Can I submit the form if I do not have every detail yet?

Yes. You can submit with core details first and add more information later so we can start triage quickly.

What information helps the rescue team assess my Frenchie faster?

The most useful details are your Frenchie's age, sex, sterilisation status, any breathing, skin or mobility issues, how urgent the handover is, and whether your dog is comfortable with children, dogs or cats.

Surrender a French Bulldog South Africa

Rehoming your French Bulldog, handled with care and discretion

Life changes. A move overseas, a new baby, a demanding new role, or a Frenchie whose needs have outgrown your household. Whatever the reason, we help you find the right next home for your dog, privately and properly.

Discreet. Your name and contact details are never published.

Considered. Every adopter is screened before they meet your dog.

Breed-aware. We understand Frenchie health, from breathing to skin and spine.

How it works

1. Tell us about your Frenchie

A short, private enquiry. It takes about three minutes, and nothing is shared publicly.

2. A personal conversation

A member of our team contacts you to talk through your dog's personality, health and routine, and your timeline.

3. The right home, not the first home

We match your Frenchie with a screened adopter who suits their personality, health and routine.
