All About Ilona

Hurry! There’s gonna be a scrum for this playful Frenchie darling! 

Hi, I’m Ilona, and I’m a one-year-old female French Bulldog. Like my namesake (bronze medal winning rugby star), I'm a rough and tumble girl who's always down for an adventure!  I'm a lively tornado and off the field. I’ll playfully maul and tackle my foster fur siblings like the rugby star I am, and then turn around and act all cute and girly. What can I say? I know how to work the crowd! I've recently learned about toys and can't get enough, foster mom has to clean out my kennel and gather then from all over the house and yard.  I like a big playing field! Not only do I collect Olympic medals, but I also love to collect other trinkets and treasures I find around the house!  I took a little longer to pet life with regards to humans but I have learned that there is so much fun to be had when you hang with them!  I hope to finish adjusting in my new home. I guarantee I will keep you entertained and laughing throughout the whole process as I’m quite the silly girl. Do you feel like we could make the perfect team and get a W together? If so, apply today!  I can't wit for a forever family to play with and that will take me on adventures with them!  

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted.  Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above.  Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications.  All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes.  Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters.  Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.

All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages. 

We typically will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks, but we do notify all applicants of the outcome.
