Introducing Scoots Von Kissyface! 🐾💋 This remarkable French Bulldog is more than just a cute face; he's an inspiring story of resilience and love! At approximately 6 years old and weighing in at 20 lbs, Scoots comes with a PhD in perseverance and a heart full of affection. He arrived at the rescue from a shelter, having endured the harsh realities of life on the streets. Picture this: a scrappy little guy with crusty nose, bloody paws, and open wounds, just trying to survive. Sadly, this tale is not uncommon for street dogs, but it speaks volumes to the strength of his spirit. What made his story even more dramatic? Scoots was paralyzed in his back end! Can you believe it? Yet, despite dragging himself around with that brave heart, he still managed to be gentle, loving, and eager to smother anyone in his path with kisses. It’s those moments that truly fill the heart with both laughter and tears. Here at the rescue, we saw potential. We believed that even if Scoots never walked again, we could shower him with a life filled with joy. That’s when he earned the lovely name Scoots Von Kissyface—because of his unique scooting style and that ridiculously adorable face. His diagnosis? Likely IVDD—a condition that’s stable but permanent. It felt heart-wrenching to think he'd never run again. But Scoots had other plans! With dedicated care—including spine and disc support, muscle therapy, and lots of love—he began showing signs of improvement. One day, while we stepped out just for a moment, Scoots wiggled himself to a standing position and attempted to follow us! This wasn’t just remarkable—it was magical! ✨ Thanks to generous support, Scoots received an Assisi Loop (which he’ll take to his new forever home!). With time and persistence, he started not just walking, but running—albeit with a wobbly charm. Is he a little tipsy as he triumphantly trots? Yes! But that doesn't stop him! Scoots is one happy little soul who adores giving kisses to everyone—dogs, cats, kids; he loves them all. However, his journey doesn’t end here. Scoots requires a special adopter—a loving soul who can embrace him through all the twists and turns. While he’s thriving, there's always a chance his condition could change. What he truly needs is a forever companion who will cherish him just the way he is, wobbles and wheels included. So, if you can overlook that charming little gait and see the beautifully brave, endlessly loving spirit radiating from him, it’s time to meet Scoots Von Kissyface. This little miracle worker will fill your life with a love that reshapes how you view the world. You don't just have a chance to adopt him; you have the chance to welcome a testament to resilience into your home. So, if your heart is ready—apply through the Buddy App today! 🥳💙🐾
