About Vicki

Meet Vicki! This playful, nearly five-year-old French Bulldog is currently located in Amherst, MA. With her stunning blue and tan coat and an affectionate nature, Vicki is a wonderful companion. Weighing just 23 pounds, she packs a lot of personality into a small frame. Vicki loves to stay close to her favorite people, whether that involves following them around, curling up for a cozy cuddle, or being the ever-watchful supervisor of daily activities. However, she also appreciates her independence—no closet remains unexplored with her around! Vicki enjoys leisurely walks, sunbathing, and chewing on her beloved Benebones and Kong toys. She is house-trained, crate-trained, and has mastered commands like "sit" and "come." With some positive reinforcement and patience, Vicki can continue to enhance her skills. This sweet girl thrives in a calm, structured environment with a fenced yard and daily walks. She experiences separation anxiety, so it's crucial for her to have someone around most of the day—preferably not alone for more than three hours. When she's alone, crating her is essential to prevent chewing. She also tends to chew her paws when stressed or in crowded settings. While Vicki enjoys canine companionship, she can be particular and assertive during playtime. She has a special bond with a Golden Retriever, but introductions to new dogs should be slow and supervised. A cat-free home is a must, and she may do well with calm, respectful school-age children. Vicki has had one bite incident that required only a bandage, making it all the more important that her new owner is attentive and understands her boundaries. She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, with no known medical issues. With understanding, consistency, and plenty of love, Vicki can bring joy and laughter into her new home.
