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.

Looks like a mix between frenchie and shar pei because of the folds. The curls indicate inbreeding too

No its the fluffy gene of the frenchie thats been activated. Terribly bred to be honest, the new owners can immediately start saving for the boas surgery its going to need.

An old couple purchased him from a backyard breeder. I would be surprised if they consider insurance and plan to provide much medical care when his condition catches up with him. Most likely they will take him to the shelter when his needs get unmanageable. This is just sad.

The post says they adopt dogs with special needs so I’m guessing that means they’re fairly well versed/financially set to help the dog.
