If you could ask every staff member at the Humane Society of Broward County to mention the friendliest dogs under their care, one name would come up too many times: Lickitung.
5-year-old Lickitung — or Licki, as she’s fondly nicknamed — is the type of dog who’ll prove to you, from the moment you meet her, that she’s an absolute lovebug. But once you learn her backstory, you’ll immediately realize that her sweet personality is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s hard to believe that this lovely American Bulldog is a pup full of love despite the harrowing experiences she’s been through. (Watch Video Below)
@humanebroward We love her anyway… and so will you! ❤️🙏 5-year-old Lickitung (aka Licki) is really going through it 🥺 First of all, before she came to us she lived with 11 other dogs! We’re not sure if it was a breeding operation, but Licki has definitely had her share of puppies 😔 When she arrived she was suffering from ear infections, skin allergies and had to undergo entropic surgery to her eyelids ❤️🩹 She also has crusty skin where her ears were cropped and her tongue always hangs out of her mouth 🥺 Despite all of this, Licki is one of the friendliest and most loving dogs you will meet ❤️ She’s good with all people (even babies) and all dog personalities, and she is ok with cats. She knows commands like sit, lay and go, will go on short walks only, and she loves to eat everything (although her skin allergies may limit what she can eat). She’s very affectionate and mostly just wants to be close to you getting belly rubs ❤️ Lickitung will likely be prone to reoccuring ear infections, so at home maintenance (e.g. ear cleanings) and veterinary care may be needed if infections recur ❤️🩹 Can you help this happy girl on her journey to good health? Licki is ready to fill your home with love and laughter! ❤️ If you can’t adopt, please share her post 🙏 To meet Lickitung or any other pet, please complete a pre-adoption application at www.humanebroward.com (link in bio) and then stop by. The Humane Society of Broward County is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL and the adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. If you have questions call 954-989-3977. #rescuedog #shelterdog #adoptme #adoptdontshop #hotmess #florida #dogvideos #reels #staffylove #explorepage #americanbully #fyp #dogs #dogoftheday #dogsoftiktok #dogshelter #animalshelter #foryou #foryoupage #pittie #pittiesoftiktok #bulldog #bullybreed #pittielove #mutt #doglover #dogtok #englishbulldog #staffy #mama #momma #bulldogsoftiktok ♬ original sound – Humane Society Broward County
A Life of Pain & Neglect
Before coming to the shelter, Licki endured a miserable life. She spent years living in a cramped space crowded with 11 other dogs; life was chaotic, stressful, and unkind to her. Nobody cared about Licki’s comfort, health, or happiness. The shelter suspects Licki was repeatedly used for breeding, her value as a dog reduced to the number of puppies her body could churn out…
