Story
Rain is a rare thing here in Southern California, and somehow it was during a storm that this unforgettable little guy made his entrance into the world of people who would finally help him. One rainy evening, a woman heard strange noises outside her home. When she went to investigate, she found Zoboomafoo standing there in the downpour, missing most of his fur except for the long tufts on his ears, his skin covered in painful scabs and lesions. She knew immediately he needed help.Believing he was a pug, she searched for pug rescues, found us, and drove through the pouring rain to bring him to safety. When Zoboomafoo arrived, we were heartbroken by his condition but also completely taken by how unique and special he is. It was clear he had been neglected for a long time before finding his way to us. Based on his appearance and background, we believe Zoboomafoo is likely a “fluffy Frenchie,” a designer mix often produced through irresponsible breeding, which can unfortunately lead to serious medical issues like the ones he has endured.Once in our care, Zoboomafoo finally began receiving the treatment he so desperately needed. His cracked, itchy skin and bleeding sores have improved significantly, and while we cannot guarantee that all of his fur will grow back, his skin is softer, healthier, and far more comfortable now. He does still have some lumps and bumps, but they are not painful, and with continued care, he is expected to keep improving. Zoboomafoo will need an adopter who is comfortable staying on top of ongoing medical and grooming needs, including regular medicated baths for the foreseeable future.Zoboomafoo is estimated to be around 5.5 years old and weighs about 18 pounds. What he lacks in fur, he more than makes up for in personality. He is completely devoted to his people and absolutely thrives on human attention. If he had his way, he would be the center of your universe and honestly… he deserves it. Because of this, he may do best as the only dog in the home, though he does enjoy playing with other dogs. He has a tendency to become possessive over his people out of deep attachment and a desire to feel secure. Zoboomafoo loves to play, especially chasing toys, but his true passion is cuddling. Walks are not his favorite activity, but curling up next to his favorite person absolutely is. After everything he has been through, he is clearly soaking up every ounce of love he can get. His ideal home would be with someone who has experience with medical dogs or is willing to learn, someone who understands that caring for him is part of loving him. In return, Zoboomafoo will give unwavering devotion, endless snuggles, and the kind of bond that only comes from truly saving a life. He is rare, he is special, and he is ready for a home that will love him exactly as he is. Could that be you? Please inquire today!
