Meet adoptable deaf 7 year old Frenchie Lave who is currently looking for a loving forever  home with someone who will cherish him, become his new best friend, never give up on him and always keep him safe.

From his rescue advocate: Meet Lava, a 7-year-old Frenchie with a story that melts hearts as fast as his name suggests. When his beloved owner passed away, Lava’s whole world shifted overnight. The home he knew, the routine he loved, the person who understood all his little quirks gone. But Lava has held on to something powerful: his gentle, loyal spirit.

Lava is a pack-selective king he definitely has opinions about who gets to join his circle. He tends to gravitate toward dogs who look like him (what can we say… Frenchies know Frenchies! ). But when it comes to people? Lava’s heart opens wide. He loves humans of all ages, from tiny toddlers to grown-ups with soft voices and patient hands. He leans in for affection, welcomes cuddles, and soaks up every bit of love offered his way.

Behind those expressive Frenchie eyes is a dog who has loved deeply, lost deeply, and is now ready for a new chapter. Lava is looking for someone who will honor the bond he had with his first person someone who understands that love doesn’t disappear, it just grows again in a new home, with a new family.

If you’re lucky enough to earn a spot in Lava’s heart (and his selective little pack), you’ll gain a loyal companion with a huge personality, a gentle soul, and so much love to give.
