This handsome and sweet guy is Won Ton. He was picked up stray by a Good Samaritan and brought to the shelter. Sadly, when he arrived his skin was a mess and he had double ear infections. His ears are healed and his skin looks amazing. However, as with any Bulldog or Bulldog breed mix skin issues tend to be part of the package. Won Ton is a prescription food and medication which he may need for the rest of his life. We understand that his needs may not be for everyone but we know that the right family is out there for him. We are hoping that this second chance is exactly what this guy needs. He is looking for a family to love, a bed to curl up in, a home to call his own and he will need to be your only fur baby as he is not a fan of other animals and will do best in an adult home. This guy is full of energy but settles down like a champ and loves to just lay at your feet, he is affectionate as one of his favorite things to do is give you a face full of wet kisses. Won Ton is 53 pounds, about three to four years young, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, micro-chipped and heartworm negative. Won Ton will need an owner who is experienced in Bulldog/Bulldog mix medical issues and the stubborn behavior they can exhibit.
