Harlie! This little French Bulldog powerhouse continues to bring endless joy and laughter to our home with her boundless energy and playful antics.

Harlie’s love for play knows no bounds, and she could spend all day romping around if we let her! Her favorite playmate is still her older foster brother, who does an amazing job keeping up with her spirited nature. Though, he’s quick to let her know when it’s time for a break and a little relaxation.

Ah, Harlie and her penchant for chewing! It’s a good thing we’ve learned to keep things off the floor because if it’s within her reach, it’s fair game for her to investigate with those sharp little teeth. You name it – if it’s on the floor, Harlie’s got her eyes and likely her mouth on it!

But don’t let her mischievous side fool you; Harlie is one smart cookie. She’s picked up on her foster brother’s habits, both the good and the not-so-good. When he barks for a treat, she’s quick to join in and give us that adorable look that says, “Why isn’t he getting a treat?”

And let’s talk about her love for the great outdoors! Harlie is in her element whether she’s chasing after a ball, gnawing on a stick, or simply lounging in the sunshine. There’s nothing quite like seeing her bask in the beauty of nature.

In short, Harlie continues to amaze us with her zest for life and her unwavering affection. We feel incredibly lucky to have her in our lives, even if it means keeping a close eye on our belongings! Whoever is lucky enough to adopt Harlie will surely be gaining a lifelong companion filled with love, laughter, and endless butt wiggles.

Harlie is living her best full-of-energy puppy life and doesn’t miss a beat. You could call her the “Energizer Frenchie” because she’s all about PLAY PLAY PLAY!

Thankfully, her foster brother is a patient soul and knows when to take a break. Harlie’s zest for life extends to her love for food. Not only does she devour her own meal, but she’s also been known to sneak a bite from her foster brother’s bowl if we’re not quick enough to pick it up!

But Harlie’s culinary adventures don’t stop there. She has a penchant for treats, grass, and, believe it or not, wood! Yes, you read that right—wood! Harlie enjoys nothing more than gnawing on bark from the woodpile while soaking up the sun outside.

Speaking of the outdoors, Harlie loves basking in the sunlight and feeling the breeze ruffle her fur. She’ll even bring her bones and toys outside to enjoy the weather with her. Just watch your step—those Benebones can be quite the surprise if you accidentally step on one!

If you’re looking for a funny, fun, and full-of-energy Frenchie to join your family, Harlie is your girl!

After her recent surgery, Harlie had her stitches removed yesterday, and guess what? She’s back to her full puppy mode, and boy, is she loving it!
Harlie is eagerly looking forward to embarking on many adventures, especially going on walks with her foster brother and her favorite twin nieces.
Now, let’s talk leash manners… Harlie might get a tad bit wild on her walks, but fear not! Her foster family is committed to helping her refine her leash etiquette, so she can strut her stuff like a true lady in no time.
Here’s a heads-up though: If you’re someone who needs that first cup of coffee before diving into the day, Harlie might just be too much excitement to handle! She wakes up at full throttle, ready to seize the day with unmatched gusto.
But that’s not all! Harlie is one pup who will not be ignored. She’s got her own special way of asking for attention: she’ll bring you a toy and drop it in your lap, inviting you to play with her. And if that doesn’t work, she’ll shake that toy up and paw at you until you get the message loud and clear!
Oh, and about those safety gates… well, let’s just say Harlie is one smart cookie! This clever girl has figured out how to push her way right through them, showing off her problem-solving skills and determination to explore every nook and cranny of her surroundings.
Harlie is a bundle of joy, bursting with love and energy, and she’s ready to bring endless smiles and laughter into your life. If you’re ready for a whirlwind of fun and adventure, Harlie could be your perfect match.

Harlie is doing well in her foster home after her spay and vulvoplasty. Despite the need for some extra TLC and calmness during her recovery, Harlie is shining bright with her resilient spirit and affectionate nature.

Since her procedures, Harlie has been on a no walk, light activity regimen until her stitches are removed next Tuesday. Despite the temporary pause on walks, she’s been soaking up all the love and attention from her foster family, showing her gratitude with every butt wiggle and snuggle.

