Stolen Bulldog Puppy in Edmonton and KCee Needs a Miracle

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Note: this post has TWO great updates, via comments. KCee is now in the care of American Boston Terrier Rescue in North Texas. ABTR is going to get Kcee her surgery! In even more exciting news, Princess is HOME! She was apparently turned in to Edmonton Animal Services, and has been returned to her owners. More news as I get it!

In Austin, Texas little KCee needs a Miracle

In Austin, Texas little KCee needs a Miracle

Poor little KCee is just 18 – 20 months old.

The person who has her found her as a stray at a car dealership near Austin TX a year ago. The dog needs knee surgery (estimate – $600), and the owner is on disability, that’s a month’s income. She is looking for someone to take her so that she can have her surgery. Sweet, housebroken, gets on with everyone, dogs, cats, kids, housebroken.

Her owner would love to find a loving home willing to give KCee the care she needs. If that’s you, please email Charlotte Creeley, of the French Bulldog Village, at cccpups@aol.com

Photos of KCee —

Poor little thing. First a stray, and now she’s sick and can’t stay with the only home that’s ever loved her. I hope someone can take her, and give her the life she deserves. She might not officially be a Frenchie, but she’s an honorary one as far as we’re concerned.

If you can’t take her, but think you know of someone who might be able to, please forward this, and feel free to cross post.

Stolen Bulldog puppy, Edmonton Alberta Area

Stolen Bulldog puppy, Edmonton Alberta Area

A terrifying story out of Edmonton, Alberta. Homeowners had their apartment broken into, and along with thousands of dollars worth of electronics and home goods, their twelve week old Bulldog puppy was also taken.

Information from their Kijiji posting on the theft –

November 12 between 7:30 am and 3:00pm my 12 week old purebred english bulldog was stolen from my apartment along with various other items.  The contents of the apartment are unimportant to us.

I am begging anyone with any information to contact me or the police to ensure her safe return.  We don’t care how we get her back and if someone drops her off there will be no questions asked.

She is mainly red with some white on her face and chest.  Her name is princess and her registration tattoo is very visable on her abdomen.

please contact me either by email or phone 780-902-7338 or 780-909-6995.

Any help to locate her would be greatly appreciated.

Help me get the word out.   we have posters up but could use help generating more as this is a big city.  We have broacasted on CBC, Global and CTV as well as a few radio stations,  This puppy is like a baby to my girlfriend and I…

The puppy’s breeder has also posted an ad on Kijiji, with more identifying information on the puppy –

I am looking for any help from anyone who may know any information.  One of my puppies whom I sold to a wonderful couple in edmonton have just had their appartment robbed.  They stole thousands of dollars worth of
stuff plus the female english bulldog puppy they have only had for three weeks.
she is 12wks old is red and white in color.
her entire body is red and she
has a white blaze on her face.
she has a very unique black freckel pattern on her belly.
she is on a special diet and needs to get back home to her owners.
she is tattooed and the robber will probably be looking to sell her quickly.
Please if you suspect any add of maybe having this girl please contact me immediately.
the owners and myself are just devistated from this.
reward offered for her safe return.
contact jody

A gallery of photos of the stolen puppy are below. If you are in the Edmonton area, keep your eyes open for this little girl. If you work at a vet clinic, be on the look out for new clients with a tattooed, red and white Bulldog puppy. Pet supply store employees are another great resource – keep your eyes and ear open, and let’s help to get this little girl home.

FBV’s “We’ll Stop at Nothing!” Fundraiser

Those shameless little monkeys over at the French Bulldog Village are rolling out their big guns for this season’s fund raising efforts.

Here’s their newest fund raiser –

Kimberly's Beautiful Blue French Bulldog Clock

Kimberly's Beautiful Blue French Bulldog Clock


Some of you out there, who happen to be French Bulldog Village volunteers or who visited the FBVillage booth at the 2009 French Bulldog Club of America National Specialty in Massachusetts, are the lucky owners of French Bulldog clocks lovingly hand painted and glazed by our very own FBVillage board member Kimberly Rice in the wee hours of the night when she finally got home from work every night. A real labor of love and some very beautiful clocks.

These clocks were so popular among our volunteers that we had a dreadful time keeping any back in order to have some to sell at the Specialty show!

What you don’t know about is Clock #1. Clock #1 was also lovingly hand painted and glazed by Kimberly Rice. Before she knew what she was doing. She has told me repeatedly that Clock #1 is so incredibly hideous that she will not/cannot show it to ANYONE. Kim Jacoby has seen it and could probably attest to its ugliness, but she has already blanked out the memory from her mind… I asked her, “How ugly exactly is this clock, Kim?” and her response was, “What clock??”

So, I really, really want to see this clock, but several months of browbeating and begging and whining have not produced a picture of Clock #1. Kimberly says it is just too ugly. No pictures. Go away.

