NALA & BOOTS

FEMALE/MALE – FRENCH BULLDOG – BORN 2019/2000 – AT SHELTER SINCE APR 2025

Meet Nala & Boots!
This adorable duo of French Bulldogs joined the Dogs and Cats Forever family in April 2025 and have been stealing hearts ever since. Nala and Boots are two peas in a pod—always together, always curious, and always ready for a snuggle.

These little explorers love checking out new things, but their favorite activities include short strolls (especially if it’s not too hot!) and cozying up indoors where they can indulge their true calling: professional couch potatoes.

While they’ve been close companions, Nala and Boots are also independent enough to thrive on their own. They’d love to be adopted together but can go to separate homes if the fit is right. Either way, you’re in for a whole lot of Frenchie love!

With patience and love, Tyrome is sure to become a loyal and adventurous companion. Come meet this little sweetheart and see if he’s the one for you.

Despite everything, Henessy remains a total sweetheart. He loves short walks where he can take his time sniffing around and taking care of business—he’s fully housebroken and insists on doing things the right way. He walks wonderfully on a leash and is happiest when he’s cuddled up next to someone he trusts.

Henessy is very people-oriented and enjoys being petted and simply spending time by your side. He previously lived with another dog and appears to be calm and non-reactive around other dogs.

What Henessy longs for most is a quiet, loving home where he can relax, be adored, and finally feel safe. Could you be the one to open your heart and give this deserving senior the forever home he’s waited a lifetime for?
