About Vicki

Meet Vicki, a playful almost five-year-old French Bulldog in Crozet, VA. She has a striking blue and tan coat and a curious personality that makes her an affectionate little companion. At 23 pounds, Vicki is a bundle of joy who loves being near her people, always ready to follow them around or curl up for cuddles. She's independent but enjoys the company too, with a knack for exploring every nook and cranny of your home. Vicki delights in leisurely walks, soaking up the sun, and gnawing on her favorite Benebones and Kong toys. She's house-trained, crate-trained, and responds to commands like "sit" and "come." However, she benefits from positive reinforcement to refine her skills. Vicki thrives in a calm environment with a fenced yard; daily walks and plenty of chew toys are essential. This sweet girl deals with separation anxiety, so she prefers someone who can be around most of the day. When left alone, she requires crating for her own safety and to avoid anxious chewing. Vicki generally enjoys the company of other dogs—she currently has a good bond with a Golden Retriever—but introductions to new dogs need to be gradual. A cat-free home is a must, and she’ll do well with respectful school-age children. Vicki has had one recorded bite incident that only required a bandage, making it vital for her new family to be attentive and experienced. She’s spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and in good health. With a little consistency and understanding, Vicki can fill her new home with sunshine, snuggles, and delightful Frenchie antics. Could this curious cuddlebug be your next cherished companion?
