Meet Picasso, The Perfectly Imperfect Dog That No One Wanted
219Kviews
Meet Picasso, the dog with a twisted jaw, who, together with his brother Pablo, was left at a shelter and slated to be euthanised. The siblings were born to a backyard breeder, who managed to sell all the puppies from the litter, except for Picasso who has a very noticeable facial abnormality. After being surrendered to a shelter, Picasso soon got reunited with Pablo, as the family who bought his brother changed their mind about having a pooch. The brothers didn’t have much time left before being put to sleep…
And that’s when Luvable Dog Rescue stepped in. “I just happened to ask [if they] had any unusual-looking or special needs dogs,” Liesl Wilhardt, executive director of Luvable Dog Rescue, told The Dodo. “[They] sent me Picasso’s shelter intake photo. He was curled in a dog bed, and looked very sad. His twisted face was startling, but he had soft and gentle eyes, and for me it was love at first sight!”
Luvable will take both boys in and make sure they get adopted together after Picasso undergoes surgery to remove the teeth pushing into the roof of his mouth.

He's gorgeous 😙 loving his name, very fitting
He is different but not ugly! he has adorable kind eyes.
Where can I send a contribution for the cost of surgery? Poor guy.
I don't think it'S worth sending the poor pooch through tons of painful surgery. Yes, it looks really odd, but he seems to be ok eating and breathing. He doesn't know he looks strange and he found a good home AND with his brother, too.
It says in the article he will be having surgery to remove some teeth.
He could be in constant discomfort though. Impossible to know for sure with animals I guess, but if I move my jaw to the side it feels really annoying. Poor baby.
he does not have a home he's at the shelter. Why would you not do corrective surgery . Would you leave a child like that if there was treatment and there life could be better.
Yes he should get that corrected where do we send
