French Bulldog - Selina - Small - Adult - Female - Dog
Selina has escaped from the Foster page and has run right over to the Available page. But thats okay. Shes allowed this escape! Selina was tearfully surrendered by her family due to Selinas severe separation anxiety. This poor girl will move mountains to be with humans and sometimes, those mountains are window blinds and the occasional lamp shade. Hey, they got in her way, so she dealt with them accordingly. Selina is very easy going and kind of a loafer when her humans are home with her. She loves to just be with her people. Her foster mom has never seen Selina play with a toy. She just wants to be by people and hang out or lay beside them. She isnt a huge fan of being picked up but loves to sit by you and just be loved and petted. Shes super sweet with people. Did we mention she just loves to be loved? Selina requires a stable home with a strong leader who is willing to continue to work with her on her insecurity and severe separation anxiety. Someone who either works from home or can take her to work with them and when they leave the house as much as possible would fit her needs. She does need to be the only dog with no other pets in the household. If she goes to work with her human, she must be kept separate from any other dogs that might be in the office. Selina has crate hate and will hurt herself trying to get out of a crate or kennel. She can easily hop over a baby gate and has apparently been taking mountain climbing lessons as her foster mom has witnessed this little girl climbing over a 4 foot chain link fence. She wont try to escape if her human is outside with her, but she can never be left outside unattended. And she'll need a fence higher than 4 feet. We believe Selina has been in several different homes and this may have fed her anxiety issues a bit. Someone who is willing to allow Selina the time to learn to trust is key. Someone firm and consistent will help her blossom into a more stable little girl. Patience and commitment are crucial for Selina. This pretty girl has a hard time gaining weight and this is likely also due to the anxiety she lives with. Selina is currently on Prozac to help with her separation anxiety and her foster mom thinks this might be helping a bit. However, her separation anxiety will likely be a lifelong issue so she does require someone committed to her for the rest of her life and accepting of the fact that while she may improve, she will always have a level of anxiety. With a family who can work with her, spend a ton of time with her, rarely leave her alone and continue working with her, she may improve over time. Her foster mom says this about Selina: Selina is a super sweet girl. She needs a forever home that is willing to accept her severe separation anxiety and continue working with her. She is such a loving dog and is so happy when her people are around. She is always so excited to see me when I get home as I work away from the home. She really needs a family with patience and consistency where she is rarely ever left alone. She also needs to be an only pet and with that, I think she would really thrive. Are you a homebody who would love a companion to kick back with and read a good book? Do you tend to stay around the house or go places that dont have many dogs around where you could take her with you? Vacation at pet-friendly places? Committed to helping a sweet little girl with her anxiety? If this sounds like you, apply for Selina today, and get ready for a trip to IA as FBRN will not ship dogs. FBRN does not ship dogs as cargo. Except in rare or unusual cases, adopters are expected to pick up their dogs from their foster family. In rare or unusual cases, FBRN may be able to assist in transporting a dog to a volunteer near the adopter's home, but the expense of transporting the dog must be the responsibility of the adopting party. FBRN dogs are in foster care in people's private homes. For the foster families' safety, we do not disclose specific locations, and we don't set up meet and greets prior to applications.
