    At Frenchie Haven, we don't believe adoption is about passing or failing.

    We believe it's about thoughtfully matching each Frenchie with the family where they'll thrive for the rest of their life.

    Our goal isn't simply to complete adoptions.

    Our goal is to build lifelong families.

  • 🏡 CHAPTER TWO

    Every Frenchie deserves a place where they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.Every home is different.Whether you live in a cozy apartment, a townhouse, or a home with a large fenced yard, we're simply looking to understand the environment where your future Frenchie will spend their days.

  • 🏠 About Your Home

  • What type of Home do you live in?*
  • Do you...*
  • Do you anticipate moving within the next year?*
  • Do you have a yard?*
  • If yes, is it fully fenced?

  • ❤️ Frenchie Haven Note

     


    One of the biggest misconceptions in rescue is that every adopter needs a large fenced yard.

    While a fenced yard can certainly be wonderful, it isn't a requirement for every Frenchie.

    Many of our happiest dogs live in apartments and townhomes with families committed to regular walks, enrichment, and quality time together.

    We're looking for the right home—not the biggest one.

  • 🌿 CHAPTER THREE

    Every family has a unique routine, and every Frenchie has a unique personality. This section helps us understand how your future companion will fit into your everyday life.There are no right or wrong answers. We're simply getting to know the rhythm of your home so we can make the best possible match.
  • Which best describes your current schedule?*
  • 🏠 Where will your Frenchie stay while you're away?*
  • Where will your Frenchie sleep
  • How would you describe your household?*
  • If challenges arise, where would you turn for help?*

  •  

    ❤️ Frenchie Haven Note


    Some Frenchies arrive already knowing how to be wonderful companions.

    Others need time, patience, and encouragement to learn that they're finally safe.

    One of the greatest gifts you can give a rescue dog isn't perfection.

    It's patience.
