UPDATE: Droopy was adopted on Sunday, February 13, 2011! We hope he’s loving his new home.
Have you ever met a Dogue de Bordeaux?
I hadn’t until Droopy came along. This handsome guy with the big smile is a Dogue de Bordeaux/Mix, also know as a French Mastiff. True to his breed, Droopy is friendly, playful, and even tempered.
Why anyone would abandon this exceptional dog to wander two of the busiest roads in Boulder (HWY 36 and Foothills Parkway) is beyond my capacity to understand. But, lucky for Droopy and his to-be forever family, a kind soul brought him to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley (HSBV).
Droopy is about three years old, a perfect age. He’s past adolescence and settling into becoming a lovely young adult. And, of course, he’s neutered.
He’s been a rock star at the HSBV, successfully meeting both dogs and cats, and greeting everyone with a big tail wag. And, loves treats!
Does Droopy’s gorgeous mug make your heart go pitter-pat?
If you think Droopy might be the one for you, please call HSBV at 303-442-4030 during their regular shelter hours to speak to an animal welfare associate. Click here for a map and directions
This sweetheart of a teddy bear would love to meet you!
GAH! Droopy is adorable! You’re right, a 3 year old dog is the perfect age for a dog, puppyhood is over and adolescent naughtiness is a thing of the past. He’s such a happy dog though that he needs a new name that matches his personality. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Christine. He is a happy boy.
Wow, what a great video! I know some shelters and rescues that could learn a lot from this one.
Hope Droopy finds his home soon. He’s irresistible.
Aw. Thanks. Me too.
Awww! He’s adorable! We have a Dogue de Bordeaux at our dog park. She is the sweetest thing you could ever meet. She is so loved by her owner that she even has birthday parties with her friends. 🙂 I hope Droopy has the same fortune and luck!
Thanks, Melf.

Droppy is a great looking dog and I am sure he is doing quite well at the present. He looks good in the bandana. Good luck my four-legged friend.