Well, I finally convinced her to turn it into a fundraiser. Sort of a hideous silent auction. Here is how it works. We are asking for donations in any amount to PayPal – the donate button is right on the front page of the French Bulldog Village website – AND when we reach $300.00 in donations, the auction will close, and Kimberly will produce a picture of Clock #1, AND she will ship it at no additional cost to the highest donor. Unless of course, the person, upon seeing Clock #1, says, um, er, oh my, no thanks! Alternately, we can mail it to your dearest friend in your name… Or, we can mail it to the next highest lucky donor on our list. And so on, until someone agrees to take Clock #1 and give it a home. Poor Clock #1, her own mommy doesn’t love her.

Kimberly is being very brave about this. And I HAVE to see this clock. Please donate!

Charlotte Creeley, Esq.

Please support the FBVillage…

Here’s a PayPal button link, to allow you to bid (HIGH and OFTEN) on the mystery clock.




Remember, every single dollar benefits the K Kids and the other French Bulldogs and French Bulldog mixes that the French Bulldog Village assists. FBV is the last resort for the French Bulldogs that other rescues turn down – please don’t make FBV have to start turning down Frenchies for lack of funds.

A gallery of the beautiful clocks Kimberly has designed – remember, no one gets to see Clock #1 until the auction is OVER! We’ll be unveiling it right here, as soon as FBV unleashes it on the world.

Sammy Needs a Home for the Holidays

Sammy the senior pug needs a home

Sammy the senior pug needs a home

Anyone who has ever owned and loved a senior dog can tell you how special they are. No, they don’t have the bounciness of puppies – but they have a calm serenity that more than makes up for it.

They make wonderful bed buddies, couch companions and short walk pals. They ask for a few head scratches, a warm spot on the couch, a kind word now and then. They are content to simply be with you – they don’t need to be entertained, or kept engaged by ten mile walks. An outing in the car, or a short walk through town, and your senior canine companion is tired out and pleased.

If you’re ready to share your life with a dog who will ask for little, and bring so much, then maybe you’re the right home for Sammy.

From PetFinder –

Sammy the pug has a lot of love to give!

Sammy the pug has a lot of love to give!

Sammy has had a wonderful life. He’s been with his current family since he was just eight weeks old. In fact, he and the young daughter in the family are the same age and shared the same stroller when they were both much younger!

That was a long time ago. Now, Sammy is 13, and blind, and maybe not quite so bouncy as he used to be, although for an elderly dog, he does very well. He comes when he is called, although he may bump into a few walls along his path, he can sit and down and bark on command. He loves to be in the middle of things, and he loves to eat. He doesn’t even mind if you grab him without any warning. He’s lived with kids all of his life, so he’s used to that. He can walk on a leash, although new places tend to frighten him. He likes visitors. Did I mention that he loves to eat?

Sammy’s family moved into their current apartment just two months ago. They thought that no one would pay attention to their little old blind Pug, but that’s not the way it worked out. Now they are facing eviction if Sammy doesn’t leave. A single working mom with a teenaged daughter doesn’t have many options. Sammy has to find a new home. And he’s got to find it before Thanksgiving. Sammy’s situation is pretty desperate, even though Sammy doesn’t know that.

Do you have space in your home and your heart for Sammy? If you do, please contact Charlotte at 508-588-7968, or send an email to cccpups@aol.com.

He may be old and blind, but he is still stuffed full of all the happiness and love that makes a Pug so special.

Check out Sammy’s YouTube video – look at how happy this guy is! He has a lot of love and enjoyment left to give to the right family. If you think you might be the right home for Sammy, please email Charlotte, at cccpups@aol.com

Sammy also has a sprout – you can post it to Twitter, MySpace, FaceBook or to your blog or website –

Foster French Bulldog Ladoo will be on CP24

Foster French Bulldog Ladoo will be on CP24

News from Gary Brown, Ontario rep for FBRN. Gary and some of the current foster dogs available for adoption will be appearing on CP24.

Here’s more from Gary —

This Friday, October 9th, 2009, French Bulldog Rescue Network’s foster dogs Ladoo and Spicy will be making an appearance on City Pulse 24. They will be on CP24 Breakfast television on cable channel 24 between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. likely more towards the latter but dependent on earlier events, this coming Friday morning.

Happy Face Ladoo

Happy Face Ladoo

Ladoo who is an old pro at this having already been on Animal House Calls is an 8 year old fellow who is looking to be a great companion to a calm, assertive pack leader. Although Ladoo can turn into a pile of mush he likes it to be on his terms and in private moments. Ladoo would not be a good choice with children or other pets but for someone who wants a GREAT companion that is very animated and comical Ladoo is your guy.

Spicy the Foster French Bulldog

Spicy the Foster French Bulldog

Spicy is a 5 yr. old puppymill survivor who is learning to love life and everything it offers her. She is as sweet and gentle as they come but would protect her people or her home with her life. This girl would be a perfect pal for someone who was home all day or could take her to work. Spicy is just about ready to open up the next chapter in her life and begin looking for her forever family and will be appearing shortly on the available page.

Other puppymill survivors from the same mill in Manitoba will also be appearing on the available page in short order and are also in Ontario. They are Styx and Sherlock who can be seen on our foster pages. Another, Sinnamon, is on the available page at the moment and is just across the border from Niagara Falls.

All these dogs can be seen at http://www.frenchbulldogrescue.org/index.html

Make sure to tune in to see Gary and the dogs, and support their rescue efforts in Canada!
