Mars - Cocker Spaniel and French Bulldog Dog for Adoption in Shorewood, Illinois

Delilah, Daisy, and Mars came to us from local animal control after being removed from a hoarding situation. We were told they are Cocker Spaniel/French Bulldog mixes. They're adorably goofy and are slowly learning to trust and about all the good things in life! They are all right at 22lbs and around 1-2yrs old. They are working on building confidence, getting comfortable with leashes, and all the noises of everyday life. They will need patient homes that can help them decompress, learn, and blossom! Potential adopters should understand that the potential breeds they are mixed with are both prone to ear infections. Please make sure to research the breeds! Because of their past, they would do best in a home without children.

Mars is a ball of fun! He will launch himself at you, hoping you will catch him, then launch himself off you just to launch back onto you again. He warms up the quickest and will happily investigate new friends. He LOVES toys, especially balls, and will pounce on them to roll them around. He is doing well on learning the leash, but still has some more progress to make.
