It was such a heartwarming union to witness — Bulldog butt nubbin wiggles, smiles and slobbery kisses everywhere! Fester and Bruno Mars Barz are beyond blessed with their new parents and are settling into their new home perfectly. Soon, they’ll even be exploring their condo on the beach!
Fester already proved he’s ready for Florida living after his sprinting, flying cannonball into the pool two weekends ago. YIIKES! He’s definitely a water baby! Tracy and Sidney can’t wait to teach him about water safety and his life vest is already waiting.
We can’t wait for the “Florida lifestyle” updates and hope to see the whole family at Bull-O-Ween next year. We’re betting they’ll come dressed as The Beach Boys! Happy tails! 🐾
WELCOME BACK: Hello all. It’s Fester and Denali, and after 5 years we are back Sunday morning a transport picked us up and we headed back to join rescue. Fester is tan and he is smaller and has a red harness on, he is 7. Denali is 20lbs thicker and she loves to eat. She is 9 and has a growth on her foot. They travel everywhere side by side.
Denali loves her food and she does not need to be fed close to Fester because she has no trouble running him off and eating his also.
Returning to rescue has been hard on them. They looked at me like “who the hell are you and why am I here?” I would love to say they have a bright future that there will be a family who will want to adopt these 2 seniors, but I really don’t know.
They went to the vet yesterday and had a complete checkup, got all their vaccinations, and made an appointment to have the growth taken off Denali’s foot.
Nancy and Scott will foster them for only a short time due to a lot of things going on in their families right now. But let’s all try and find these 2 a home in their golden years. This is so not fair.
INTRODUCTION: My name is Fester and I am 18 months old. My mom had another older dog who was not a bulldog and his name was Lurch. So when I came along she named me Fester. Can you guess what TV show she liked?
But mom lost her job and our house. She has been doing what they call “couch surfing” for a while and taking us along. She decided it was not good for us, so she gave Lurch to a friend and me to rescue. She knew only a bulldog rescue could really appreciate how perfect I am.
I have had a problem with cherry eye before and it is trying to come back. Otherwise I am in pretty good shape. I am young, big (around 60 pounds), and love to play.
I sure hope mom was right. She cried today, hugged me one last time, and told me how special I was. Then she said rescue would find me another home just perfect for me. Could that be yours? Do you think you would be a good match for me?
10/20/20 UPDATE: Fester is your typical male puppy. He has a lot of energy, but can also be super sweet and snuggly. Fester loves playing with other dogs. He hasn’t shown too much interest in toys because he is always so busy playing with his foster siblings and foster parents.
6/25/25 UPDATE: From the foster momma: Greetings from this dynamic duo!
Denali Daphne soaked up the sunshine on Tongue Out Tuesday as she prepped for her surgery today. She’s made a strong recovery from pneumonia and was ready to have the mass on her foot removed. A biopsy will be done, so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers—we’re hoping for good news and a benign result. We’ll share updates as we have them!
Meanwhile, Fester fully embraced Toofers Out Tuesday yesterday! He’s proving to be a top-notch work-from-home companion. If you’re looking for the ultimate office buddy, he’s your guy—but he wants to remind everyone that sweet Denali Daphne have to be a package deal. After all, behind every strong man is an even stronger woman!
The ladies say I’m quite the hunk by the pool. But truth be told, I’m a bit of a needy guy (and proud of it). I live for attention, snuggles and water!
8/25/25 UPDATE: Today’s wise words from foster boy Fester: Tackle Monday like it’s the last cookie in the jar: full commitment, no hesitation.We’re still looking for a great home for this sweet cookie monster!
