American Bulldog and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in West Des Moines, Iowa

His name is Papa Smurf, but he's got more of a Shrek-in-a-cow-costume vibe. Big ears, bigger heart, and possibly no idea you're calling his name (he might be deaf, or he might just have selective hearing - we'll never know). He's a black-and-white patchwork of cuddles, clumsy zoomies, and all the sloppiest kisses you could possibly imagine! This big man is looking for someone who loves long walks (at his pace), belly rubs on demand, and doesn't mind a little drool every now and then, he loves to play but he might do best as the only dog in the home. if you've got treats and patience stop by the shelter and meet Papa Smurf!