Speaking of snuggles, Harlie has truly mastered the art of cuddling. Whether it’s on the couch or in an office chair, she’ll find her way into your lap with a heart-melting sweetness that’s impossible to resist. And if you happen to overlook her for a moment, don’t worry – she’s not shy about letting out the cutest little cry to remind you of her presence and need for affection.

Harlie’s love for soaking up some Vitamin D knows no bounds. She’s a sunbathing aficionado, reveling in those warm rays whenever she can. With the weather getting warmer, her outdoor time may be shorter, but her enjoyment remains unwavering.

Harlie’s foster family, including twin girls who visit regularly, brings her endless joy. She adores playing with them, though she did have a comical moment of uncertainty when confronted with bubbles – a new experience for this curious pup!

Hey there, fellow bulldog enthusiasts! It’s time for a paw-some update on our darling foster pup, Harlie. This 10-month-old French Bulldog is melting hearts left and right with her irresistible charm and endearing personality.

First things first, Harlie is currently in heat, so she’s experiencing some extra TLC during this time. Her foster family is ensuring she’s comfortable and well-cared-for throughout this natural phase of her life.

Because Harlie is in heat, we had to stop walks for right now – we don’t want all the dogs in the neighborhood to come to our yard. Harlie loves to walk and once we start our regular walking routine again, we will work with her to not pull quite as much. She just wants to GO and you better be prepared to go too or this 23 lb. Frenchie is going to pull you around the neighborhood.

Harlie is quite the foodie! She’s incredibly food motivated and enjoys mealtime with gusto. To ensure harmony during feeding, Harlie is fed separately from her foster sibling, allowing her to savor every delicious bite without any interruptions.

When it comes to playtime, Harlie is all in! She’s a bundle of energy and enthusiasm, always eager to engage in games and activities that stimulate her curious mind and playful spirit. Whether it’s chasing balls, playing tug-of-war with her foster brother, or simply doing zoomies around the yard, Harlie approaches every moment with infectious joy and enthusiasm.

And let’s not forget about Harlie’s love for Benebones! These chewy delights are her absolute favorite, providing hours of entertainment and satisfaction. Harlie eagerly savors every moment of chewing bliss.

Harlie is a delightful addition to our foster family, radiating love, joy, and endless cuddles wherever she goes. With her lovable nature and irresistible charm, Harlie is sure to capture the hearts of her future forever family.

Thank you for following along on Harlie’s journey. Stay tuned for more updates as she continues to thrive and spread happiness wherever she goes!

Please welcome Harlie to No Borders Bulldog Rescue.  Harlie is a 10-month-old female French Bulldog that weighs approximately 23 lbs. 

Harlie joins the NBBR family as an owner surrender.   Harlie’s previous owner was having medical issues and was no longer able to care for Harlie.   Before you jump to conclusions, her owner did EVERYTHING she could to care for Harlie.  All the resources she had at her disposal had been utilized.  She knew that Harlie deserved better care than she could currently provide, so she made the ultimate sacrifice and decided to do what was best for Harlie.  She contacted NBBR and asked if we could help find Harlie a new forever home.  Typically, we are running at compacity (foster-wise) and now is not different, however we had a foster recently mention that she would be willing to foster.  It turns out that it was a good match for both the foster AND Harlie.  So, the rest is history as they say. 

Harlie joined her new foster family and quickly made herself at home.  We suggest slow introductions for new fosters and forever dogs in the home.  Harlie has a new foster brother (another Frenchie).  Everyone was following the rules and both dogs were separated by a baby gate so that they see and smell one another and get used to each other without a stressful first meeting.   Harlie and her foster brother were both going crazy on their respective side of the gate and clearly wanted to meet each other.   It was decided that everyone would go out in the yard together for a quick first introduction.  Flash forward a few minutes and they are chasing each other around the yard.  If first meetings are any indication, they are going to be besties.   Harlie will need to go to the clinic to get a check-up and scheduled for a spay.  She appears to be in great shape and well cared for.   Currently we do know that Harlie has allergies and a sensitive stomach (like many Frenchies) and cannot eat certain things. This is not likely to change, so her forever family will need to be comfortable with a special diet and potentially allergy medication.    But before we go down that road Miss Harlie will be spending her days settling into her new foster home and letting us get to know her personality a little better. Stay tuned for future updates and follow along as Miss Harlie starts her journey to find her new forever family.
