Igor Smooches

If you've ever dreamed of owning a tiny gargoyle with the heart of a teddy bear, allow us to introduce Igor.

Igor is a 3-year-old, 22-pound French Bulldog (we think!) who is guaranteed to make you smile every single day. Between his adorable underbite, his permanently poking little "teethies," and his oversized bat ears, he looks like he walked straight out of a cartoon—and somehow he's even cuter in person. His expressions are absolutely priceless, and his goofy little face has a way of melting hearts everywhere he goes. But as adorable as he is, it's Igor's personality that truly steals the show. This handsome little guy is a world-class cuddle bug. He's perfectly lap-sized and takes his snuggle responsibilities very seriously. Whether he's curled up beside you on the couch, leaning into you for pets, or covering your face in sweet little kisses, Igor's favorite place in the world is wherever his people are. And don't even get us started on his velvety-soft head—it practically begs to be petted. When playtime rolls around, Igor is all in. He's a toy enthusiast who loves carrying his favorites around, entertaining himself, or convincing you to join in for a game of tug. Toss in a tasty treat, and you've officially become his favorite person. Speaking of treats, Igor has the funniest habit of smacking his lips after every bite, complete with his silly little underbite and crooked teeth, making him look like a tiny old man with dentures. It's impossible not to laugh. Like many Frenchies, Igor comes with a healthy dose of bulldog sass. Around other dogs, he can be a little opinionated and occasionally likes everyone to know he's got important Frenchie business to attend to. He's got that classic "bossy little bulldog" attitude that Frenchie lovers know and adore. The good news? His dramatic moments are usually short-lived, and before long he's ready to move on and play. It's all part of his charming, goofy personality. Igor recently met a young girl and absolutely adored her, happily showering her with gentle kisses and affection. We think he'd make a wonderful family companion for respectful kiddos who are ready for a best friend with four paws. We're still learning how Igor feels about cats, but we'd be happy to introduce him to a feline friend if your home already has one.

Ideal Home

Whether you live in a cozy apartment or a home with a backyard, Igor is happy as long as he has his people, a comfy couch, a basket full of toys, and plenty of opportunities to cuddle. Sure, he'd love a yard to zoom around in, but at the end of the day, he's much more interested in curling up beside you than anything else. He would make a wonderful family companion for respectful kiddos.

Ongoing Health

Igor's medical care includes DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, and a heartworm test and treatment if needed. He also received a microchip with free lifetime registration.
