The cost of cute: animal advocates ring the alarm over increase in French bulldog surrenders

Published Mar 30, 2025 at 1:00am

Animal advocates in Montreal are sounding the alarm over an increase in the number of French bulldogs being surrendered because owners are unable or unwilling to pay for their care.

They say the breed may be cute but the dogs often come with chronic medical issues and people are unaware of the high costs adopting one can carry. What's more, their popularity pushes unethical breeders to bad practices, which perpetuates their innate health problems.
