Meet Bingo 🐾Bingo is a sweet, sensitive boy who just needs the right environment to truly thrive. When he first came to us, he was very scared and defensive, but with time, patience, and love, he quickly bonded with our family and showed his true personality. He has been especially gentle and affectionate with our youngest, who was only a few months old when Bingo joined our home. Now, at a year and a half, our toddler and Bingo share a beautiful bond—he is patient, playful, and incredibly careful around him. While he enjoys roughhousing with adults, he naturally adjusts his energy around little ones. Bingo loves companionship and does best when he’s not alone. He enjoys being close to his people and especially bonded with our older dog—he truly thrives with a canine companion by his side. He’s also a smart boy who responds well to positive reinforcement. He quickly learned household boundaries like staying out of the kitchen and dining area during meals, especially when rewarded with treats and consistency. With people he knows, Bingo is very loving and friendly. With new people, he may take a little time to warm up. He can be reactive at first due to his past, but once he feels safe and understands he’s not in danger, his affectionate and loyal nature shines through. Ideal Home: Bingo would do best in a calm, patient home that can give him consistency, time, and continued training. A home with another friendly dog and people who understand or are willing to work with protective dogs would be ideal. He has so much love to give and just needs someone willing to help him feel safe and secure. He is interested in a family with bulldog experience. This breed CAN NOT be left outdoors due to the the special care required with their "pushed in" faces, and unusual structure. They can overheat very quickly. Frenchies can come with some health issues as they get older. Pet Insurance is a must for this breed. More will be known about me soon.
