This Frenchie Was Bred to Exhaustion, Then Thrown Away—Now She’s Fighting for her Life
When Roadogs Rescue first laid eyes on a blue-eyed merle Frenchie at a local shelter, their hearts sank. The dog, later named Tazzy Twinklebeam, had clearly been bred to exhaustion and discarded once she was no longer “useful.”
Sadly, Tazzy’s story isn’t unique. Roadogs has seen a growing number of French Bulldogs like her, exploited by breeders and dumped when their bodies give out. Tazzy’s rescue has become a heartbreaking reminder of the dark side of the breed’s popularity. (Watch Video Below)

A Victim of Greedy Breeding
The scars on Tazzy’s body and her swollen nipples tell a heartbreaking story of neglect and overbreeding. Roadogs Rescue believes she was likely exploited by a breeder, forced to produce blue-eyed merle Frenchie puppies worth thousands, all while being hidden away and mistreated.
When she was no longer profitable — either too sick to breed or delivering stillborn or unhealthy litters — she was heartlessly dumped at the shelter. Without Roadogs’ timely intervention, Tazzy’s fate would likely have ended in euthanasia.
Help Tazzy Get the Care She Deserves
Tazzy’s abnormal breathing is a clear sign of the serious health issues she faces — it’s far from how any dog should sound. According to Roadogs Rescue, she’ll need BOAS surgery, palate correction, and spaying to finally breathe and live comfortably.
The cost of her care is estimated at around $5,000. As the rescue heartbreakingly points out, none of this would have been necessary if her breeder had given her proper care, but now, it’s up to them to give Tazzy the second chance she deserves.
But they can’t do it alone. If you’re able, please consider donating to help Tazzy heal and support Roadogs Rescue in their lifesaving work. Visit this link to make a contribution.
Roadogs highlighted in their post, “We are seeing less and less healthy Frenchies. Our shelters are full of dogs like Tazzy and it’s growing everyday.”
Pet rescue advocate Rocky Kanaka remarks, “Tazzy’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of how the breeding industry too often values profit over compassion. Every dog deserves a life filled with love, not one defined by neglect.”
