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
Annnnd here is just another reason to "rescue" dogs, not "buy" them from some lowlife backyard breeder!!
I don't think he looks ugly. He looks surprised. He is so cute and so is his brother
All the reactions are nice but it's also kinda sad. A dog who needs a home gets media attention and suddenly everyone wants to adopt him, but those same people would never think of visiting a shelter and adopting a pet that didn't have a story going viral on the media... (don't get me wrong, it's great that his duo is going to be adopted because all of this, but there's so many pets left in shelters.)
Thats true but I think stories like this encourage people to go to rescue centres, without an publicity they wouldn't get many donations or forever homes...
i want him! his imperfection is what makes him perfect! he's no different as long as he is loved ❤
Why don't anybody want him? I would take him if I could, he's so cute!
*didn't
He's lovely but still I guess he needs some surgery, not that much estetic as functional one. His left lip is being hit by his theeth. It may hurt in fact. His mouth is not completely closed, that means that it dries out too much. Picasso might be in pain but he got used to it because he doesn't know that it can be different. The surgery may not be that painful. But can you imagine how much his life would change after that?!
Supervet to the rescue, he could make a huge difference Im sure...
Aw, poor dog, that jaw looks very uncomfortable... :<
I was just reading articles then I saw him and the title and I started cry like a kid.
he is super cute!!!
nobody is perfect , i think is nice dog , i wish i had him,dont juge from face ,insiade it must count
I really hope those two handsome boys will be adopted to a good home soon! Maybe we get to see an update
He couldn't be more perfect or handsome!!! They are both fine looking men!!!
They are BOTH very handsome, and it will be so easy for someone to fall in love with those eyes!!!
Aawww so happy Picasso and his brofur Pablo´ve been rescued by Luvable Dogs, Picasso´s really perfectly "imperfect", he has such beautiful eyes and a cute face in spite of the "twisted" jaw, they should both be adopted together, as bonded as they are, good luck lil ones!!!
I'll take them both in if still in need
I hope they get adopted together and have a wonderful, loving family.
I would love to adopt him. Can you give me more info please.
I just want to give him kisses & cuddles!
Picasso ist ein sehr lieber Hund ,wie ich sehen konnte und diese Augen machen die Ausstrahlung perfekt!
Has there been any progress in getting Picasso's face fixed?
this breaks my heart
Both dogs are just as beautiful.
I wish people would understand - in the pursuit of perfection there will always be one or two rejects. It is these rejects that colour your life and make it exciting.
Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
He's perfick !!
He's so precious I'm glad he's with his brother!
This is what happens when people buy dogs from breeders....they just make more and more and "dump" the unsold to DIE. If you don't rescue you are literally a killer.
They looks so happy in that last photo!
Omg😍😘they both cute,thk god he found his forever home n his bro,sad they were puttin him to sleep bc of his abnormalities, not fare soo sad..it breaks my heart when i read this stories
The only thing wrong with Picasso is it looks like his nose "melted" over his lower jaw. I think that gives him character. If I was able to, I'd adopt him in a heartbeat. He's adorable.
Glad he's with his brother they will look out for each other ! He's a cutie different but not ugly x
I will have him. He's perfect and as long as his tail wags that's good enough for me.😁
I this he is so CUTE! GREAT NAME! I LOVE HIM!
Beautiful
So happy for you, good boy, be safe and well, you are loved now !!!!
I think he is adorable. I hope they can help him somewhat, having his jaw that way might be uncomfortable. It's great that he's with his bro
Really? They were adopted?? Yaaaay!! So happy, they are very sweet and deserve a good home
When Iooking a dog, i look into theirs eyes, and I know how warm and nice they are.
He is soooo ugly... I love him :)
