Kelly runs an amazing, ethical, caring, and empathetic organization that does a ton of good. I’ve had two different Foster’s, and both went on to amazing, loving homes.
I have 2 foster fails from this rescue. Best decision of my life, they remind me to be grateful daily ♡♡
I have been lucky enough to be able to foster three dogs through RMFBR. They have provided incredible support to the pups and myself. Through helping these frenchies, I have personally seen the miracles they are able to make. I love RMFBR so much!!
This rescue is great! They are committed to helping French bulldogs with special needs and everything in between. The team of fosters and community community members involved big and small are wonderful!
I reached out to RMFBR when I saw a dog advertised as an urgent giveaway online. I was suspicious that the dog was stolen or in danger, and they helped acquire her safely, researched her history, and checked her out with the wonderful vet Vista, and also were diligent in ensuring that she went to a good home that they checked on in person. A very happy ending for this dog that could have been otherwise, due to her age and issues.
We've work with RMFBR for over a year. They are organized and responsive to the needs of the dogs and fosters. It's a helpful network of fosters that stay in touch and support each other. The work they do for these unique little creatures is amazing. We've had such a wonderful experience and will continue to be part of the team.
RMFBR has taken in some of the most medically challenged French Bulldogs. Often ones that other rescues turn down. I am forever grateful for the dedication and love for the breed. They have given many dogs a second chance when others would have euthanized.
RMFBR is one of the best rescues for frenchies. They are always going above and beyond for these babies
Owner/founder of this charity (Ms. Money) goes on Facebook and insults people, example she goes on news pages and says things like Ok Boomer (which is a trending insult to baby boomers). As a boomer why should I contribute my hard earned retirement money or assist a non-profit that does not appreciate a large group of the population. Boomers are big contributors to non-profits.
We adopted Rambo in 2015 from RMFBR. We did not know much about his past, as he was surrendered anonymously. What we did know, was that he clearly had been abused. He was aggressive to males, and highly aggressive to other dogs. This boy deserves love just like anyone else, so we got him some training and he eventually grew to be comfortable in a home full of boys. Rambo is the happiest dog ever, and we are so grateful to Kelly at RMFBR for bringing Rambo into our lives, and for taking him in when he needed it most!
I'm a trainer and I'll never forget the first case I got asked to take on for RMFBR. The rescue sent me the file of a dog at a local shelter and asked me if I thought it was a case we could work with. The dog was described as very aggressive in multiple ways. This made him unadoptable at the shelter and other rescues didnt want to take on such a risk. But when I said we could work with him, RMFBR took him and put him in a foster. When I went for my first session with him and his fosters, I was greeted by a happy, friendly, goofy dog and the fosters hadn't seen any issues. Overtime, he did show some very mild issues, but he was super trainable and overcame that too. He was ultimately adopted by his fosters.
If it werent for this amazing rescue who was willing to take a chance on this misunderstood dog, this amazing little guy probably wouldn't be here today.
I foster for RMFBR. When I first read the story about Calvin it broke my heart. So I stepped in and fostered him until he found his furever home. He was very unsure at first of course! We loved him as our own until he was adopted by a great family! Now we have another foster from RMFBR named Bug. It’s a very rewarding experience to watch them go from being unsure and sometimes scared. We watch them gain their confidence. We need more special need rescues just like RMFBR.
I’m the proud dog mom of Luna. She is a RMFBR alum. I knew I wanted a frenchie but was adamant that I didn’t want to buy a mill puppy. I knew that I wanted to rescue but also that I wanted a frenchie. With their big personalities and couch dog like tendencies, I had been looking at rescues for months. In the process o accidentally adopted a special needs kitten and decided to wait until he was old enough to hold his own against a dog. About 3 months later, I happened across a post from RMFBR in my Facebook feed. This adorable pied frenchie holding her favorite toy in her mouth looking expectantly over the edge of the couch. I instantly fell in love. I stopped and read the post carefully. “Urgent foster needed!”. I looked through the profile and realized that this gorgeous girl was Luna, a 3 yr old frenchie girl who was good with everyone and everything. Including cats. She was perfect. As I kept reading I read that she was paraplegic and incontinent and would need some special love. I had already fallen in love so I immediately emailed the rescue and filled out the paperwork. Within two days, she arrived from Virginia. Kelly and o met for the first time and we talked about what it would mean to foster a paralyzed frenchie.
Within two days of Luna’s arrival, I knew she was the pup I’d been looking for. Sweet as can be and full of joy and energy. She’s been my best girl ever since. That was more than 3 years ago. Since then we’ve gotten her a fancy cart to help keep her legs moving and getting exercise. She’s gone viral a few times with the video about her new cart.
A few months ago, we welcomed Dozer, a 2 year old frenchie, in as a foster. He and Luna played often and he was a sweet and VERY energetic boy. They almost matched in their markings. We loved on him for a little over a month and then we found him a forever home with a lovely young couple here in Denver. He is very well loved and taken care of there. He was such a joy to have and knowing that he is getting so much love and attention and that we found him the right home was the most overwhelming experience. We struggled at first with some training and Kelly helped find a trainer who came to my home and worried with us. We saw an instant change on his behavior. Such a doll.
Currently, our house is the temporary home to Bruno. Bruno is a 7 year old former breeding dog. He spent most of his life (from what we know) in some sort of a cage. Beyond all reason, he is one of the sweetest most loving dogs I’ve ever met. He just wants all of your attention and love. He is attached to me, absolutely everywhere I go. While we are currently working on sorting his medical issues, he is going to be a really special dog for some lucky person or family. In the process of his many vet visits, RMFBR has found the most amazing vet and she has been in contact making sure everything works for both Bruno and myself.
This rescue gave me my best friend. And then showed me that I could do more by helping out with fostering. I’ve volunteered at events to educate people about what it means to be owned by a frenchie and what their special needs are. She has turned me into an advocate of proper breed education. Honestly, even my own mother has said, I’m more understanding, patient and mature person thanks to my adopting Luna.
Thank you Kelly for all you do and for making my life so much better having met you.
