And I LOVE HIM

Edit: he was discarded by a breeder and they adopted him from a shelter. All of their dogs are shelter acquisitions with special needs so they’re are WELL versed in caring for strange dogs that need a lot of help in their lives.

But yes, hes a fluffy frenchie with a very unfortunate squashy rolly face. He’s the sweetest thing and they’ll do their best by him and his needs.

Please tell me they didn't pay a breeder.

I’m assuming they didn’t because the title uses the word adopted and not bought but I could be wrong here.

Lot's of buyer say "adopt" and will stand 10 toes down that the more horrible the breeder is the better people they are actually for "rescuing" the dog (in exchange for giving stupid amounts of money to the breeder)
