BIX - FRENCH BULLDOG (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: French Bulldog (short coat). An Absolute Doll! Bix is an approx. 6 year old, 23 pound, spayed female French Bulldog. After spending her life making babies for a breeder, Miss Bix is ready to be pampered and loved on! Bix is new to SVPP, but she has shown us so much already! She does well on car rides, loves to go for walks and only pulls when her buddies walk faster than she does. She is friendly to every person she meets, and wants to be friends with most dogs, too. She is a bully breed and tends to charge in, so slow introductions with shyer dogs will be important. Like most French Bulldogs, Bix has some special considerations her family will have to embrace. She is an allergy dog. She suffered chronic, untreated ear infections for a long time which resulted in nerve damage causing her head tilt and paralysis of the right side of her face. Her facial paralysis includes her right eyelid, so daily otc ointment needs to be applied to help her eye stay hydrated. She is also all Frenchie in her small nose and elongated palate. Bix is therefore heat sensitive and needs to be monitored closely in warm weather. None of these challenges should surprise an experienced Frenchie-loving home. And thankfully, Bix is a pro at doing her eye and skin treatments. All attention is good attention for Bix :-) Even with these issues, Bix is a happy, energetic girl who will give years of joy to the right forever family. Her foster mom says about Bix, "She will snort and wiggle her way into anyone's heart. Guaranteed."
