working on house training – she does her business immediately when she goes to grass or dirt area, but still needs to learn to hold it. Her foster has been working with her and takes her out every 4 hours for potty. She is almost there, but with more consistency and time she will become potty trained. So an ideal family would have a small yard and let her out regularly.
Walnut was rescued from a puppy mill where she was kept in a small cage. Due to malnourishment her teeth are not in the best condition and a lot are worn down. She is able to eat kibbles on her own, but will need dental cleaning in the future.
Walnut is crate trained. She is fine to sleep by herself all night until her foster family wakes up. She snores very loudly so she sleeps in the different bedroom from them ?. Walnut doesn’t like to go for a walk but she’s getting better every day. However, she loves to run and play in the yard! She gets a little mouthy when she is excited (play-bite). Walnut sometimes panicks when she is carried, so would be best in a home with children 10 years and older who understands to be patient and slow with her.
Walnut is OK with cats (unless they approach to her closely). She is best in a home as the only dog, but might tolerate small dogs if they are quiet and submissive and with slow intro. So far she learned “sit” (only when she sees her favorite snack?) and “come”. We are looking for a home who understands the responsibilities of owning and raising a dog as a member of their family. Walnut is patiently waiting!
