Gladys - French Bulldog Dog for Adoption in Oakland, California

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereGladys is a 2-year-old, 21-pound French Bulldog mix who found herself at the shelter as a stray. She arrived with severe skin issues, and yet her spirits and good nature prevailed. Time, nutrition and love in her foster home helped her heal and helped us learn more about her.

In her foster home, Gladys plays and cuddles with the two resident large dogs. She’s been gentle when meeting small dogs and children of all ages. She’s working hard on potty training, and does well in an XL crate overnight and when left alone. She’s starting to get more comfortable on leash, especially when her foster siblings are with her on outdoor walks.

Gladys would love patient adopters who can continue caring for her skin, as well as help her build confidence and trust. A confident male dog sibling would be a bonus. Follow her in foster with @oaklandvader on Instagram, and click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
