As far as an older Frenchie 'rescue'...of course I would consider one.
But let's be honest. They're $3,500 and up! My son paid $4K before the litter even arrived.
So the chances of finding one in a shelter are slim to none.
But that's not the point. I've already played the back-nine and I'm in the clubhouse with my shoes off...front of the fireplace...wrapped in a blanket.
Luckily, I have my cat already claimed. I will NOT leave my pets to a shelter!
Spouse camps out on Pet Finder, and tells me that "adoptable" Frenchies are available, though even the shelters know what gold mines Frenchies are. On a lucky day, and if you are lucky enough to live close by, you can find a 3-5 y.o, one for generally $500-$1000. They are usually surrenders, or may have some special or medical need.
My kid paid $3K for his. Adorable as hell, and we were able to dog-sit the critter for a month a few years back. Lots of fun.
