Shmoo - Boxer and English Bulldog Dog for Adoption in Twentynine Palms, California

Shmoo came to the shelter as a stray, and sadly, no one came to reclaim her. Their loss may be someone else's very lucky gain, because Shmoo is silly, fun, affectionate, and incredibly sweet with everyone she meets.

She's still new to the shelter, so we're continuing to get to know her. She has not yet been fully dog tested, so if there are other dogs in the home, a meet-and-greet will be important to make sure everyone is comfortable and it feels like a good match.

Bulldogs are known for their goofy personalities and lovable charm, but potential adopters should also understand that the breed can come with some special care needs.

Regular veterinary care, maintaining a healthy weight, keeping skin folds clean and dry, and staying on top of any medical concerns will be an important part of helping Shmoo stay comfortable and healthy.

Shmoo is looking for someone who loves the fun and quirky bulldog personality and is also ready to make a real commitment to her long-term care. In return, she has plenty of sweetness, laughs, and love to give.
